Prophetic visions
The prophets are shown things, and told to write down what they saw. Each plate below sets one of those sights out as the scenes it holds, in the order the text gives them: a sea and four beasts, then a court and an opened book; a woman and a dragon, then a war in heaven, then a flood the earth swallows. Daniel and Revelation are drawn chapter by chapter, every chapter of both; Isaiah, Ezekiel and the Twelve are drawn vision by vision, because those books are not visionary all the way through. Every scene opens the verses it rests on and quotes one of them. Nothing here is interpreted — the scenes say what the text says happens, and stop there.
