In this Chart series of events are placed in chronological order (like trains in railway time tables) according to their commencements, but, as in all history, sometimes overlap, and run parallel to each other. For example, in the first column the first trumpet began to sound before the second, but continued to sound after it; while, on the other hand, the fifth trumpet ceased to sound before the sixth (which is now sounding alone) began. In the second column, the separate histories symbolized by the first five signs, commencing in successive ages, are still running on parallel to each other, and the last two have not yet commenced.

Extracted from "A Commentary on the Revelation of St. John," by Sammuel Garratt, M.A., Hon. Canon of Norwich (William Hunt & Co., London.)

Just a note: I do not completely agree with the details of Mr. Garratt's chart above. The main difference between Garratt and the majority of premillennial historicists, since the Reformation, in their various interpretations of Revelation have to do with the heads of the beast. In the chart above, this can be seen in Garratt's understanding of the events following 1806 regarding the later heads of the beast. However, Mr. Garratt's work is extremely well researched, and his understanding of the Scriptures is remarkable. The perspective he brings to the study of Revelation, even if we disagree with a few details, is both scholarly and edifying.
