Recapitulation is a theory developed to improve our understanding of the Apocalypse. Victorinus of Pettau in the third century was the first to show the same events were being repeated in different visions. Therefore the sequence of chapters cannot be considered necessarily in chronological order. Most commentaries on the Apocalypse have adopted this theory. It has also been described as parallelism

see what augustine had to say about this

Why would we have to assume that?

You can add spaces and punctuation without breaking it into chapters and verses. Scripture existed and was used without chapter and verse for over a millenium.

I think any of the field would probably have been a shoo-in. Unfortunately we ended up with one of the only ones who has a real shot at losing it.

the visions contained in the apocalypse are not in chronological order
-
the biggest misunderstanding is
-Jesus comes in chapter 19
-Jesus reigns in chapter 20
-
it doesn't say Jesus will reign
it does say they will reign with Christ

whatever you think happens is chapter 19 should not determine what you think happens in chapter 20
-
they are separate visions
-and-
must be evaluated separately
