I have no idea the theology behind pre-mill. All I know is that there is the Lord's Day, and it starts at the Second Coming. Except the final harvest is the end of the church, and there is overlap like the first coming. Jesus Christ spent about 3.5 years between the thing we call the OT and the Cross. The Second Coming is a repeat of the first coming, except between the time of the earthly church and the Lord's Day.Maybe you could outline the differences between your view and Premil?
The rest is just common sense, based on Scriptural truth. Adam's sin and death ends at the 7th Trumpet. Satan as the accuser of the brethren night and day ends at the 7th Trumpet. The 7th Trumpet is the 8 day week at the end of the Lamb's time on earth, like the 8 day week from Palm Sunday to the Resurrection was the triumph end of the Lamb's first coming.
If you read the account of Joshua and Jericho, it was also an 8 day event marking the "end of the Nations" and the setting up of Israel. The book of Revelation parallels the time of the Nations, Israel, and the church except in reverse order. Jesus claims the first shall be last and the last will be first. The church came last, and will leave first (the Seals). Then the sheep of Israel (the Trumpets). Then the wheat of the Nations (the Thunders). This is the final harvest Jesus explained in parable form at the first Coming.
The Second Coming is the end of all things related to Adam. How long and when, NO ONE KNOWS. It is very soon though. Claiming it ends in the first 30 seconds is knowing the length, which no one can know. It does not happen with total annihilation in the first 30 seconds of the Lord's Day. That is why God let John write what John witnessed and place it into the cannon in the first century. Even Revelation 20 cannot happen until after the Second Coming. John would have placed it as the 4th chapter, not the 20th. Placing things out of John's chronology can only lead to confusion.
