Putting Revelations in Chronological order is not possible because it records a number of sequences that each culminate in the Parousia (the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ) and so overlap. There is only one second coming (not two or one and a half). Also like all prophecy some visions are received as out of order. For example Daniel 7 happens after Daniel 9 in temporal history.
It can indeed be done. The key is understanding that the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments must be in Chronological order starting on day 1261, which leaves 1260 days until the second coming. Thus the holy peoples are overcome as Daniel 12 says and there is a Time, times and half (3.5 years) until these wonders end (Second Coming). So one has to understand this to understand the chronology.
1.) Rev. 1 = Jesus seen in all his Glory
{ Write the things which you have seen}
2.) Rev. 2 and 3 = The Church Age
{Write the things which are}
Revellation 4-22 are therefore the
{Things which will be hereafter}
3.) Rev. 4 and 5 are the Church in Heaven BEFORE the Seals are opened. The gifts promised to the 7 Churches in Rev. 2 & 3 are received by the 24 elders, a Throne, Crown White Robe/Raiment. The multitude are from all nations, tongues, peoples, and they are called priests of God.
4.) Rev. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15&16 ends the 1260 days of turmoil on earth under the Beast system. The first four seals represent the Anti-Christ being released to go forth conquering over a 42 month period, they are all opened on day 1261 as is the 5th Seal which covers the same 1260 day period, its the testament against Satan/Anti-Christ. The 6th Seal is also opened on day 1261, you see the first 5 Seals are all about what's coming, there is no delay needed between each Seal, they are opened, and it will take 42 months for each to come to pass, thus the 6th Seal is opened immediately afterwards, thus all the first Six Seals are opened almost simultaneously thus the Day of God's Wrath starts at the very beginning of the Seals being opened, that is why Satan "chases the woman" for 1260 days in Rev. 12, he is kicked out of Heaven on day 1261, leaving him 1260 days on earth to vent his rage. Thus he is kicked out at the 6th Seal, {Rev. 6:13 And the
stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.} Angelic beings are referred to as stars throughout the bible {Job/Revelation}, and here in Revelation many times.
In Rev. chapter 7 God holds up the 7th Seal, because the Seven Trumpets are released by the 7th Seal. But why ? Well He tells us, God tells the Angels to hold up the winds that blow on the four corners of the earth that it HURT NOT the Earth, Sea or Trees {BIG CLUE HERE}. What hurts the Earth, Sea and Trees ? The first four Trumps, the last three Trumps are the 3 Woes, but the first four Trumps burn all the grass, 1/3 of the trees, hurts sea/sea creatures/ships etc. and hurts the earth in general via plagues. So why does God see the need to HOLD UP these Trumpet Judgments? Well He tells us, so the 144,000 can be SEALED !! What does that really mean ? Think now, who is fleeing Judea at about this time ? The Jewish converts who of course have to have already repented or else they wouldn't have heeded Jesus' words to flee Judea when they see the Abomination of Desolation. We know they repent BEFORE the DOTL because Malachi 4:5-6 says so. Thus the 144,000 is a Metaphor for ALL ISRAEL as Isaiah and Paul stated, thus 12 is the number for fullness, and 12 x 12,000 = All Israel. God HOLDS UP the Trumpet Judgments until the 1/3 of the Jews who repented {Zechariah 13:8-9} reach their SAFETY ZONE in the Petra/Bozrah area of Modern day Jordan. THEN and only then will the Judgments start. In Rev. 18 we see God says {"Come out of here my people, lest you recieve of her plagues} it all ties in. The World is Babylon.
In Rev. 8 we see the Trumpet Judgments and are told in the very last verse that the sounding of the last three Trumpets are the THREE WOES. In Rev. 9 we see the first two Woes, the Demons are released from the bottomless pit, thus Rev. 18:2 is completed in full, Babylon has become a habitation of Devils/Demons, and with this here and Satan being cast to earth, the World {Babylon} is indeed a habitation of devils. Apollyon is released, he is the Scarlet Colored Beast of Revelation chapter 17 that WAS......IS NOT {is in the pit}.....YET IS. The 2nd Woe or the 200 Million is an Angelic Army that slays 1/3 of mankind, its called a Plague of God, it has nothing to do with 200 million horses or Chinese. Sorry to burst some peoples bubble on this thinking.
