Keys to understanding the divisions of Revelation
The position of John at the time of the writing
It is by far more important to understand the when of the writings and not the where.
If a person does not get this key verse down the rest of the Book has no relevance

Keys to understanding the divisions of Revelation
In order to have 3 divisions in the book there must be 2 place that create those divisions, and make a transition to the next point of the outline.
These 2 place are seen when heaven
opens.

Nimrod Commentary After listing one name after the other in the midst of this genealogy in Genesis10, you come to Nimrod, all of a sudden God stops to give you a commentary on him. (Gen.10:8-10)
The same thing happens in the genealogy in I Chr 1:10
The point: There is something God wants us to see about this man.

Nimrod’s Kingdom (Gen 10:10) And the beginning of his
KINGDOM was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
This is the 1st mention of a “kingdom” in all the Bible. In which we find a king who’s name means rebellion, who is seeking to establish a world empire
The Theme of the bible is a battle over a kingdom
Satan’s pursuit of a kingdom that he lost (Ezk.28)
God’s pursuit to place his Son on the throne, on this Earth

The Worship at the Tower (Gen. 11:1-4) Ecumenical Worship
To establish a world empire Nimrod would need to unify the people, both commercially and religiously.
(Gen 11:4) …let us build us a city and a tower…
The City would be the commercial symbol
The Tower would be the religious symbol
They are unified in their language They are unified in the speech They are unified in Leadership

Nimrod’s Wife She was Semiramis (the First), the high
priestess of Babel religion.
When Nimrod died, the people of Babylon greatly mourned his death. Legend says that his body was cut into pieces, burnt, and sent to various areas.Ralph Edward Woodraw, Babylon Mystery Religion
After Nimrod’s death, Semiramis claimed that he was now the sun god, and that she had conceived by a sun beam, having known no man.
She gives birth to a son whose name was Tammuz, who supposedly Nimrod, come back to life.

Nimrod’s Wife In this system, not only was the son
worshipped, but so was the mother.
That is why in all ancient religions, they all have as part of their worship a mother and child.
Because God scattered the people all over the earth. (Gen.11:8)

Constantine supposedly has a
vision in the sky of a cross, and hears a voice saying “In hoc signo vinces” or in this sign you will conquer. He says the sign of the cross that he saw was made up of the 1st two letters of the name “Christ” • The Greek “CHI” which looks like our letter “X”• The Greek “RHO” which is like our letter “P”

that the “church” was being flooded with Paganism.

Many churchgoers will, during a forty day period prior to Easter Sunday, abstain - give up - something that is dear to them. It may be chocolate bars, butter, a certain T.V. program, or beer or potato chips. Some may smoke only one cigarette a day instead of a pack. They do this during a period called LENT.
Tammuz died at the age of 40 from a hunting accident. He was gored to death by a wild boar. After Tammuz’s death, Semiramis wept bitterly for him 40 days one day for every year of his life. Then he was supposedly resurrected.
A new tradition began in which each year all the people would weep for 40 days for Tammuz– one day for each year of his life. This was to be in honor of his coming forth out of the earth, therefore the crops would come for to new life.
