YES TO ALL... in the sense these were SIGNS of what God was trying to say.

When are you going to get it? Your questions are like asking if Jesus ever turned into a lamb with seven eyes and horns yet. Rev 1:1 said the message of Revelation is in SIGNS. Like the Lamb.

(But we could say that a thousand times as Revelation has been read by billions, and people still won't listen to us any more than they accept rev 1:1 for what it says about SIGNS.)
