No current consensus on the structure of the Apocalypse of John exists. This study demonstrates that the judgment section of the Apocalypse (Rev. 4-19) is structured, in part, by the seventieth week of Daniel 9:27. The synoptic eschatological discourses of Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 provide the historical link between Daniel 9:27 and the Apocalypse. Chapters correlate common apocalyptic features among the texts, produce a framework by which the judgment section of Apocalypse is structured, and critique current proposals.
