Structure of Revelation 1:1-11:15 – The Timing of the Rapture

Charles Cooper continues his study of the timing of the rapture in the Book of Revelation. He argues that the location of the rapture in the Book of Revelation is notoriously difficult due to the absence of an explicit reference. Another complicating factor is the inability of scholars to agree on the structure of the book. One cannot place the rapture in the book if he or she does not understand the structure. Before we look at the PreWrath timing of the ethereal reunion of the saints with her Lord, we will examine the structure of the Revelation. Chapter 1 through chapter 11:15 is the first prophetic half of the book based on our understanding of Revelation 10.
