Please consider that time statement in revelation 11:17. Which art to come? With wages. That alludes to I am coming quickly and my wages are with me in revelation 22:18.
Those words were inspired 2000 years ago. And Jesus has yet to arrive a second time. To make a concrete comparison. It would be like, saying. Jesus is coming quickly at the speed of light. But has to travel a great great distance and so even though. Is coming quickly has yet to arrive
In any event revelation 1117. And 18. Allude to the Second Coming. At the Great White throne judgment. Described in revelation 20. And reiterated in revelation 22. 18. Which have yet to occur
I think the most natural interpretation? Is to presume that revelation 11 looks far forward in time? To the Great White throne judgment on revelation 20 onwards. Then. The story jumps back and picks back up from revelation 12 on. Gives me the impression that Heaven considers everything from Christ onward to be Earth's final days. The end times plural.
The end of Rev 11 and the 7th trump is the same timeframe as the last part of Rev 19 and the first part of Rev 20 and the judgment and resurrection of the dead saints. It does not match up with the second day of resurrections and judgment found at the end of Rev 20.
