Matt 24 is not chronological whereas Revelation is. Matt 24 is not chronological.

If your interpretation is right then Matthew 24 is not in chronological order. We do not know the day or the hour of the rapture or the second coming either.

I don’t think Revelation is in chronological order. “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished.” After the seventh trumpet, it jumps back. “Thou must prophesy again.”

I can see more than one possibility in many cases. I think it is possible that “ the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ” (Rev. 11:15) is the second coming.

A few thoughts, not for debate, more for your consideration, as you hopefully move away from fleshly strife and more towards the peace of the Spirit in learning HIS word as you will be blessed in doing so.

Jesus, the author and finisher of Revelation stated that the book was a timeline when he said,

Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter

Rev. 1:19.

So the book is introduced as a timeline (chronological) - past, present, and future.

When he wrote he book, John had seen a revelation of Jesus (Chapt. 1) - past.

When he wrote the book, John was in the "church age" (Chapt. 2-3) - present.

The "rapture", Daniel's 70th week, and Jesus' millennial reign and beyond were all "the things which shall be hereafter" (Chapt. 4-22) - future.

Chapt. 4 opens with a startling event:

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew you things which must be hereafter.

Rev 4:1

Is this not the rapture where "the trump will sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (1 Cor. 15:52)? Notice before Rev 4:1 the church was on the earth, but after this verse the church is only seen in Heaven.

Chapt 6 begins Daniels' 70th week - exactly seven years. By careful and prayerful reading of Matt. 24:4-35, you can map and lay that portion of Matthew, which IS chronological, over Revelation Chapt. 6-19, beginning with Jesus first words in Matt,

Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Matt. 24:4-5.

Overlayed with the first thing seen in Revelation Chapt. 6,

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Rev. 6:2

Astonishingly, almost as a fulfilment of this prophecy, many today erroneously think that the guy on the white horse ("white horse" - he's a good guy, right?) is Christ when in fact he is the deceiver Jesus warned about.

Much more, but that's a good start. I hope to write a book someday about all of this that I hope will be informative, edifying, extortive, comforting, and hopefully enjoyable as we see the day fast approaching.
