This dissertation will examine the literary character of the book of Revelation, focusing on its plot. It will be argued that Rev 19:11-16 is the narrative climax of the book, the turning point in the narrative where the rising tension and anticipation finally shift and move towards resolution and conclusion. Revelation establishes two central problems in Rev 1:1-19:10 that build tension and anticipation in the narrative: (1) God has enemies who oppose him and his people and (2) God's people are oppressed. Two solutions are held forth to address these issues: God will judge his enemies and he will deliver his people. Throughout the narrative, the return of Christ at the Day of the Lord is looked forward to as the event that will bring about the resolution of these problems. Revelation 19:17-22:9 then resolves the anticipation as it describes the fullness of God's judgment and salvation, ultimately resulting in God creating the new heavens and earth, removing sin, death, and pain, and dwelling with his people forever. Standing between these sections, Rev 19:11-16 narrates the event that leads from anticipation to resolution, the glorious return of Jesus Christ. It is at this climactic moment that readers of Revelation make the transition from expectation to realization.Chapter 1 will introduce the thesis, that Rev 19:11-16 is the narrative climax of the book of Revelation, and present exegetical and theological presuppositions that underlie the work. A survey of recent research will examine other narrative analyses of the book of Revelation, with a particular view towards authors who address the plot of the Apocalypse. The results will show that many works give too little space to defending the use of narrative tools for studying Revelation. Additionally, some works suffer from carefully defining the terms they use, which at times leads to confusion in how they analyze the Apocalypse's plot. Chapter 2 will seek to address a number of these problems by setting out clear definitions of important terms, providing an argument for why it is appropriate to study Revelation using narrative analysis, discussing the way plots function and how they can be analyzed, and then providing an overview of how plot will be examined in this work. Finally, Chapter 2 will also briefly discuss other narrative features other than plot, such as character, setting, point of view, imagery, the narrator, and the audience, and then provide a procedural overview describing how the analysis of Revelation will be conducted in this dissertation.Chapters 3-6 will examine the plot of Revelation. Because plot is inseparable from other narrative elements, characterization, setting, and point of view will also be examined in order to show how they help the plot build tension and bring resolution. The focus of each chapter, however, will be to show how Revelation's plot builds anticipation and brings resolution, with Rev 19:11-16 as the turning point. Chapter 3 will cover Revelation 1-3; Chapter 4 will address Rev 4:1-11:19; Chapter 5 will examine Rev 11:19-19:10; and Chapter 6 will detail Rev 19:11-22:21. Chapter 7 will serve as a conclusion to the dissertation. It will summarize the argument and demonstrate how this understanding of Revelation provides a coherent reading of the work. Two theological implications of the narrative will be addressed. First, Revelation is Christ-centered and must be read as both a present- and future-oriented work. Second, in distinction to non-violent readings, Revelation affirms that God will one day pour out his wrath on his enemies. Finally, it will be suggested that the narrative reading of Revelation can be used to address the ongoing questions regarding Revelation's structure.
