Introduction
E. Supplementary revelation of John’s preparation for recording the remaining judgments in the Great Tribulation ch. 10
John proceeded with his revelation to unfold the future course of events for his readers. We have already seen that God interrupted the sequence of the seven seal judgments with revelation concerning other events happening at approximately the same time. This took place between the sixth and seventh seals (ch. 7). Now He interrupted the sequence of trumpet judgments between the sixth and seventh trumpets with the insertion of other revelation (Revelation 10:1 to Revelation 11:14). [Note: See the chart "The Literary Structure of Revelation 6-18" at the end of my notes on chapter 7.] The emphasis shifts temporarily from the outpouring of God’s wrath on unbelievers to the consolation and encouragement of believers.
