Hi Doug,
A couple of other points regarding your timeline.
2. The A/D you have is NOT in the middle of the tribulation.
3. The A/C rules for 1,260 days and you have him ruling longer - 1,335 days.
Marilyn, the abomination of desolation
idol as I have it is in the middle part of the 7 years. But not at the precise mid-point day.

No, I didn't write nor imply any of those things, Marilyn. You could say that I have the person as the beast for longer than 1335 days, yes. But not as the Antichrist. The person doesn't rule as the Antichrist (the King of Israel) for 1260 days, but something less.
The person is the Antichrist from day 1 to some undeterminable day when he commits the transgression of desolation
act in 2thessalonians2:4. At that time, his time as being the Antichrist is over, and he becomes the revealed man of sin.
So, I have the person as the Antichrist from day 1 to
around 3 years 3 months into the seven years. The exact day cannot be determined.
Differently, the 1335 days pertains to the AoD
idol, the image of the beast. How long it is going to be in place.
The person who becomes the Antichrist does so by being anointed the King of Israel. He confirms the Mt. Sinai covenant beginning the 7 years. 3 years 3 months (a rough guess) into the 7 years, he commits the transgression of desolation
act. Ending his time as the Antichrist (illegitimate King of Israel), and the false perceived messianic age of peace and safety. The Day of the Lord begins.
God has the person killed for his act of claiming to be God. Ezekiel 28:1-10. And afterward, in Isaiah 14:18-20, in disdain for the person, God brings him back to life. At which time, having come back to life, the person takes on the personna of the beast - no longer the Antichrist.
The image of him made, the AoD
idol, and placed in the temple - 1335 days before Jesus returns. The AoD
idol triggers the great tribulation on day 1185 of the seven years.

1. The 2thessalonians2:4 transgression of desolation
act triggers the Day of the Lord
2. The image made of the beast, the Abomination of Desolation
idol, triggers the great tribulation.
The Antichrist in (1) commits the transgression of desolation
act. He will be killed for it. And brought back to life as the beast. The image made of the beast (2), the abomination of desolation
idol, and placed in the temple on day 1185, 1335 days before Jesus returns.
Marilyn, first the person commits the act. Killed for it, brought back life. Then the idol made of him, because the world will think the person actually has achieved God-hood, thinking he has overcome death.
