The time line.

37 ad-67 ad, The apostles persecution of Matt 24, earthquakes, famines, pests.
--
The 5th seal.
--
67 ad, Jerusalem surrounded, Lk 21:20-24. Those in Judea flee to the mountains etc. Israel scattered into the gentile nations.
70 ad, Jerusalem falls. The end of the age. The completion of the 6th/7th seal. The times of the gentiles trampling begin Lk 21:20-24, 24. Jesus brings clouds of Roman armies to destroy Jerusalem (but it is not the resurrection coming for salvation). The great time of Jacob's trouble begins, the tribulation after the dest of Jeru begins.
The end of the first 3 1/2 times (3 1/2t's). The beginning of the second 3 1/2t's.
(The first 3 1/2t's is from Babylon until 70 ad. The second 3 1/2t's is from 70 ad until Israel is restored to control of Jerusalem.) ( The 7 times are showing the same time as the statue in Dan. 2.)
--
70 ad- 96 ad, The 1/2 hour of silence.
--
96 ad approx., The giving of the Revelation to John and the 7 congregations. The scroll is opened. It is the story of the 2 witnesses (2w's)
96 ad until Israel is restored to Jerusalem (between the 5th and 6th trumpets), The 4 trumpets sound. They show the continuing withdrawing of God's blessings on the broken natural branches.
--
!929, The 5th trumpet, Rome returns as a nation. The beast is Rome, the iron Dan 2, and the 4th beast Dan. 7, the beast with 7 heads and 10 horns. The dragon also has 7 heads and 10 horns Rev 12.
The spirit of the dragon beast that comes of of the abyss wants to kill Israel and the gospel. He is the spirit of Caesar and the Bishop of Rome.
The beast returns to sit on the seat of the beast, Rome.
1967, Jerusalem restored to Israel. The times of the gentile trampling end Lk 21:24, 24. The end of the 4 trumpets. The second 3 1/2t's end. The statue of Daniel 2 ends. The 2 witnesses (Israel) are restored to Jerusalem, the sackcloth period ends. The woman in the wilderness of the gentile nations Rev 12, returns home to Jerusalem.
9/11/2001, The 6th trumpet sounds. The process of the Euphrates drying up (Saddam, the waters are people), making way for the army from the kings of the east (Iran), to attack Jerusalem begins. The 200 mill. man army begins to assemble (all those who hate Israel and support the cause).
The meaning of the story of the 2w's is finally revealed. It is Israel through the times of the gentiles until they are restored to Jerusalem and the rapt/resurrection unto salvation happens.
--
Yet to come,
The dragon iron beast Caesar BoR, will deceive Iran into attacking Israel and Jerusalem. With a treaty or support for the idea.
Armies from the kings of the east (Iran) and Magog (the gentile nations, Russia, Syria, etc.), meet in Armageddon.
Israel loses and Jerusalem falls.
The enemies of Israel celebrate, sends gifts, and rejoice.
3 1/2 days later,.......the 7th trumpet and this planet ends in fire.
