The Law of Anticipation Theory

These actions (visions) are anticipated in one chapter and revealed or paralleled in a following chapter:

Rev. chapter 13 (the 2 Beasts) is anticipated in:	Chapter 11:1-13 (the 2 witnesses)
Rev. chapter 17-19 (Babylon the great prostitute) is anticipated in:	Chapter 14:8 (fallen Babylon)
Rev. chapter 16 (the 7 cups of wrath) is anticipated in:	Chapter 14: 10 (the cup of retribution)
Rev. chapter 19:17-21 (defeat of the Beast) is anticipated in:	Chapter 16:12-14 (Beast's forces preparing for war)
Rev. chapters 21-22 (the New Jerusalem) anticipated in:	Chapter 19:7-9 (the reign of the Christ)

Chapter 14:6-20 is divided into 7 sections, which is a vision of the glorified Christ who is flanked on each side by 3 angels. This is the transition between the Trumpet-visions, which were the proclamations of judgment, and the Chalice-visions, which are the applications of God's judgment.