Rev. 10 is an Angel telling John that when the 7th Trumpet Sounds {which is the 3rd Woe remember} TIME will be no more [as we know it, Jesus will take over]. Rev. 15 actually happens in Heaven, but the Seven Angels readying the 7 Vials is IMHO a part of Rev. 16, so I place it here. Rev. 16 is of course the final 7 Vials, the LAST TRUMPET or 7th Trumpet = the 3rd Woe, so the 7 Vials are the 3rd Woe. In Rev. 16 we are told that IT IS DONE !! So this ends it all, Jesus defeats the Beast and all his minions {Rev. 16:19} whom God calls BABYLON THE GREAT and we can see in the 6th Vial who God is referring to, the Kings of the East AND [Anti-Christ/E.U. is obvious] but there is another statement that says the three demon frogs gathers "ALL THE KINGS OF ALL THE WHOLE WORLD" to battle against God at Armageddon !! So Babylon is THE WHOLE WORLD, or Satan's Dark Kingdom on Earth. Babylon means confusion, and Satan has confused the Masses that follow him, of course.
That ends the REAL TIME EVENTS under Humans, Rev. 20 Judgment Seat, Rev. 21 and 22 the Everafter and New Jerusalem are real time events, but under Jesus' reign. Amen.
The Parenthetical Chapters. Rev. 11, 12, 13 14, 17, 18 and 19 are parenthetical chapters that happened between day 1261 and Jesus' return all besides Rev. 11 which starts 75 days before day 1261 and thus kinda ends 75 days before the Beast dies. {SEE BELOW}
Rev. 11 = The Two-witnesses chapter. This covers of course a 1260 day period, but since the Two-witnesses die BEFORE the Beast dies and they both have "OFFICES" that last for 1260 days, our ALL KNOWING God gave us, his people, the ANSWER by using simple math here. If BOTH the Beast and Two-witnesses have 1260 day OFFICES and one dies at the 2nd Woe {Two-witnesses} and the other dies at the 7th Vial {Beast} then they indeed have STAGGERED OFFICES, and thus the Two-witnesses must indeed come into their office BEFORE the Beast comes into his, because they die first, so simple math tells us they have to show up before he does in order to fulfill their 1260 day office, and Malachi 4:5-6 tells us that Elijah will be sent back BEFORE the great and dreadful Day of the Lord to turn Israel back unto God !! Amen. It all fits. Rev. 11 thus starts 75 days before the Beast conquers Jerusalem/Mediterranean Sea Region and dies 75 days before the Beast dies. Where do I get my 75 days ? Daniel ch. 12, the 1260 is the holy peoples being conquered a Time, times and half {1260 days} before all these wonders end [at the Second Coming].
Likewise, the 1290 and 1335 are not what people think, or better yet, no one knows, everyone guesses, until now. Daniel asks again in verse 8 "What is the end of these things" and so when Jesus {Man in linen} answers about the 1290 and 1335 it is like the 1260 a SET NUMBER OF DAYS until all these wonders end OR until the Second Coming !! So the 1290 or the AoD happens 30 days BEFORE the Jews are Conquered, thus Jesus' warning now makes sense, he gives them a period of time to Flee Judea when they see this Abomination, before the Beast invades. The AoD is placed in the Temple by the False Prophet/High Priest who like Jason under Antiochus will betray his own people. The IMAGE is placed by the False Prophet {Rev. 13} we know that. So the AoD is a warning to Flee Judea, thus those 1/3 who repented flee, they are they 144,000 which will be more like 2-3 million Jews because a 1/3 of 6-7 million is over 2 million. If its Jews from all around the world the number would be higher of course. The 1335 is THE BLESSING, and thus its the Two-witnesses showing up to BLESS Israel by getting them to turn back unto God.
