And to clarify that statement, I am not saying the events are not historical, but that they do not cover the Apostolic ground over again.

Revelation has seven sections, following the feasts. Each of these sections is also sevenfold. There is recapitulation, but it is the Word of the risen Christ in Revelation 1 spreading out like soundwaves, shockwaves, in ever-increasing circles. It begins in the sanctuary (Rev 1), cuts through the New Covenant hierarchy in the Holy Place (Rev 2-3), cleanses the Altar as firstfruits Lamb (Rev 4-5), it opens the Law (the Seals) and releases the gospel horsemen. Once Israel has heard the Law, the Trumpets begin. Jerusalem, the great city, is about to fall. Once this is over (ch. 19), the conquest begins in earnest. Christ and the completed church ride through the Land into the World to set the captives free, which involved binding the strong man every step of the way.
