The Revelation Time Line
The Church Age = Rev. chapters 1-3, it is only Jesus praising and rebuking Seven TYPES of Churches via Asia Minor.
The Rapture of the Church
Rev. 4:1 is in all reality relative to John since he will be Raptured at the very time all the rest of us will be Raptured, just before the 70th week. Remember, there is 3.5 years of PEACE and we know this via Dan. 9:27 and Dan. 8:25, even via Rev. ch. 6 where the Red Horse takes away the PEACE from earth. So John being Raptured in ch. 4 is in essence a TYPE of the Church being Raptured just before the 70th week begins, then we see the Church Elders in Heaven with White Raiment (Robes) on in Rev. 4:4 and we see the Church saying Christ has REDEEMED US in Rev. 5:9 . Lets compare all of the VERSES:
Rev. 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
Rev. 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Thus those scriptures ABOVE must happen after the scriptures BELOW: In Rev. 4:4 we see the White Robes on, in Rev. 5:9 we see they are REDEEMED. They Marriage happens in Rev. 19:7-8.
Rev. 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
So wrapping these two chapters up, Jesus is about to open the First Seal, he is found Worthy to open the Sealed scroll. The Anti-Christ comes forth in the Middle of the Week or at the 1260 to Conquer and thus he becomes the Beast. Thus the First Seal is the Middle of the Week. Thus Rev. 6:1 is the 1260, everything after the First Seal is a part of the last half of the 70th Week. Rev. 19, as I have proven, has already begun before the First Seal is broken, the Bride has her White Robes on in Rev. ch. 4 and 5. The Marriage Supper in Rev. 19 is the battle of Armageddon in Rev. 16.
The Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments
Revelation chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 15 and 16 (I think 15 and 16 should be one chapter) are the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments, with chapter 7 showing the Raptured Church in Heaven at the Midway point and also showing the Jews (144,000) Fleeing Judea and being protected by God in Petra before God starts burning the tress, hurting the earth, and hurting the seas, or in essence, bringing forth the Supernatural Plagues against mankind spoken about via the Seal, Trumpets and Vials of Gods Wrath. Gods Wrath starts via allowing the Anti-Christ to go forth conquering, thus he kills 1.5 to 2 billion people, of course the Church has been Raptured, and there are only s many Jews, so who is he killing ? The Harlot of Course or all those who worship Gods already in place who will not worship him, think Islam, think Muslims !! He will wipe out the Harlot (All False Religions) at this point, see Rev. 17:16, the 10 Kings hate the Harlot and kill her off. He will kill the 2/3 Jews who do not repent and chase the 1/3 of the Jews who do repent into the Wilderness or Petra, that is what happens via the 144,000 in Rev. ch. 7. He will kill the REMNANT CHURCH who gave their lives unto Christ after the Rapture. But most will be Muslims, they will have to be, who refuse to worship the Beast and/or take the Mark of the Beast, the Harlot is judged, Islam and all False Religions will be wiped out (Rev. 17) this man desires to be worshiped as the only god. Rev. ch. 18 is Babylon (Whole World) being hit with all of these Judgments.
So the fourth (1/4) of all mankind that are killed happens in Rev. ch. 6, that is the Anti-Christ going forth to Conquer and Conquering. He thus takes Peace from the earth (Seal #2 or Red horse), which is how he came to power, via a FAKE PEACE, of course. He conquers Israel and THE MANY (Mediterranean Sea Region Nations), then he eventually Conquers the whole world in some shape, form or fashion. So these events described above are describing Rev. ch. 13, when the Beast Arises out of the [Mediterranean] Sea (Midway point). The above also describes Rev. 12, when Israel Flees Judea at the Midway point (1260/1290) and are protected for 1260 days. Rev. 12 and 13 are set-a-side chapters, not real time events. Think Parenthetical Citations.
