Here's my perspective on the book of Revelation regarding the chronology and the rapture.

1. The word "Church" isn't used after Revelation chapter 3 until chapter 22.

2. We do NOT see the word "Church" in any of the "tribulation verses".

3. However, we do see the Bride (wife) in chapter 19:7-8 (which is the Church) in heaven.

4. We see the rapture in Revelation 4:1, Revelation 12:5, and Revelation 18:4.

5. The Book of Revelation is not simply in chronological order... it's more like a three point sermon with a summary at the end. There are several "parenthetical chapters".
   Here are the three points of the sermon...
   Revelation 1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen(1), and the things which are(2), and the things which shall be hereafter(3);

The Vatican in Rome is NOT the “mystery Babylon” of Revelation 18, rather it is a remnant of the previous Babylon (Rome). This is why it is clearly so "Babylonian".

The "mystery Babylon" of Revelation 18 is America... the whore of Revelation 17 whose destruction is detailed in chapter 18.

I'll be doing another video on this topic soon covering all the common questions and arguments. ??
