The Chronology of Prophetic Events

Trumpet events FOLLOW Seal events FOLLOWED BY Plague events.

The appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (1 Thess.5:2-3, Acts 2:20-21, Lk.21:25-37, Isa.13:6-11, Jer.30:7, Joel 2:31-32, Re.6:12-17) is a (Sixth) SEAL event, not to be confused with the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension, a separate event.

At the Seventh, and final, SEAL (Re.8:1), seven TRUMPETS are GIVEN (Re.8:2), and seven angels PREPARE themselves to sound (Re.8:2, 6). The TRUMPET events cannot occur until the Trumpets are GIVEN at the Seventh, and final, SEAL.

Note that those who have gained the victory over the beast (Re.15:2) are in heaven when the Seven Last PLAGUES are GIVEN and poured out (Re.15:1, Re.15:6-8, Re.16:1). The Seventh TRUMPET ascension has taken place (1 Thess.4:16-17, 1 Cor.15:52, Re.10:7, Dan.12:7).