Turning to the Trumpet judgments in Rev. ch.8 (Israel are already protected) we see the burning trees, the earth being hurt and the seas being hurt. Which lead me to think the First Four Seals all happen almost at once, back, to back, to back so to speak and the effect of each Seal takes time, the deaths come over time, the Religions are wiped out over time, not a long drawn out time period, but it will take some time. Then we see the Evidence of the Beasts Murderous ways via the 5th Seal, and the 6th Seal brings fort the Supernatural Judgments, thus these people who have been in the Wrath of God from the First Seal on, only now understand they are in the Wrath of the Lamb/God.
The Three Woes start in Rev. 9:1 with the First Woe, Apollyon, the Scarlet Colored Beast of Rev. ch. 17 is released from the bottomless pit along with all of the Demons who have been locked in chains heretofore (Jude 1:6). This Demonic Horde comes against mankind for 5 months, but can only harm and maim mankind for this time period. Then the Second Woe is, IMHO, an Angelic Army who kills a third (1/3) of all mankind (1.5 Billion people), but they are Angelic beings killing wicked men, thus they deliver PLAGUES !!
Rev. 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Then we skip to Rev. ch. 16, which I think was originally meant to follow Rev. ch. 9, and I think basically Rev. 15 and 16 was/is one chapter. This is the Third Woe, all Seven Vials are the Third Woe. Thus the Battle of Armageddon (Marriage Super in Rev. 19) happens here, the Nations that Gather at Armageddon are seen by God as Babylon (Satan's Dark Kingdom/Whole World).
Rev. 16:19 And the great city (Jerusalem/Earthquake) was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell (SEEN AS BABYLON): and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
So God sees these Nations that gather against him in Rev. 16:12-14, the Kings of the East (Iran/Iraq) the European Union (BEAST/10 Kings) and the Nations of the WHOLE WORLD.........14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Babylon = The Whole World that comes to battle against God !!
Rev. 20, 21 and 22 end the Book of Revelation as per the Chronological order. We have the Judgment Seat where the Martyrs of the 70th Week Tribulation period are judged, those are seen under the Alter in Seal #5, who then live and reign with Christ 1000 years. We then have the ever after/eternity with God, via the New Jerusalem.
The Parenthetical Citation Chapters
After Rev. ch. 16, which IMHO, should be Rev. ch. 10, the Chronological order should skip unto Rev. chapter 20. Chapters 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18 and 19 are not a part of the Chronological order of the book of Revelation. Each chapter then tells a SPECIFIC EVENT/ACCOUNT about something that happened during the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments, in a much fuller detail so to speak as pe the specified event being spoken of. Oddly, if Rev. 16 was Rev. 10, then the current Rev. ch. 10 (WHICH WOULD BE 11 LOL) might make more sense as per the TIME SHOULD BE NO MORE VERSE !! (Just a theory at this point, but its interesting).
Rev. 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
The Seventh Angel SOUNDS which brings forth the 3rd Woe, which is all Seven Vials combined. So it seems to suggest, kinda, that Chapter 10 could be an "END OF ALL TIME AS WE KNOW IT" type of chapter, thus the "Age changes", Satan is no longer in charge, Babylon has Fallen. So Chapter 10 could fit in the Chronological order, if chapter 15 and 16 preceded it, as I think it/they should.
As per the other chapters, they are set-a-sides or Parenthetical Citations so to speak.
Rev. chapter 11 is the detailed account of the Two-witnesses. They die at the Second Woe, before the Beast dies, thus their 1260 days must start before the Beasts 1260 days start. Thus they show up BEFORE the Day of the Lord at the 1335, which is 1335 days from the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The Two-witnesses are told in so many words who to witness/preach unto, they are told to Measure the Temple and the Alter but not to Measure the outside court, this means Preach/Witness unto the Jews but not unto the Gentiles per se. Of course Gentiles might hear them, but their job is to turn Israel back unto God (Malachi 4:5-6). Apollyon the Scarlet Colored Beast from the pit kills the Two-witnesses at the 2nd Woe, and then they are raised up after 3 1/2 days. But........ Remember Rev. 10 ? The Seventh Angel Sounded !! The Two-witnesses are dead, but their PRAYERS that brought forth the Plagues etc. etc. etc. are not finished, the Seventh Trumpet Sounds bringing forth the 3rd Woe !! It comes from the Two-witnesses prayers also, so the story is finished out in Rev. 11, even though the Two-witnesses have died, their PRAYERS are answered and a brief account of what happens is told unto us, the plagues/vials brought forth actually happen and are detailed in Rev. ch. 16 however, not here, because the Seven Vials are the 3rd Woe.
