NOTE: I have written up a detailed account, complete with pictures, on my VISION page how the apostle John has the Earth hosting a Pangaea during the bowls.

注意：我在我的愿景页面上写了一个详细的描述，并附有图片，描述了使徒约翰如何在大碗期间让地球迎来盘古大陆。

1. Distinguish between the literal from the figurative.

Based on the translation of the ESV, regarding imagery and figurative language, the word “like” is employed 62 times and the word “as” is employed 12 times.  This means that the product of the figurative language is not literal, but figurative.  It’s simply using concepts to describe the situation.  The concept of “blood” appears in the second and third bowls.  (See Revelation 16:3-4.)  In the second bowl, blood is figurative, as in “. . . it became like the blood of a corpse (ESV, Revelation 16:3)”, and in the third bowl, blood is literal, as in “. . . and they became blood (Revelation 16:4)”.  Distinguishing between the literal and the figurative will greatly help the audience understand the meaning and purpose of various judgments.

2. Distinguish between the science from the supernatural.

There are huge differences between scientific judgments and supernatural judgments in the Apocalypse.  Viruses do not know how to distinguish between the rich, the powerful, the poor or less influential.  In another words, viruses do not discriminate.  However, in the first bowl (Revelation 16:2), a painful sore came upon all who took the mark of the beast.  You cannot say all across the globe had taken the mark of the beast.  Neither can you say that all those who did not take the mark of the beast will have died because there will be youngsters alive, say aged 1 or 3 who won’t understand the difference between right and wrong.  Further Revelation 18:4 addresses the saved.  This painful sore will have supernatural elements to it.  For anyone who wants to argue that in the first bowl, all across the globe will be lost, there are other completely supernatural events like the fifth trumpet in Revelation 9:1-11, where those who do not have the seal of God are stung by locust like creatures.  In the second bowl (Revelation 16:3), all living creatures in the oceans died.  This is pure science with no added element of the supernatural.  Further, in the fourth seal, one quarter of the earth’s population dies without anything said regarding the supernatural.  That is simply science.

3. Distinguish between scenes in heaven from scenes on Earth.

4. Distinguish between events on the timeline in the Apocalypse from events not clearly on the timeline in the Apocalypse.

What opens up the Apocalypse so easily is that there is a timeline, whereas there is not a clear timeline in the book of Daniel.  The seals come before the trumpets, and the bowls take place after the trumpets and sickles.  Even though the sixth seal covers the most time of any of the judgments, there are aspects of the sixth seal that would take place after the fifth seal.  For the most part, the events are very orderly.  However, Revelation 12 brings in some new concepts without a clear marker on the timeline.  So when teaching through Revelation 12, you would want to be careful what you do with the events in Revelation 12 as it pertains to the timeline.

1. 区分字面和比喻。

根据英文标准版（圣经）的翻译，关于形象化和比喻性语言，“像”一词使用了62次，“如同”一词使用了12次。这意味着比喻性语言的产物不是字面的，而是比喻性的。它只是用概念来描述情况。“血”的概念出现在第二碗和第三碗中。（参考启 16:3-4。）在第二碗中，血是比喻性的，如“…好像死人的血（启 16:3）”，在第三碗中，血是字面的，如“…就变成血了（启 16:4）”。区分字面和比喻将极大地帮助观众理解各种审判的含义和目的。

2. 区分科学和超自然。

在启示录中，科学判断和超自然判断之间存在巨大差异。病毒不知道如何区分富人、权贵、穷人或影响力较小的人。换句话说，病毒不会歧视。然而，在第一个碗里（启 16:2），所有接受兽印的人身上都出现了痛苦的疮。你不能说全世界的人都接受了兽印。你也不能说所有没有接受兽印的人都会死，因为还会有年轻人活着，比如 1 岁或 3 岁的人，他们不明白是非对错。启示录 18:4 进一步提到了得救的人。这个痛苦的疮会有超自然的元素。对于那些想争辩说在第一碗中全世界都会灭亡的人来说，还有其他完全超自然的事件，比如启示录 9:1-11 中的第五号，那些没有上帝印记的人会被蝗虫般的生物蜇伤。在第二碗（启示录 16:3）中，海洋中的所有生物都死了。这是纯粹的科学，没有添加任何超自然元素。此外，在第四印中，地球上四分之一的人口死亡，没有任何关于超自然现象的说法。那只是科学。

3. 区分天上的场景和地球上的场景。

4. 区分启示录中时间线上的事件和启示录中时间线上不清楚的事件。

如此轻易地打开启示录的原因是它有一条时间线，而但以理书中没有明确的时间线。印在号角之前，碗在号角和镰刀之后。尽管第六印涵盖了所有审判中时间最长的一次，但第六印的某些方面发生在第五印之后。在大多数情况下，事件是非常有序的。然而，启示录第 12 章引入了一些新概念，但没有在时间线上做出明确的标记。因此，当教授启示录第 12 章时，你要小心处理启示录第 12 章中与时间线有关的事件。

The structure of the Apocalypse needs to revolve around the Woes.  Due to the use of the first woe surfacing only in the time of the fifth trumpet, it proves that the woes are time periods, not judgments.  The fifth trumpet is just that, the fifth trumpet.  Yet the first woe takes place at the exact same time, leaving zero wiggle room for anything else to take place, proving the woes are time periods, not judgments.  So you have the pre-Woe era, Woe One, Woe Two, Woe Three, and the post-Woe eras.

启示录的结构需要围绕灾祸展开。由于第一个灾祸只在第五号时出现，这证明灾祸是时期，而不是审判。第五号就是第五号。然而，第一个灾祸发生的时间恰好是同一时间，没有给其他任何事情留下任何回旋余地，证明灾祸是时期，而不是审判。所以你有灾祸前时代、第一个灾祸、第二个灾祸、第三个灾祸和灾祸后时代。
