REVELATION
Timeline
A visualization of the whole book of Revelation. A (partial-preterist) side-by-side chart of its prophecies and their first-century fulfillments, from Jesus' birth to the Bar Kokhba Revolt (4 BC-AD 136). A map of Revelation's structure and main themes. An untangling of its trickiest chronological controversies.
The culmination of all Dr. Phil Kayser's Revelation studies, condensed into one 30"x40" chart that makes Revelation make sense.

BETTER THAN A BOOK FOR:
- Visualizing Revelation's chiastic structure, to help you grasp the flow of the entire book at once
- Showing Revelation's prophecies and their historically-documented fulfillments side-by-side, to help you wrap your head around the entire progression of the book, from Jesus' birth in 4 BC, to the scattering of Israel in 136 AD in the Bar Kokhba Revolt.
- Getting a quick (but surprisingly deep) overview of Revelation's story arc, themes, history, and still-to-come promises (in about 130 hours less than it takes to listen to Dr. Kayser's Revelation sermon series)
- Daily visual reminders of Jesus' victory over the dragon and false religious and political saviors, and the other powerful themes of Revelation
- Introducing your children to Revelation's story and main lessons
WHAT MAKES THIS TIMELINE SPECIAL
BUILT ON INTERNAL EVIDENCES
Rather than starting with history, Dr. Kayser uses internal evidences — Revelation's chiastic structure, the interpretive keys in the first chapter, and cross-dating between all the events prophesied in Zechariah, Daniel, Matthew, Luke, and Isaiah — to pinpoint the timing of events such as the destruction of the temple, the beginning and end of the Roman-Jewish war, the Great Tribulation, the actions of the sea beast and land beast, the visible appearing of Christ in the sky — and then discovered historical documentation of all these things
INFORMED BY THE BOOK'S CHIASTIC STRUCTURE
One reason Revelation mystifies so many is because of its unfamiliar Hebrew structure. It's constructed as a chiasm (a mirror-like ABCDEFGFEDCBA pattern that works inward to a core theme and then back outward), meaning the book's parallel sections help interpret each other, while the heart of the chiasm reveals the main message. Understanding the structure unlocks everything, and being able to visually see the structure while reading the themes of Revelation and the historical events fulfilled makes it all click together.
REINFORCED WITH DEEP HISTORICAL RESEARCH
Dr. Kayser's deep digging into 1st-century archeology, seismology, and astronomy turned up historical records of precise fulfillments of Revelation's prophesies —
...For instance, discovering that multiple ancient historians actually recorded a visible appearing of Jesus in the sky in AD 66, blood running up to the horse's bridles during the Bar Kokhba Revolt in AD 135, and an earthquake in AD 66 that really did move mountains and islands.

He's a pastor, author, and counselor with a focus on detailed biblical scholarship and the international church. He's passionate about seeing Scripture's comprehensive blueprints applied to business, art, education, science, economics, marketing, health, counseling, and every other area of life.

Phil was raised in Ethiopia, the son of missionary parents who spent 30 years in the field with SIM International, and saw the Word of God transform every area of Ethiopian pagan culture. Ever since, he's had a passion for seeing the transformational gospel and God's biblical blueprints for life taken to the ends of the earth.