Rev. 11:14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God
Rev. 11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. 19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
The LAST VERSE sounds a lot like Rev. chapter 10 right ? I think Rev. chapter 16 should come before Rev. 10, I know I am repeating that, but it fits here. We see here that the 7th Trumpet brings all of this to pass without giving the DETAILS as per the Seven Vials, the Seventh Trumpet Sounds and we are hearing about the END PRODUCT of what happened !! We are just supposed to know its the 3rd Woe, because it says in verse 14, the Third Woe COMETH QUICKLY. So every thing after that is what the 3rd Woe has wrought. We are told about the actual Seven Vials in Rev. ch. 16.
Rev. 12 is Israel Fleeing Judea and that happens at the First Seal, or 30 days before the First Seal at the 1290.
Rev. 13 is the Anti-Christ Conquering to become the Beast, it happens at the First Seal also.
Rev. 14 happens over a Seven Year Period, its the Rapture of the Church in verse 14, and later on the Harvest of the Wicked.
Rev. 17 is the Harlot (All False Religion) being Destroyed by the Beast and his 10 Kings who understand that if the Beast is to be Worshiped as the ONLY GOD then all Religions have to be wiped off the face of the earth, thus the Harlot is JUDGED !! This happens starting at the First Seal (Rev. 6), and goes as long as it takes, I don't think it takes him long, he has this planed out ahead of time.
Rev. 18 also starts out at the First Seal, it is Babylon (Whole World) being pelted with the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Plagues via Gods Wrath. This is why it references things that happen in many chapters, because it actually covers many chapters. For instance, the "Come out of her my people" is referencing God calling Israel to FLEE Judea so they do not partake in her (Babylon...THE WORLDS) sins, and so they don't partake in her PLAGUES....Like I said, its about the Seal, Trumpet and Vial PLAGUES !! Thus the verse matches with the 144,000 (ALL Israel, not 144,000) who God protects in Rev. ch. 7, and with Rev. ch. 12 where the Woman (Israel) Flees unto the Wilderness for 1260 days.
Rev. 18 then mentions that Babylon has become the Habitation of Devils, and of course that is true, Satan has been kicked out of Heaven at about the Midway point, and Apollyon and his horde of Demons have been released from the Bottomless Pit. And Babylon's COMMERCE is destroyed of Course, by the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments. Of course that is what happens when the trees and grasses burn up, the Seas turn to blood, the drinking waters are poisoned, the Sea Creatures die (Shrimp/fish/etc). And 1/4 of mankind is killed by the Beast (1.5 to 2 billion people) followed by another 1/3 of mankind (1.5 Billion people) getting killed via the 2nd Woe. That will put a dent in the COMMERCE !! So yes, her COMMERCE is hurt severely !!
Rev. 19 is the Rapture (Rev. 4:1) and the Marriage of the Lamb to the Church/Bride, and we see the Bride in White Robes in Rev. 4:4, we also see the Bride in Rev. 5:9 and Rev. 7:9-17. Finally we see the Marriage Super happens at Armageddon (Rev. 16:19) and then the Beast is cast into hell in Rev. 19:20, which is a Real Time Event, but all the rest of Rev. 19 happened from Rev. chapter 4 to Rev. ch. 16, when the Angel announced IT IS DONE !!
As we can clearly see, Rev. 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18 and 19 are Parenthetical Citations.
The Church Age = Rev. chapters 1-3, it is only Jesus praising and rebuking Seven TYPES of Churches via Asia Minor.
The Rapture of the Church
Rev. 4:1 is in all reality relative to John since he will be Raptured at the very time all the rest of us will be Raptured, just before the 70th week.

Rev. 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

As we can clearly see, Rev. 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18 and 19 are Parenthetical Citations.
