In Revelation 4:1, John speaks of what happens "after these things" "meta tauta".
After what things?
The divine outline to the book of Revelation is given in Revelation 1:19.
"The things that are" being the church age...or, the age of grace.
The Letters to the seven churches are for every Believer in Christ = You must overcome just as Christ overcame.
There is no such thing as a pre-trib rapture = it is a lie from satan = reject it and embrace the Word of God.
Revelation Begins and Ends with the SAME message to the Believer.
This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and obey what is written in it, because the time is near. Rev 1:1-3
Then the angel said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His angel to show His servants what must soon take place.”
“Behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of prophecy in this book."
Rev 22:6-7
