Me:
The angle said that John would be shown things that must
"come to pass" and I believe this refered to the viewing or
revelation of literal future events.  The angel told Mary
literal events that took place.  Joseph (Mary's husband)
was told of literal events in his dreams.
I gotta put kids to bed so I can't go into depth.

I think that the book is conbinations of prophecy, visions
and real events.
 
Rev. Blume"
If visions were never fulfilled literally before, and we
determine this one set of visions is different, 

Me:
Unnecessary.  Prophecies are always literally fulfilled. 
They sound strangely like discriptions of visions BTW.

Rev. Blume:

Me:
If this is part vision and part prophecy delivered by the
angel the method of interpretation would change.  Agreed?
