Revelation:

Christ opens the six seals, and John sees the events therein—In the fifth seal, he sees the Christian martyrs; and in the sixth, he sees the signs of the times. John also sees in the sixth seal the Restoration of the gospel, the sealing of the ,, and the hosts of the exalted from all nations. John sees fire and desolation poured out during the seventh seal and preceding the Second Coming.

John also sees the wars and plagues poured out during the seventh seal and before the Lord comes. John seals up many things relative to the last days—He is commissioned to participate in the restoration of all things. John sees the imminent apostasy of the Church—He also sees the War in Heaven in the beginning when Satan was cast out—He sees the continuation of that war on earth.

John sees fierce-looking beasts that represent degenerate earthly kingdoms controlled by Satan—The devil works miracles and deceives men. The Lamb will stand upon Mount Zion—The gospel will be restored in the last days by angelic ministry—The Son of Man will harvest the earth. Exalted Saints praise God in celestial glory forever.

God pours out plagues upon the wicked—The nations assemble for Armageddon—Christ comes, islands flee, and mountains cease. John is shown that Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations, has become established throughout the earth.

The Saints are called out of Babylon lest they partake of her sins—She falls and is lamented by her supporters. Satan is bound during the Millennium—The Saints will then live and reign with Christ—The dead stand before God and are judged out of the books according to their works. Those who overcome will be sons of God—The earth attains its celestial glory. The Saints will reign in celestial splendor—Christ will come, and men will be judged—Blessed are they who keep His commandments.

Chapter 2 He who overcomes will gain eternal life, avoid the second death, inherit the celestial kingdom, and rule many kingdoms. Chapter 3 He who overcomes will retain his name in the book of life, reach godhood, and be with Jesus as He is with the Father. Chapter 4 John sees the celestial earth, the throne of God, and all created things worshipping the Lord. Chapter 5 John sees the book sealed with seven seals, and he sees those people redeemed out of every nation—He hears every creature praising God and the Lamb.

He will remove evil permanently and make all things anew.
