You use the word “seem” quite a lot in your writings. Can you give a definition of the word, as you mean it to mean, in your Interpretation of the book Revelation.
Especially as this word can and has caused some uncertainty in the past.
Here are a few definitions, taken from the Internet:
THE VERB “ SEEM” (USED WITHOUT OBJECT)
1. to appear to be, feel, do, etc.:
Eg. She seems better this morning. (appearance)
2. to appear to one's own senses, mind, observation, judgment, etc.:
Eg. It seems to me that someone is calling. (sensing)
3. to appear to exist:
Eg. There seems no need to go now.
4. to appear to be true, probable, or evident:
Eg. It seems likely to rain.
5. to give the outward appearance of being or to pretend to be.
Eg. He seems friendly because he wants you to like him.
Or
What I believe you to mean -“The following is very likely from the evidence at hand”.
Eg. Quote from this post : Using “seem” twice.
“Because the repetition of words in Revelation seem to link meaning it seems that “half an hour”, “altar” and “short season” relate to 2004 to 2016”.
