A Recapitulation – 

A reinforcement, a necessary theory in understanding the Apocalypse first introduced by Victorinus of Pettau.  It holds that the visions are not necessarily in chronological order and possibly a repetition of other visions.  Many interpretation errors are a result of assuming the chapters are in chronological order.

A Recapitulation – 

A commentary on the Apocalypse by Victorinus who introduced the theory of recapitulation.  Without it misinterpretation is likely.  The visions of John cannot be understood to be in chronological order.  Each vision should be considered independent of the others.  Some are a repetition of others.  Recapitulation is a necessary tool in understanding the Apocalypse.

A Vision Repeated – 

A problem with interpretation.  There is an unfounded assumption that the chapters of the Apocalypse are in chronological order which makes it impossible to understand.  Each vision does not necessarily depend on the previous or following chapter.  This was understood by Victorinus in the third century.  It is called Recapitulation.
