I have spent many many many hours studying Revelation & the rest of the Bible in order to figure out the order of the events of Revelation, and am convinced that the following order is completely or almost completely correct, for it harmonizes all parts of the Bible:
Outline of Daniel 9's 70th Week (the 7-year Great Tribulation)
The loosing of the seven seals of Rev. 6-8 overlaps the events of Rev. 8-19, just as the creation story of Genesis 2 explains in greater detail particular aspects of the creation story already told in Genesis 1! [The "four horsemen" devils corresponding to the first four seals are "sealed" at "the Great River Euphrates" (Rev. 9) just as Satan is later "sealed" in the abyss (Rev. 20)!]
FIRST 3 1/2 YEARS:
-Matthew 24:4-14, Luke 21:8-19, Hebrews 11 (the "great cloud of witnesses" [Heb. 12:1])
-foreshadowed by: Jesus' sending out of 70 witnesses "two & two" into all the cities "into which He was about to come" in Luke 10:1-16; the witnessing of Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1-38 prior to the armies led by Babylon the Great sieging Jerusalem in Jeremiah 39; the witnessing of Moses & Aaron during the plagues (the trumpet judgments) in Exodus 4-11
-The first four seals of Rev. 6: the four horsemen=the four angels of Rev. 9
-The seven trumpet judgments (Rev. 8-11) in that order
-144000 Christians sealed by the Holy Spirit (Eph.1) and having the "little book" of the Bible written in their minds (Rev. 10) like Ezekiel (Ezek.2) witness "two and two" (Luke 10:1) in the great cities of the world (ex. Rome, NYC, Paris, Athens, Jerusalem, Mecca, Tyre [Ezek. 26], etc.) which fit the description of Mystery Babylon during this entire period (Rev. 11) (see this link for proof that the 144K & the "two" witnesses are the same & are not at all or mostly not ethnic Jews, and for much more on Mystery Babylon's connections with the great cities of the world: http://www.primaryproofsofchristiani...witnesses.html )
SECOND 3 1/2 YEARS & the short period "immediately after the tribulation of those days" (Matt. 24:29):
-Matthew 24:15-31, Luke 21:20-27, foreshadowed by Exodus 12-40 in which Israel flees into the wilderness of sin to be "tried" (Rev. 2-3) & purified of sin
-Satan & his angels "fall as lightning from heaven" after 144000 ascend there, due to their testimony (Rev. 12, Luke 10:17-20 after the 70 witnesses return to Jesus with joy)
-the SEALED 144000 are now singing in heaven (Rev. 14) & praying to God to avenge them (Rev. 6: the martyrs of the 5th SEAL)...
-...while their brethren "lukewarm" Christians (Rev. 3:15) are on Earth being purified of sin in the "wilderness" (Rev. 12, Hebrews 12, Matt. 24:16-20) and are chased by the dragon Satan (represented by Pharaoh one of the many types of the Antichrist)
-Rev. 13: ...while the "king of the north" Antichrist is demanding that everyone worship him & his image or else die, like type of the Antichrist Nebuchadnezzar does in Daniel 3
-Rev. 15: THEN martyrs die in addition to the 144000 martyr witnesses pictured in Rev. 12 & 14
-Rev. 15-16, 6: THEN the 7 bowl judgments with the 6th seal being opened around the time of the pouring out of the 7th bowl
-Rev. 17-18, Jeremiah 50-51, Isaiah 13, Habakkuk 2: THEN the fall of Mystery Babylon the Great "the hammer of the nations" (Jer. 50:23) after it has made desolate the many great cities throughout the world also fitting the description of Mystery Babylon (Jer. 46-49, Ezekiel 25-31, Hab. 1-2) throughout the Tribulation period
-Rev. 19, 7 (between 6th & 7th seals): THEN the rapture of the rest of the saints accompanied by the resurrection of any martyred during the Tribulation (1 Thess. 4) (NOT BEFORE THE TRIBULATION!)
-Rev. 19, 8: THEN the 7th seal opened, when there is silence in heaven because the saints have left with Christ to destroy the Antichrist Gog & his armies! (Ezekiel 38-39)
notice that "the two lampstands" witnessing in Rev. 11 include a very small portion (literally? 144000 people) of "the seven lampstands which are the seven churches" (Rev. 1:20) representing the entire body of people in the world professing to be Christians in our age and any age in history including John's. To be of this select group, which will guarantee you see Jesus before the rest of the saints of the Tribulation, guarantee you a position as an "elder"/"king"/"priest" during the Millenium Kingdom, guarantee you don't fall into Hell like 2/3 of those tempted by the Devil in the wilderness will (Exodus 32: the golden calf, Zechariah 13:8), you must:
-"keep the Word of My endurance" (Rev. 3:10) by meditating on the law of the LORD "day & night" (Psalm 1)
-cry to God all day about the abominations committed by people who love the world rather than God with all their heart & mind in order to be sealed (Ezekiel 9, some Psalms)
-be a "virgin" "undefiled by women" (Revelation 14:4 "These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins"): Since all true Christians are called "virgins" for Christ the bridegroom including people who aren't literally virgins (Matt. 25), the word "virgin" here could refer to someone not "defiled" by sin (ex. Ezekiel 23: Israel described as "defiled by the Babylonians," and Babylon the Great is described as a "woman" in Rev. 17)