{That chapter is complicated/thus long}
Rev. 12 starts of course with the Seals being opened as Satan is cast down to earth on day 1261. The story about Jesus birth and the Dragon and the Woman is just a CODE to us where we can figure out this chapter. Its Satan/Anti-Christ chasing the woman into the Wilderness where God protects her for 1260 days. We see here that THE REMNANT can't be Jews, thus they have to be the Church who came to Christ AFTER the Rapture. The 1/3 of the Jews in Petra are protected, and the 2/3 who did not repent will perish, so they DON'T have the testimony of Jesus, thus those that are in peril AND have the testimony of Jesus HAVE to be the Gentile Church. {REMNANT CHURCH}.
Rev. 13 starts at the First Seals also, the Beast ARISES out of the Sea, thus the Mortal Wound is healed, there was NO BEAST for nigh 2000 years, Jesus told Peter the gates of hell could not prevail against the Church, thus we delivered the Mortal Wound to the Beast !! This chapter runs for 1260 days no doubt just like Rev. 12.
Rev. 14 is the Harvest Chapter, it covers the full Seven Years. We see three Harvests here. The Wheat {Israel verse 1} remain on earth with the Tares {Wicked on earth verses 18-20} and both are Harvested, the Wheat are gathered into the barn whilst the Tares are bundled {Killed} and put aside to be burned at a later date {1000 years.} In verses 14-16 we have a sorta soliloquy where the Jesus Harvest of the Church interrupts the story. Jesus himself thrusts in the Sickle to Harvest the souls, the Angel thrusts in the Sickle to Harvest the wicked a few verses later. So Rev. 14:14-16 is the telling of the Rapture with Jesus Harvesting us from a "CLOUD". Thus we go meet him in the air.
Rev. 17 starts with the Seals also, thus chapter 6 is a recurring theme here of course. This is The Harlot which = All False Religions of ALL TIME. She is judged at this time, the Kings in league with the Beast Kill her off. The Beast Demands to be worshipped as the ONLY God right from the very start, thus Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism etc. all religions must go away, the False Prophet {2nd Beast} is tasked to make all mankind Worship the Beast thus hes the BEAST over Religion, whereas the Anti-Christ is the BEAST over Governments. Thus the colors represent Piousness and Royalty. The Harlot is judged here, she is no more, there will be only one False Religion left and Jesus/God will judge that at Armageddon of course.
Rev. 18 also starts with the Seals {Rev. 6} it is Babylon {The Whole World} being Judged with the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments. God tells his people {144,000/ALL Israel} to come out of her, He tells us that Babylon {World} is a habitation of devils, then God tells us of the Rich Merchants crying and Lamenting because of the Destruction of Babylon {Whole World}. These plagues of course Destroy the economies of the world, no doubt. The trees and grasses are burned, 1/3 of all sea creature die, 1/3 of all the fresh waters are poisoned, 1/3 of all the ships are destroyed. The Anti-Christ kills 2 billion people and the 200 Million Angelic Army another 1.5 to 2 billion people. The judgment comes in ONE HOUR, well the Kings also serve with the Beast ONE HOUR {42 Months} they also come in ONE DAY {Day of the Lord}. These kings CRY and LAMENT the burning of Babylon {The World} but they all rejoiced when the Harlot was killed off. {Because they are TWO DIFFERENT ENTITIES, The Harlot RIDES the Beast.}
Rev. 19 like Rev. 14 covers the Full 7 years. We see the Raptured Church Marrying the Lamb in Rev. 19, then the Church/Bride returning with Christ to Armageddon {Marriage Supper}. Satan is placed in the pit and the Anti-Christ and False Prophet is cast into hellfire.
THE END..............P.S. The people seen in Heaven in Rev. 7 are the Raptured Church from MANY NATIONS. We came out of the 2000 year Church Age TROUBLES/TRIBULATION PERIOD. Jesus stated we would have continual tribulation. Many millions of Christians were murdered over the 2000 year church age period.
Revelation can be put in Chronological order, but it has to be studied, prayed over, restuddied again and again. I have been called to this and it took me over 30 years to put it all together. God gave us a mega riddle of riddles so to speak.
