Scripture teaches the church will be on earth to witness the second coming, you have the removal prior to the plagues?
The New Testament teaches that Jesus will appear in the clouds and send out His angels to gather His elect.

The Revelation teaches that at the close of the 42 months, when the two witnesses have been killed, this will happen:

Revelation 11
11 And after three days and a half, a spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. And great fear fell on those seeing them.
12 And they heard a great voice from Heaven saying to them, Come up here. And they went up to Heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.

In both 1 Corinthians 15 and Revelation 11, it leads to the sounding of the last trumpet

1 Corinthians 15
52 in a moment, in a glance of an eye, at the last trumpet. For a trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.

1 Thessalonians 4
16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first.
17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall ever be with the Lord.
18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

So the rapture will not occur before the resurrection of the two witnesses and the others who had died in Christ, and the two witnesses will not be resurrected before the great tribulation of the saints at the hand of the beast

Revelation 16
2 And the first went and poured out his vial on the earth. And a bad and grievous sore fell on the men who had the mark of the beast, and on those who worshiped his image.

The saints will not have the mark of the beast.

Revelation 16
4 And the third angel poured out his vial on the rivers and fountains of waters, and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Righteous is the Lord, who is, and was, and who will be, because You have judged these things,
6 since they have poured out the blood of the saints and prophets; and You gave them blood to drink, for they were deserving.
7 And I heard another out of the altar saying, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.

I asked you this question twice before, but you flatly ignored it, and still have not answered it.

Whose blood was shed by those who are counted worthy to receive the plague of blood?

I agree with your post except you have the beast running around killing Christian's, it's going to be the opposite

When the two Witnesses bring Gods plagues, the wicked world will worship at the feet if believers

Revelation 3:9-10KJV
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

God protects the church during the earth's hour of temptation, just like the passover in Egypt, enter the dwelling and shut the door

Isaiah 26:20-21KJV
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

At no time do I deny God prepared Martyrs in the church, and this will be in the future also, believers are being persecuted and Martyred presently

However the Sci-Fi teachings of Tim Lahaye in the Left Behind series are unfounded, the two witnesses will rule the tribulation not the beast as many teach and believe

Revelation 13:5-9 KJV
5) And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6) And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7) And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9) If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Who does the beast kill in Revelation 11?

Who does the beast overcome in Revelation 13:1-10? And for how long?

Who is killed for their refusal to worship the beast in Revelation 13:11-18?

Into whose hand will the saints be given in Daniel 7:24, and for how long?

Whose power is being scattered in Daniel 12:7? And for how long?

Will anyone be resurrected before the dead in Christ rise from the dead according to Paul?

The verses below are "Parallel" teachings of the same event, the saints in Revelation 13:7 represent the two witnesses, not the church as many claim

Revelation 11:7KJV
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

Revelation 13:7KJV
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

It will be the desire of the beast to kill all that dont receive the mark or worship the image, just as it was his desire to kill Job
Just as it was Nebuchadnezzar desire to burn the three in the furnace

Should Be Killed, Not Shall Be Killed

Revelation 13:15KJV
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

Well answered.

What about in this verse

And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and plot to change times and laws. And they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and one-half time.? (Daniel 7:25)

The holy people in old testament writings are referred to as Israel/Jews as seen in the verse below

Deuteronomy 7:6KJV
6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

27 And the kingdom and rulership, and the greatness of the kingdom under all the heavens, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. And all kingdoms shall serve and obey Him.

Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13:7 are parallel teachings, speaking of the two witnesses/Saints

Will anyone be resurrected before the dead in Christ rise from the dead according to Paul?
There is one future resurrection of all that have lived, the dead in Christ shall rise first

(THE SECOND COMING, LAST DAY RESURRECTION)

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17KJV
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

(THE LAST DAY RESURRECTION)

John 5:28-29KJV
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth
; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

John 6:39-40KJV
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

(THE LAST DAY JUDGEMENT)

John 12:48KJV
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
