It seems you buzzed right past my explanation [with Scriptures] of the correlation of:
--the ARRIVAL of "the Day of the Lord [time period]" at the INITIAL "birth PANG [SINGULAR; 1Th5:2-3]" (which is FOLLOWED by MANY MORE "birth PANGS [PLURAL]" that Jesus referred to in His Olivet Discourse)
--the "ARRIVAL/advent/presence/parousia " of "the man of sin" IN HIS TIME; "whose coming" 2Th2:9a (equaling Dan9:27a[26]--"for ONE WEEK [7-yrs]")
--"G5100 - tis - 'a certain one'" (INITIAL "birth PANG [SINGULAR]"), Matt24:4 / Matt13:5
--SEALS="the beginning of birth PANGS [PLURAL]," so that SEAL #1 is the INITIAL "birth PANG [SINGULAR]" at the BEGINNING of the time period known as "the Day of the Lord" (i.e. the "whose coming/arrival/advent/parousia" of "the man of sin IN HIS TIME, i.e. Dan9:27a[26]--the rider of the white horse with "a bow" [which oftentimes refers to "DECEPTION" in OT references; see also again 2Th2:9 and Dan9:27[26].])
--etc... (I've run out of time for the moment, though I DID mention, in passing, the evidence of 2520 days [7-yrs of 360 days] between SEAL #1 and His Rev19 "RETURN" to the earth)
[Matt22:7,8 SEQUENCE also (70ad events AND THEN 95ad writings of "The Revelation"), correlating with what is stated in Rev1:1 "future and IN QUICKNESS [NOUN]"]

People need to realize heresy is a LOT more than syncretistic Catholic practices with tribal religions.
The first heresies are dealt with in the Bible. Paul criticizes the Judasizers in Gal. 1 John is written to counter antinominism.
Then in the second century, the Gnostic heresy. Moving into the 3rd and 4th century, the major issue on the deity of Christ. Arius challenged the churches to prove Jesus was God, and they took him up on it.
Then there was Marcinianism, Pelagianism and semi-Pelagianism and Sabellianism and so many more. Things got stuck in the Middle Ages, because the Church took over the power to decide doctrine, totally. Things stayed more or less the same, although there were people, like Richard Victor, Boethius and Anslem, who carved some new doctrines. Of course, those weren't heresy, and in fact, by the 15th century, it was the Catholic Church that really was full of heresies.
Today, there are process theologians and open theists, who push the envelope about God far past where it should be. Add to that the Unitarians and their compadres the Universalists, and you have the foundation of humanism in Europe breaking out of certain philosophical traditions, such as Nietschze and his nilihlsm
There are 2 good ways to avoid heresy. The most important it to read the Bible from cover to cover over and over. God will teach you through his word. It wouldn't hurt to study theology and learn all the orthodox doctrines, but also the heresies that have been judged and condemned over the centuries.

I specifically referred solely to the phrase "the ages [PLURAL] of the ages [PLURAL]" and not to the word "age [SINGULAR]" (for example "the end [singular] of the age [singular]" which [specific time frame] concludes at the time of His Second Coming to the earth, at which point "the age [singular] to come" will then commence [i.e. the promised and prophesied earthly Millennial Kingdom, at the time of His "RETURN" to the earth, per Rev19 [Rev16:14-16, Rev19:15b, Isa24:21-23, Lk12:36-37,38,40,42-44 and Lk19:12,15,17,19 and all of the parallels to these... so many more!]).
They are completely distinct references, so to bring in references about "age [singular]" is to confuse the matter.
Rev20:10's "unto the ages [PLURAL] of the ages [PLURAL]" correlates with Gal1:5 and Phil4:20 and Rev1:18... etc (meaning, forever---->). [compare Acts 13:33 with Ps2]
Those being judged at the GWTj are the "unsaved/unrighteous dead" of all times.

No. What I mean is, that Daniel 70 weeks are long since done, ever since AD 34, Acts 7 and the stoning of Stephen, see Hebrews 2:3; Romans 15:8.
The first 5 seals in Revelation are already long since past (except for the second portion of Seal 5, the second group of martyrs coming connected with the mark of the beast and seal of God, Revelation 20:4) and we are in the midst of Seal 6 already, even between vs 13 and 14.
The "man of sin" has already been here a thousand years. Been sitting in Rome a long time ...
As I stated there is no "7 year tribulation" scripture. People have to borrow, incorrectly from that which is already completed in Daniel (and a few other places) as I may shown in some detail. Not in this thread.
