I'm done with the first half of the text (book, scroll, whatever), and it is much simpler than I ever thought. With more practice I this time think avoided conspiracy-theories and whatnot.
Paying attention to ALL the details, and drawing stuff down helped too.
So, the first part is an intro. Gawd appear to John of Pathmos, and sliders-stargtes him to Heavens, after making him write seven letters. Why these letters are important, and are in the middle of this text and not are their own separate text? Who knows! Who cares!
This takes like 4 chapters by the way, and at least 2 more exclisively describes Heaven's structure, with bits and pieces also included later, partly being in prophetic parts. Less stuff to worry about decyphering for us. But it's fun to draw all of Heaven down, it gives a funny picture, and helps understanding the way of thinking of the writer(s).
The next part is the Seven Seals of the Lamb. This part has no identifiable details, and becomes uneventful during the end, and things get interrupted actualy, the Grand Design gets re-engineered with some "angel" being busy stamping the "jews" (the chosen nation system's symbolism), and gets interrupted by the arriving christians. I think here is a leaving behind the Old Covenant Rules stuff is goiung on.
The final part of the first half of the book (Revelations changes structure after 11 chapters from the 22) is more generalised BS, only the state of the world is not its quarter, but its third is in turmoil.
The 5th and 6th trumpeting has some possible leads of identification of events, but it'd only lead to when the writer lived, so who realy cares when your read the 7th trumpeting, which is also the 3rd woe. Not sure why the last 3 trumpeting gets elevated this way. Likely because they are less generic, and actualy told something of the current state of that time to the audience.
The main point is, the 7th trumpeting is your familiar World Domination Theocratic Dictatorship empty political promise.
To sum things up, half of John of Pthmos' Revelations needs absolutely no attention. Well, maybe some hardocre religious historian could identify the two prophet of the 6th trumpeting - or maybe not, because they were irrelevant actualy aside from the text's close proximity.
