a recapitulation 

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.
