Siew seeks to examine the events that will unfold within the
three-and-a-half years before the dawn of the kingdom of God on
earth. He argues that John composed the textual unit of Revelation
11:1-14:5 as a coherent and unified literary unit structured in a
macrochiasm. He pays special attention to the fusion of form and
content and seeks to elucidate how the concentric and chiastic
pattern informs the meaning of the literary units within 11:1-14:5,
and proposes that the text of 11:1-14:5 is best analyzed using
Hebraic literary conventions, devices, and compositional techniques
such as chiasm, parallelism, parataxis, and structural parallelism.
The macro-chiastic pattern provides the literary-structural
framework for John to portray that the events of the last
three-and-a-half years unfold on earth as a result of what
transpires in heaven. Specifically, the war in heaven between
Michael and the dragon has earthly ramifications. The outcome of
the heavenly war where Satan is defeated and thrown out of heaven
to earth results in the war on earth between the two beasts of
Revelation 13 and the two witnesses of Revelation 11. The narrative
of the war in heaven (12:7-12) is seen as the pivot of the
macro-chiastic structure. Siew pays close attention to the
time-period of the three-and-a-half years as a temporal and
structural marker which functions to unite the various units in
11:1-14:5 into a coherent and integral whole. The events of the
last days will be centred in Jerusalem. Volume 283 in the Journal
for the Study of the New Testament Supplement series.
