Chapters 6-7 are the first six seals. They start with the revealing of Antichrist and go to the end with Jesus returning. It is a synopsis of the time period that covers runs from the "abomination of desolation" to Jesus coming and beyond (Matthew 24:15-31) |

Chapters 8-22 are all the revelation of the seventh seal. It covers the same time period of the previous 6 seals, but gives specific information from a variety of aspects. The seven trumpets and the seven bowls are included in the seventh seal. (we also get information in chapters 21-22 that detail beyond Jesus' second coming. In the six seals there are only allusions to what is next. here are details) |
