What I think you are saying to me is that you don't know how to make it fit.
The chronology of the events in Revelation 6 -19 is a the chronology of events that take place in the seventieth week of Daniel 9. But you only have the second half of the seventieth week in your interpretation of those chapters. And don't take into consideration that any of those events could be in the first half of the seventieth week. Which is the fundamental error of your interpretation.
Revelation 11, the 7 years are contained in the first three verses. The first half is the 1260 days of the two witnesses testimony; and the second half is represented by the 42 months of occupying Jerusalem.
The seventh trumpet sounds right after the 1260 days (1263.5 days when the 3 1/2 days are included) of the two witnesses. Which is the same 1260 days in Revelation 12:6, which then after the war in the second heaven and Satan cast down is the third woe on the inhabiters of the earth. In the text.
I can't understand why that doesn't register with you.
Both Revelation 11 and Revelation 12 cover the seven years. Revelation 11 from the standpoint of the two witnesses. And Revelation 12 from the standpoint of Israel.
Revelation 12 covers 7 years because after the woman gives birth she is ceremonially unclean for 7 days (Leviticus 12:2) (then is purified). The woman 'gave birth' on Sept 23, 2017 with the star sign of Revelation 12:1. The beast from the sea's 42 months are the 2nd half of this 7 year set (2 sets of 1260 days). The woman is in the wilderness for this same time-frame of the 2nd half of these 7 years. (March 6, 2021 through Aug 17, 2024)
The 2 witnesses do not witness for 7 years
Revelation 11:1-4
I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”
The Gentiles trample the holy city for 42 months. The 2 witnesses prophecy for 1260 days. It's the same time period: the 2 witnesses (new Zerubabbel & new Joshua) are the ones building Ezekiel's temple that has the outer court that the Gentiles/ nations are possessing for 42 months. The 2 witnesses are given power (Revelation 11:6) after the 6th Trumpet war has started.
Revelation 11 only covers 1260 days, not 7 years. If the 2 witnesses are symbolic, it makes sense why it says both 42 months & 1260 days: The beast that is coming up from the abyss starts the war with the symbolic witnesses after 42 Bible/ lunar months (~ 1240 days) (allowing people to celebrate on Earth Day, 2025) and is concluded 20 days later on the 1260th day (20ish day war)
(the beast that is coming up - Revelation 11:7 = the 2nd appearance of Satan & the beast from the sea & earth. Revelation 17:8's beast that 'was', 'is not', and yet 'is' means that there are 2 appearances, when it 'was' and 'yet is'.
The 1st appearance of the beast from the abyss is in the 2nd half of the 7 years of the Revelation 12 timeline. The 2nd appearance starts after the 2nd half of the Revelation 12 timeline is over, ie after the 7 years of the woman is concluded. Then there is a gap from the end of the 7 years until the end of the 2 witnesses 1260 days when the 'beast from the abyss that is' / is 'coming up from the abyss' comes back to kill the 2 witnesses. (end of the 7 years: Aug 17, 2024 then Satan's 2 appearance comes up from the abyss May 10, 2025)
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens
and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea,
because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
because he knows that his time is short.”
The woe in Revelation 12:12 is going back in time to the 1st woe, because we moved back in time to the beginning of the 7 years for the woman, to the Sept 23, 2017 star sign. (Satan arrives 1290 days before the end of the 7 years here, 30 days prior to the beast from the sea's 42 months.)
These Revelation 12 woes are detailed in
1st woe/ Revelation 18:9-10, the kings of the earth say woe (associated with the 6th Seal kings Revelation 6:12-17 - 1 month later comes the beast from the sea)
2nd woe/ Revelation 18:11-16, the merchants say woe (associated with the beast from the earth & 666)
3rd woe/ Revelation 18:17-19, the sea captains say woe (the beast that is coming up from the abyss to kill the 2 witnesses)
then they rejoice at Revelation 18:20
And because there is the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom of heaven before the abomination (Matthew 24:14-15) & Malachi 4:5 says that Elijah will be preaching before the Day of the Lord,
Revelation Man insists the 2 witnesses show up before they should as Revelation describes it. The solution is in Daniel 9:26
And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed.
The 'city' is the woman 7 year time-line. Revelation 17:18
The 'sanctuary' is the 1260 day time-line starting at Kislev 24 (Haggai 2:18-23) (dusk Nov 27, 2021) when the 2 witnesses have laid the foundation for Ezekiel's temple.
