You seem to try to understand things from the Jews point of view, so look at it this way.
This is the start of the Day of the Lord's wrath at the start of the Trumpets on the Feast of Tabernacles (the 'rainy season' Sabbath of Matthew 24:20 kicking off the 'great tribulation').
Ezekiel 38:18 Now on that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, My wrath will flare up.
After 5 months (Revelation 9:5), Gog is defeated at Shushan Purim (the 'winter' Sabbath of Matthew 24:20). Jews think that God/ the messiah/ the antichrist has defeated Gog.
After 7 months, the Jews think that God is displaying His glory, but it is the antichrist 'displaying his glory'.
Ezekiel 39:12
For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.
13 All the people of the land will bury them, and it will bring them renown on the day I display My glory, declares the Lord GOD.
This is when the abomination of desolation idol is set up in Shinar/ Babylon.
The following is not Armageddon, the 6th Bowl of wrath. It is the 6th Trumpet from Revelation 9:13-21. Apparently, it is the antichrist waging war on behalf of Israel.
17 And as for you, son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: Call out to every kind of bird and to every beast of the field: ‘Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great feast on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood.
18 You will eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls—all the fattened animals of Bashan.
19 At the sacrifice I am preparing, you will eat fat until you are gorged and drink blood until you are drunk.
20 And at My table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, of mighty men and warriors of every kind,’ declares the Lord GOD.
The feast that is 'being prepared' is part of the sacrifices for Feast of Tabernacles that would start 1 month from then.
This is the Revelation 10:1 rainbow, displaying the glory to the nations, the 'sign of the son of man after the tribulation of those days' (Matthew 24:29-30).
21I will display My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment that I execute and the hand that I lay upon them.
This is the 2 witnesses gathering Israel, 'gathering the elect immediately after the tribulation of those days' (Matthew 24:29-31)
Ezekiel 39
22From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.
23And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to Me. So I hid My face from them and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, so that they all fell by the sword.
24I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and transgressions, and I hid My face from them.
25Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Now I will restore Jacob from captivity and will have compassion on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for My holy name.
26They will forget their disgrace and all the treachery they committed against Me, when they dwell securely in their land, with no one to frighten them.
27When I bring them back from the peoples and gather them out of the lands of their enemies, I will show My holiness in them in the sight of many nations.
then it segues into the Ezekiel temple, just like the 2 witnesses 'measuring the temple'.
Ezekiel 43:7 The LORD said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place where I will rest my feet. I will live here forever among the people of Israel. They and their kings will not defile my holy name any longer by their adulterous worship of other gods or by honoring the relics of their kings who have died.
God will not let His name be profaned any more - it is the job of the 2 witnesses (one of which is 'Yeshua' / 'Joshua'/ 'Jesus' from Zech 4) to punish those that profane God's name.
Zechariah 14
:16Then all the survivors from the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
17And should any of the families of the earth not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts,
then the rain will not fall on them. 18And if the people of Egypt will not go up and enter in, then the rain will not fall on them; this will be the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
The 2 witnesses are given power to 'withhold rain' in Revelation 11:6
They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire.
Then when the antichrist does profane God's name, by 'breaking the covenant' at the 7th Trumpet, God will not allow it and this is the what is happening with the 7 Bowls of wrath.
The 'day of the Lord's wrath' is not 7 years. A day never means 7 years. It can mean 1 year or 1 day.
After the Day (1 year) that starts at the Trumpets on a Feast of Tabernacles, then at the next Feast of Tabernacles, the 2 witnesses are empowered to punish those that profane God's name. 3.5 years later, the antichrist breaks the covenant. God doesn't allow it and punishes the beast with the 7 bowls of wrath.
