Lesson #11: Storm Clouds In Heaven

As we come to the 4th chapter of Revelation we come to the brink of the third division of the book. Revelation 1:19 gives us the three sections: The Things Which Thou Hast Seen (Rev. 1:1-20). The things which are (2:1-3:22). The things which shall be hereafter (4:1f). Notice the "After this" in (Rev. 4:1) it is a shift in the events. This signals to us that John is about to see events that are to come. This is a future scene that will take place after the Church has finished its course and has been removed from the world.
