Daniel 12:1-2 (and its also post trib or at the end of trib) A testimony thats true and speaks of the distant future. (At the time it was given to man)
Rev was given to the Son by the Father
Rev 20 also speaks of the same event but in greater detail and focus and does not take away from a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous and their final outcome.
Very Specific time period given and very specific in that the rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1000 years ended.
Then I saw thrones, and those seated on them were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus[
a]and for the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him a thousand years.
And for those left alive on earth (those in Christ) when the Lord returns:
According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the
dead in Christ will rise first.
17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever
I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep,
but we will all be changed— 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
So its clear to me those who come back with the Lord (2nd coming) already have their new bodies and those who are in christ on the earth on that day are caught up and clothed with their new bodies as well.
7th trumpet
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever."
However the beast in in the world at the sounding of the 5th trump. But Rev 11 is a sign that can't be stopped by any power until it has been completed. (1260 days) A final last warning from God, (and a powerful one as these two witnesses who were refused burial are raised to life), to mankind before the great tribulation. If anyone in those days has even a thread of faith and love for God they will believe Gods testimony. So I state again Rev 11 is a sign that can't be mistaken. The beast that overpowers the two who serve the Lord of all the earth is destroyed by Jesus's not by human power. A coming of the Lord. Rev 16:15
What about the saints in that time period?
A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand,
10they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.
11And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”
12This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.
