That's not an interpretation, that's an exposition, there is a big difference. My view of Revelations is pretty straight forward, seals at the beginning (Rev. ch. 1-7). Trumpets in the middle (Rev. ch. 8-14), vials of wrath toward the end (Rev. ch. 15-21). Of course there are a lot of other things going on obviously, but that's a general outline. Toward the end of the Trumpet blasts the two witnesses finish their testimony in Jerusalem that ends after 3 1/2 years. Between the seals and the Trumpets, the Trumpets and the Vials are considerable periods of time. During those times it's all conquest and plunder
The Four Horsemen are the same guy, the first four seals represent the rise of the Antichrist. The fifth seal reveal the martyrs beneath the alter asking how long will God wait to avenge their blood. The sixth seal is cataclysmic wrath and they all hide in the dens and caves of the rocks to hid from the 'Lamb'. In the opening scenes the Antichrist is seen as the World Conqueror, followed by World War, World Famine and finally World Plague. It's all the same guy but at the same time he is raising an army and creating a terrible mess. The Antichrist, a term not actually used in the Revelation, features prominently in eschatology. The word translated 'tribulation' is more often used in Scripture to speak of persecution:
Tribulation (θλῖψις, thlē'-psēs
G2347) In
Revelation 7:14, “the great tribulation”, RV, lit., “the tribulation, the great one” (not as KJV, without the article), is not that in which all saints share; it indicates a definite period spoken of by the Lord in
Matthew 24:21;
Mark 13:19; where the time is mentioned as preceding His second advent, and as a period in which the Jewish nation, restored to Palestine in unbelief by gentile instrumentality, will suffer an unprecedented out burst of fury on the part of antichristian powers confederate under the Man of Sin (
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12;
Revelation 12:13-17); in this tribulation gentile witnesses for God will share (
Revelation 7:9), but it will be distinctly “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (
Jeremiah 30:7), its beginning is signalized by the setting up of the ‘abomination of desolation” (
Matthew 24:15;
Mark 13:14, with
Daniel 11:31;
Daniel 12:11).
Note: For the verb thlibo, in the passive voice rendered “suffer tribulation: in
1 Thessalonians 3:4, KJV (RV ‘suffer affliction’) (Vine's Expository Dictionary)
Terms to know with regards to the end times, 'tribulation', 'the great tribulation' 'antichrist' (man of sin, little horn, the beast from the sea), 'the time of Jacob's trouble' and 'abomination of desolation'. That greatly simplifies the eschatology and avoids the trappings of allegorizing the text.
