A timeline of events that make sense. Is it even possible?

I don't recall what your view on Matthew 24:30 is. Since you see the rapture taking place prior to the 2nd coming, is the coming in Matthew 24:30 the rapture to you or the 2nd coming to you?
Matthew 24:30 - Second Coming.

Matthew 24:15-31 is actually a message specifically aimed at the Jews in the end times, as they will end up having to go through the great tribulation.

Matthew 24:32-51 is a message specifically aimed at Christians in the end times, as how to avoid having to go through the great tribulation, by means of the rapture.

v15-31 - great tribulation - Jews
v32-51 - rapture - Christians

If I were to accept that interpretation I may as well conclude those verses are pertaining to the first century and 70 AD rather than in the end of this age. What we have to keep in mind, unbelieving Jews typically don't take anything in the NT as holy writ, and they for sure don't think Jesus is the promised Messiah. Therefore, how can any of them possibly fulfill what Jesus commanded one to do when they see the AOD spoken of by Daniel the prophet, that they are to head to the mountains, not to even look back, no time to gather any belongings first? How are they going to know to do those things if they don't even believe those things to begin with, nor that they are going to be taking advice from someone, meaning Jesus, who claims to be the Messiah when they don't believe His claim is true to begin with?

You hit the nail on the head. The Jews don't read the new testament, and chapters like Matthew 24.

So how will they know to flee?

Because for the first 1260 days of the seven years the two witnesses will be testifying to them, informing them what to do.

The two witnesses will be in Jerusalem, because that is where their bodies will lie in the streets of for 3 1/2 days, after the beast kills them. The two witnesses testimony will be aimed at the Jews.

This cannot be right, as you have the 2W killed at the mid point of the final 7 years. There is still another 1260 days to go before Jesus Returns and destroys the AC's army.
Your end times scenario is full of inconsistencies like this.

It isn't the Jews who will be living in the holy Land in the end times. When the Anti-Christ leader conquers Jerusalem, Zechariah 14:1-2, Revelation 13:1-6, the holy people of God are already there; Daniel 7:25, Revelation 13:7
So the idea of a Jewish redemption when Jesus Returns is wrong. Zechariah 12 & 13 say there will be a remnant who will mourn and repent then. As Paul tells us in Romans 9:27

I suggest to you; it will be far better for you to admit your errors and change your beliefs, than to stand before God in Judgment with the stain of false teaching on you.

It is right. The two witnesses are killed, then 3 1/2 days later, come back to life and ascend to heaven.

The beast then rules unhampered by the two witnesses for the next 42 months. At the end of the 42 months, Jesus returns.

Right after the two witnesses are killed and brought back life, ascend to heaven leaving this world - there is the great earthquake and then the 7th angel sounds his trumpet, which leads to the third woe, Satan being cast down to earth having but a little time, of a time/times/half time.

It isn't the Jews who will be living in the holy Land in the end times. When the Anti-Christ leader conquers Jerusalem, Zechariah 14:1-2, Revelation 13:1-6, the holy people of God are already there; Daniel 7:25, Revelation 13:7
Why, in your scenario of a Christian nation of Beulah (replacing Israel), would Christians knowing the bible would ever enter into a covenant for 7 years with a world leader - them knowing what it says in Daniel 9:27 ?

Israel, on the other hand, the Jews in Israel right now are looking for the messiah. One of the things Judaism's messiah will do in keeping the law of Moses covenant, is to confirm that covenant for the 7 years that Moses required in Deuteronomy 31:9-13. Nothing to do with a peace treaty.

And in your scenario of the world leader allowing Christians to do animal sacrifices makes zero sense. On the other hand, Jews restarting the animal sacrifices, going by what is required in the law of Moses covenant, makes perfect sense, only to have the Antichrist stop those in the middle part of the 7 years.
