Chronological Revelation

Dear Sir:

I would appreciate as much material with scriptural support on endtime prophecy as it applies to the last das that precede the seven years of Tribulation as well as the step by step events that occur within the seven years of Tribulation — especially the 3 1/2 years of the Great Tribulation. I also would like to know if Revelation 6-18, which depicts the Tribulation, is written in chronological order?
If so, it appears that none of the seven seals, seven vials and seven trumpets have occurred yet before the beginning of the seven years of Tribulation. There is a prophecy ministry that does teach that the seals, vials and trumpets have already occurred in part, even though the seven years of Tribulation have not begun. They also teach that the book of Revelation is not written in chronological order.

If you could take the time to answer the questions of this letter, I would be very thankful in addition to anything you may have on endtime prophecy.

Answer: Please keep in mind that John was raptured into heaven and he saw the past, the present and the future as one event.For that reason,I do not think it is a wise to analyze the book of Revelation in chronological order from an earthly perspective. However, those judgments will come upon the earth because they have not yet taken place. Nevertheless, from a heavenly perspective, they have already taken place.
