Have you heard of child abuse? I think what you did could well be called "chart abuse" .
I think you need to make your own chart, not revamping mine, because what you did trying to adopt my chart to your thinking - looks like you have two parallel universes going on. One for what you label "faithful" and another for what you label "unfaithful". The result being total conflicts and confusion.
Get a program like Paintshop Pro. Learn how to use it (will take some time) and make your own chart(s). And then start a new thread, of your Revelation chart, reflecting your view.
But here is a better question
In your chart you put 'false messianic age'. If someone calls himself the Jewish messiah, doesn't that qualify him as having 'called himself God'? therefore, the man of sin calls himself God before the breaking the covenant in the middle of 7 years.
From the Jewish perspective, their position is that the messiah is not God. From the Christian perspective, the messiah is God.
According to 2 Thessalonians 2
Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
The 'day of the Lord' arrives when the man of lawlessness calls himself God. (6th Seal/ 1st Trumpet)3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
The man who called himself the messiah confirms the covenant (Mosaic covenant, presumably). This covenant gets broken 3.5 years later. (from the start of the covenant is the 1260 days of the 2 witnesses).
