2 of the 7 "Ends of The World", in Revelation, when Jesus Returns, Once to Judge.

The Two HALVES of REVELATION are Distinct
in The Kind of Detail, they Reveal.
...
In the First Half of Revelation
Chapters 1-11 covers

( The first section with

"Christ in the Midst of the Lamp-stands"
in REVELATION 1:1 – 3:22
&
The second section concerning
"The Vision of Heaven
and the Seals"
in REVELATION 4:1 – 7:17
&
The third section concerning
"The Seven Trumpets"
in REVELATION 8:1 – 11:19 )
...
The First Three VISIONS ,in 3 of the 7 Sections
each
Contain Announcements and Introductions
to The Final Judgment.
...
In the First VISION of The End of The World is

"Jesus Christ in the Midst of the Lamp-stands"
in REVELATION 1:1 – 3:22,
we have only a mere mention
of Coming Judgment
without any description,
in REVELATION 1:7;
...

“Behold, He comes with clouds;
and every eye will see Him
and
they also which Pierced Him:
and all kindreds of the Earth
will wail because of Him.
Even so, Amen.”


In the Second VISION of The End of The World is
concerning
"The Vision of Heaven and the Seals"
in REVELATION 4:1 - 7:17,
Final Judgment
is not merely mentioned,
it is now Definitely Introduced, and we see
The HORROR of
The FINAL JUDGMENT,
but again there is no description,
in these verses,
in REVELATION 6:12-17;

“And I beheld,
when He
had Opened The Sixth Seal
and lo,
there was A Great Earthquake;
and The Sun became black
as sackcloth of hair
and
The Moon became as blood;

“And the Stars of Heaven
fell to The Earth,
even as a fig tree
casts her untimely figs,
when she is shaken
of a mighty wind,

“And the Heaven
Departed as a scroll
when it is rolled together;
and
every mountain and island
were Moved out of their places.

“And
the kings of the Earth
and
the great men
and
the rich men
and
the chief captains
and
the mighty men
and
every bondman
and
every free man,
hid themselves in the dens
and in the rocks of the mountains;

“And said
to the mountains and rocks,
Fall on us and
hide us from The Face of Him
that Sits on The Throne
and
from The Wrath of The Lamb;

“Because,
The Great Day of His Wrath
has Come;
and
who will be able to stand ?”


And, we also get a brief Introduction
to the Eternal State of the Saints,
after The Final Judgment of the lost
in this Second Section of Seven
in REVELATION 7:9-17;
...
"After this I looked,
and, lo, a great multitude,
which no man could number,
of all nations, and kindreds,
and people, and tongues,
stood before the Throne,
and
before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes,
and palms in their hands;
...
10 "And cried with a loud voice,
saying,
Salvation to our God
Who Sits on the Throne,
and
to the Lamb.
...
11 "And all the angels
stood around the Throne,
and
around the elders
and
the four beasts,
and
fell before the throne
on their faces,
and
worshiped God,
...
12 "Saying, Amen:
Blessing, and Glory,
and Wisdom, and Thanksgiving,
and Honour, and Power,
and Might,
be to our God
Forever and Ever. Amen."
...
13 "And one of the elders answered,
saying to me,
What are these
which are arrayed in white robes?
and from where did they come?
...
14 "And I said to him,
Sir, you know.
And he said to me,
These are they which came out
of Great Tribulation,
and have Washed their robes,
and
Made them White
in the Blood of the Lamb.
...
15 "Therefore they are
before the Throne of God,
and Serve Him Day and Night
in His Temple:
...
"and He that Sits on the Throne
Will Live Among them.
...
16 "They Will Hunger No More,
neither Thirst Any More;
neither Will the Sun light on them,
nor any heat.
...
17 "Because, the Lamb
which is in
The Midst of the Throne
Will Feed them,
and Will Lead them
to Living Fountains of Waters:
...
"and God Will
Wipe Away All Tears
from their eyes."
