Repetition Shows God's Faithfulness

  • Repetition in Revelation (recapitulation) reinforces God's faithfulness across generations.
  • The throne image repeats to remind readers that God's reign offers the book's core encouragement.
ADVICE

Start By Knowing, Then Cross-Reference

  • First ask, "Do I know what I just read?" by summarizing concrete details and sketching scenes.
  • Then ask where similar images appear elsewhere in Scripture to unlock meaning.
