Yes — I can lay this out clearly for you. The Book of Revelation (last book of the New Testament) presents its visions in a symbolic and sequential way. Below is a structured list of the major future predictions, given in the general order they appear in the text. (I’ll simplify the symbolism while keeping it accurate to the text.)

Predictions in Revelation (in order of appearance)
1. Letters to the Seven Churches (Rev. 2–3)
• Warnings, encouragements, and promises to the early Christian communities (Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea).
2. Vision of the Throne in Heaven (Rev. 4–5)
• God’s throne revealed; the Lamb (Christ) found worthy to open the sealed scroll of future events.
3. The Seven Seals (Rev. 6–8:1)
• Seal 1: White horse – conquest.
• Seal 2: Red horse – war.
• Seal 3: Black horse – famine.
• Seal 4: Pale horse – death.
• Seal 5: Cry of the martyrs.
• Seal 6: Cosmic disturbances (earthquake, darkened sun, falling stars).
• Seal 7: Silence in heaven, leading to the seven trumpets.
4. The Seven Trumpets (Rev. 8–11)

• Trumpet 6 (Second Woe): Four angels release an army of 200 million, killing a third of mankind.
• Trumpet 7 (Third Woe): Kingdom of the world becomes the Kingdom of Christ; final judgment approaches.
5. The Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:3–13)
• Two prophets testify in Jerusalem, are killed, then resurrected and ascend to heaven.
