Unfortunately I doubt there will be much response to this, because they love them some doom porn.

As to the nature of the Johns Revelation, the intro says multiple times that it is about things that must shortly come to pass.
Now while there may have been some speaking of the actual events that took place in Jerusalem, this book along with the entire bible is the testimony of Jesus, which is the spirit of prophecy according to RevJohn. This is where so many get lost thinking prophecy is a future external literal thing. But that is not the case, as Jesus was using the temple as an illustration about his body, and events that take place inside.
I get you don't see it that way, and thats cool.

The Apocalypse is a plan or a series of paradigms or eras within the church, science and politics. And now we have come to the part when God's wrath is to be poured out in the shape of seven vials.

Please help me to discover the "meaning" in that it was exactly Seven Jewish Sabbath years between the 70 AD Jewish Diaspora out of Israel, and the 64 AD Great Christian Holocaust persecutions by the Romans ?

To me this is obviously a perfect and a direct communication from God, who orders all things perfectly according to God's plans.
But what exactly does this exact and precision communication from God mean ?
