Bare in mind now I am not an preterist,,, but any way you see the positions in eschatology all contend it is future,,,yet they differ on it's date of writing.
Right, when I see this has happened then I’ll begin to think of becoming a Preterist…

Revelation 6:14 NKJV
[14] Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

It was MORE than a movie - he interacted with angels and one elder! He ate the book and measured the temple!
Ot

“Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel. So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.

And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭3:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

New Testament

“And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book.

And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭10:8-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

revelations proper title is “ the apocalypse of Jesus Christ “ it is an “uncovering “ of prophecy already written. The ot was sent to only israel the new was sent to all nations.

the city of new Jerusalem

“I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.”
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭2:1-2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

the temple and people

“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭11:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

ot

“In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.

And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭40:2-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Nt

“And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

prophecy all goes together and revelation uncovers it and sets it in order not chronological Order but order so it’s understood

In Eze. 3:14, as soon as Ezekiel was taken by the Spirit, he went "in bitterness." This is also possibly a reference of Num. 5:11-31 where an unfaithful wife drinks bitter water from the priest and brings a curse:

"And he shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter her to become bitter." (Num. 8:24)

amen that’s all was getting at there are many connections and references in the law and prophets that are revealed in the book of revelation. They are sort of a foundation of things later revealed

“And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭24:10‬ ‭KJV‬

“Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:

Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the Lord.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:17-19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“For thus saith the Lord God; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭14:21‬ ‭

In revelation we see the four horsemen from the first four seals the first three and then we see each has power over a fourth of the earth

“And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭6:7-8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

each of the first four represents one of those judgements he was pronouncing in the ot beginning in Moses song to israel and proceeding through the prophets and then revealed in revelation and extended to all the world beginning with the devastation of Jerusalem.

when you get to the fifth seal it changes from the four horsemen which represent the four judgements and have other roots in Zechariah

It all works together to give us a fuller understanding and proper interpretation of revelation is all I was meaning of we overlay ll of those connections like what your talking about there it gives a comprehensive view of the state of creation since Christ was taken into heaven and lasting until he returns past present and future.
