GOVERNING THEMES
The load-bearing ideas.
Use these themes to trace repetition inside the book before following them across the canon.
THE BIBLE AS A CONNECTED LIBRARY
Revelation does not stand alone.
Revelation's imagery is densely woven from Genesis, Exodus, Psalms, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah, and the Gospels.
The book calls itself apocalypse, prophecy, and letter; responsible visualization honors all three genres.
Millennium, seals, trumpets, bowls, Israel, and timing receive competing interpretations that must be labeled rather than declared by diagram alone.
