There's five keys to understanding Bible prophecy ~
1 - Use a straightforward and literal reading whenever possible.
2 - The Seals when described in chapter six, so early in the narrative, are a blend of what they are when first opened, and what they are when full grown.
3 - Four chapters are inserts.
4 - The occurrences in the Book of Revelation are consequences and results. (This leaves out things like planetary collision and alien visitors!)
5 - The Book of Revelation uses many images from the Old Testament, for instance, the 70 A.D. Christians knew "Babylon the Great" referred to the current empire over them.
