To bad the Hebrew roots people don’t understand that Revelation deals with the people of Israel as a nation after the ekklesia of Christ has been taken away. It’s called the time of Jacob’s trouble for a reason.

Revelation is certainly all about Him..

John has an interesting style that can be seen in a few place and it focuses on what He first Hears, and then what he Sees and even though they appear to be a contraat on one level, on another level, they are the same.

Rev 1:10- Hears a trumpet but sees
Rev 1:12- sees the Son of Man

Rev 5:5- Hears of a Lion but
Rev 5:6- sees a Lamb

Rev 17:1- Hears of a woman on many waters but
Rev 17:3- sees woman on a beast

Rev 21:9- Hears of the Bride but
Rev 21:10- Sees the City New Jerusalem

Rev 7:4- Hears a number, 144,000 sealed but
Rev 7:9- Sees a great multitude uncountable..

And it is that last contrast that I think goes to your comment..
It is those great multitudes that go ‘through’ the great tribulation.. (7:14)

What he hears is one thing and what he then sees is a physical contrast but a spiritual ‘match’..
And he uses that ‘contrasting’ a few times in the book of revelation..
