Summarizing

The idea is that Matthew and revelation can be matched up sequentially by contiguous sections of text. Matthew 1 through 25 matches up with Revelation 1 through 22. There's one small place in Matthew that does not match anything in Revelation, see if you can find it.

In some places whole chapters match up nicely for instance Matthew 10 and Revelation 7, but this is the exception rather than the rule. It would be nice if chapter 1 matched chapter 1 and 2 matched 2 and so forth, but they don't.

You can read these blog entries to piece it together or figure it out for yourself, you decide.

The two blogs cover the same subject matter but in different ways.

In Revelation the locusts are released out of a bottomless pit. The first structure ends with the religious leaders seeking to destroy Jesus. And in Revelation it ends with the word Apollyon. In Greek the word destroy and Apollyon are the same word. Second structure: Jesus heals all that come to him, but in Revelation four horses are released to slay a third of men. In Matthew Jesus doesn't quench a smoking flax, but in Revelation people ...
