I invite you to focus for a while on the 10 plagues of Egypt to see the same pattern in the Book of Revelation. Here, I will just give you some steps.
As you know, the 10 plagues have been sent from God to Egypt in order to free the People of God. The same way, the true People of God will be taken in the End Times, but at the world scale.
What are those TEN PLAGUES?
[

What do we get? (I let you fill the blank before I complete the
'picture').
1. First seal made of
BLOOD (CROWN virus/vaccine).
2. Second seal made of
FROGS (War against the
shadow army).
3.
4. Fourth seal made of
WILD ANIMALS.
5. Fourth seal made of
PESTILENCE.
6. First Trumpet / Bowl made of
BOILS.
7. First Trumpet / Bowl made of
HAIL and FIRE.
8. Fifth Trumpet / Bowl made of
LOCUSTS.
9. Fifth Trumpet / Bowl made of
DARKNESS.
10.Sixth Trumpet / Bowl made of
DEATH.
In the wikipedia link above, we can read this:
'It appears that originally there were only seven (which included the tenth), to which were added the third, sixth, and ninth, bringing the count to ten'.It happens that the third is blank in the Revelation's correspondences, that the sixth is the first Trumpet/Bowl like the seventh, and that the ninth is the fifth Trumpet/Bowl like the eighth.
When reorganized, we actually get TWO SETS:
A -
God's decisions of the first sealed scrolls (the third seal is the salvation of the 144,000), the Four Horsemen's, in the Two Witnesses' period:
1. First seal:
BLOOD.2. Second seal:
FROGS.3. Fourth seal:
WILD ANIMALS / PESTILENCE. (leading to famine).
(then come the antichrist, then the salvation of the Great Multitude).
B-
God's powers of the 7th seal (the first four Trumpets/Bowls are due to the same celestial body; the first two woes are related to the New Jerusalem).
4. First Trumpet/Bowl:
BOILS / HAIL & FIRE.5. Fifth Trumpet/Bowl:
LOCUSTS / DARKNESS.6. Sixth Trumpet/Bowl:
DEATH.(then comes the 7th Trumpet/Bowl, the third woe, aka the final pole shift).
So, like the plagues of Egypt, the purpose of which was to free the FIRST People of God, their correspondences in the Revelation aim at saving the FINAL People of God.
In both case, these plagues target the Leaders (
'Pharaoh' and the
'officials', as stated by the related verses), then the whole
'Egypt'/world, after the selection/salvation of the chosen ones.
Remember that, unlike the second set where God is fully responsible, the first set is due to God letting things happen (the virus/vax is manmade; the shadow army is allowed to come up; the third world war is made possible).
