If we consider the seven Bowl Judgements, then the first, second, third, fourth and fifth recorded Bowl Judgements, occurs after Rev 13, and the people who have taken Satan's mark, (Rev 16:2b) "and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.", yet those who worshipped the Beast and have taken his mark will not repent even though they will experience the first five bowl judgements towards the end of the last age, i.e. the "Millennium" age.
The timing of the Judgement of the nations on the earth at Armageddon and the Wicked fallen heavenly hosts in heaven will occur in the last year or so of this present age, (Isa 24:21-22), with those who are found wanting of the kings of the earth and the heavenly hosts, being gather together and imprisoned in a pit for many days to await their time of punishment.
At the end of this present age following the 2,300 years of the Gentiles trampling the Sanctuary of God and His earthly Hosts, the Israelites, at Armageddon, all of Israel will be saved, and God will gather them to Himself, cleanse them by sprinkling them with water, plant them in the fertile field which Christ owns, where the seeds will yield up to a hundred fold on the head of each plant that grows into maturity, and teach them on the religion that comes down out of heaven a the foundational premise of the religion that grows from this rock to become the highest mountain, i.e. religion, on all of the earth such that by the blood of the saints all of the other mountains, i.e. religions, will be brought low such that they will be washed away into the oceans of the earth such that they will no longer prevail on the earth.
Then after the 1,000 years of imprisonment of the judged kings of the earth and the wicked heavenly host of heaven in the "pit" when the pit will be unlocked for a little while period, Satan, the beast and the false Prophet, will attempt to establish their false religion on the earth, but it to will be overcome by the Blood of Christ and they will be captured during the little while period of the "Millennium Age," and all three will end up in the Lake of First.
It is during this little while period, that the last week of years will occur and Satan will establish his solemn covenant with many at that time but after three and a half years he will break his covenant and bring much hardship upon the earth.
I do not have to establish any scripture to confirm any of the Pre, Mid, Post or Pan or Short Tribulation theology as the scripture clearly tells us that those who are still alive at the end of the last Age will have to press in to God and fully trust Him for His promises to protect them from falling up to the time of Christ's appearance in the heavens with all of the Heavenly Host, where the righteous will rise up to be with the Lord from that point in time onwards.
I am secure in the promises of the Lord, even though Satan brings hoards of his "disciples" against me, I will fear not, even when I am cause to walk through the valley of the second death, God will protect me and bring me into His banqueting hall for all the time after that.
If we do not put our timeline in the order of when they will happen, we will always be searching for how we will be protected and kept safe by God. In other words we will doubt His scriptures and fall away unless we are strong in our faith and belief in Him.
Whether we should suffer of died for His Glory to be see is not ours to fight against because w e know that He will preserve us until the end of the Age of the Ages and into all of Eternity.
Shalom
