I take "AFTER AFTER THIS" of Rev. 4:1 differently than do you.
I believe that (meta tauta) used twice here in verse 1. It both opens and closes the 1st verse. This repetition certainly lends great emphasis and importance to this verse and apparently, John was concerned that "Amillennialists" would miss it...so he used the same phrase twice.
"I saw and behold a door was set open in heaven " and the next thing John saw was God on the throne and the church gathered around Him.
To me, that is the Rapture of the church and the evidence is it being in the throne room with God.

Rev. 4:1 ends the Church Age, Jesus' VOICE is as a Trump. In a Judean wedding, especially a Galilean wedding, they used a shofar to call the wedding guests because it was usually past midnight when the father sent the groom, and if you missed the call (5 Virgins) you were locked out of the wedding. So much symbolism, and detail.
And I do not agrre......the A/C will be a HUMAN MAN and so will the False Prophet.
You seem like a person with a keen sense of understanding God's truths when you see them. Have you ever wondered who the False Prophet type was? Studying, or really, doing an Exegesis on Daniel 11, where I named every king, how they came to power, etc. I came across a historical figure named Jason who Brobed Antiochus Epiphanes to be named the Jewish High Priest, thereby having his Pios High Priest brother Onias III killed, his real name was Yeshua, he took the Greek name, Jason. He then tried to Hellenizee the Jews, leading to the Maccabean Revolt. It hit me like a ton of bricks, this was the False Prophet TYPE and he lived alongside the Anti-Crist TYPE in Antiochus !! So, from this point on I knew the coming False Prophet would be a Jewish High Priest. But of course, I had to test the spirit, LOL. So, off I went. I asked my self, why would God tell John about a False Prophet, but stay completely silent about it when giving Daniel His end-time Prophesies.
Boom, it hit me, if Gabriel/Jesus (Man in Linen) had given Daniel the Prophet about the coming False Prophet High Priest, the Jews would have killed every other High Priest, just like when King Herod tried to kill baby Jesus, but by the time John wrote Revelation, Jerusalem had been sacked. But then I saw the False Prophet in Daniel, but he wasn't named. He is the 1290 Event, he TAKES AWAY the Sacrifice and places the AoD. Rev. 13 (as you described above) says the False Prophet places the IMAGE of the Beat in the Temple, so the 1290 event is the Jewish High Priest, not the Anti-Christ, which it could never be, he only conquers Jerusalem/holy peoples at the 1260, which is 30 days after the 1290 event. As I went, all things checked out, did the 1290 being the false Prophet make more sense than the Anti-Christ? Yes, I often wondered why the Jews got a SIGN to Flee Judea as they were being Conquered, well, they don't, they get a 30-day notice so to speak, FLEE Judea !! NOW !! Don't look back, so that made sense.
But if the Jews Fled Judea, they had to have already repented, and read Matt. 24:15-17 to understand this right? My studies continued. Did this fit? YES, Malachi 4:5-6 says Elijah will be sent back BEFORE the Great And Dreadful Day of the Lord(1260 event) to turn Israel back unto God. Zechariah 13:8-9 says that 1/3 of the Jews repent and call God their God again, and God calls them His own again. There will be 2/3 who refuse to repent and they will thus perish. The very next verse (Zechariah 14:1-2) astonished me, it says Behold, the Day of the Lord cometh, then Jerusalem gets sacked, so the 1/3 REPENT BEFORE the DOTL, just like Mallacj and Zechariah prophesied, thus the Jews repent before the 1290 event, that is how they know to Flee Judea.
That only left the 1335, and it was now obvious to me what the 1335 was, THE BLESSING was the Two-witnesses showing up to turn Israel back unto God !! But did this fit the END TIME TIMELINES? Yes, the Two-witnesses die before the Beast dies, they die at the 2nd Woe, he dies at the 7th Vial, so their 1260 day offices, as ordained by God, are off-set. The Two-witnesses show up 75 days before the Anti-Christ Conquers Jerusalem at the 1260 to turn Israel back unto God,
The 1335 is the Two-witnesses showing up 1335 days before the Second Coming ENDS ALL THESE WONDERS !!
The 1290 is the False Prophet taking away THE SACRIFICE (He stops Jesus Worship, LOL its true) in the temple of God and placing an Image of the (IMHO) E.U. Beast in the Temple of God. Why would Jesus/Gabriel talk about a DEFILED meat Sacrifice being taken away? They wouldn't, and you can't defile what is already defiled, the Temple is cleansed, the Jews accept Jesus as their Messiah. This angry High Priest then forbids Jesus Worship in the Temple and places the E.U. Presidents Image up. (Stands where it ought not). This all happens, 1290 days before the Second Coming ENDS ALL THESE WONDERS.
The 1260 is the Anti-Christ conquering Jerusalem, thus he rules the holy peoples for 1260 days until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ ENDS ALL THESE WONDERS!!
I got this via verse 8 tbh. I noticed Daniel asked the EXACT SAME QUESTION as the Angel asked Jesus, WHO LONG, thus I was like, well, this means the answer to the 1290 and 1335 has to have the same pattern. Each is telling us about an event, and how long it is from said event until the Second Coming ends all these wonders.
This is kinda deep, so not many people even get it a wee bit. I see these things that are clear to me, things that just blows my mind.
God Bless.
