There are many misconstrued views on the timeline of the ET's and the events that will occur during this period.
What you quoted from my post above is a statement of the overview of the End Times. In our near future we will see the judgement of the nations at the place know as Armageddon as described in Rev 16:12-16 and which is the sixth bowl judgement. The bowl judgments are given in an order that is look at the final bowl judgment, Bowl one, that occurs very near to the end of the Age of the Ages and the rest of the bowl judgments are looked at from that point in time as John traces his steps backwards in time.
Thank you for sharing, but I see an oversight in your application of that one verse in Revelation 16:15 that you may want to reconsider in your application. Sometimes the Lord will interject a saying that is not consistent for what is being shared. Matthew 13:33 is such an example which happens to be the shortest parable concerning the kingdom of heaven but being made up of 3 harvests before He gives the kingdom back to the Father.
In any event, I can understand your reluctance to see that as an interjection to remind readers to be ready to avoid all that is coming, but I do point out that not everything in Revelation is being given to us in chronological order either, just as Matthew 24th chapter is not, when Jesus is answering 3 kinds of questions put to Him by His disciples from at the beginning of the chapter. Proof is found in Revelation 18:1-24 which the fall of Babylon is an event described in detail but it happens by the announcement of the 2nd angel of the 3 that sets up the hour of temptation that shall try all upon the earth in Revelation 14:6-11. The 1st angel, everyone will have heard and know the everlasting gospel and the third angel after that calamity of Babylon and the third of the earth ( which has to be the western hemisphere in order for the prophesy about the rest of the world's armies cited to be marching unto Jerusalem at the end of the great tribulation ) announces so that everyone will know the consequence for taking the mark of the beast which is the lake of fire. That is the setting up of the hour of temptation coming on the earth since the 2 nd angel is why the new world order is coming with the mark of the beast system to buy and sell in order to survive in that coming "great tribulation" period.
Anyway, that is an example of how events in Revelation are not in chronological order. And the reason I treat Revelation 16:15 as an interjection to remind believers to be ready is how that same reminder is given at the end of the Book of Revelation.
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
And that reminder to be ready was announced at the beginning where the call given to be ready in how the events will unfold quickly for the set up of the hour of temptation that shall try all upon the earth as well as the events during the great tribulation;
Revelation 1:1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him,
to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. 4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
Now for this one church at Thyatira to be ready or else be cast into the bed of the great tribulation of verse 22 in Revelation 2:18-29 suggests churches and individual believers that are ready will not be cast into the bed of the great tribulation, otherwise the warning falls flat.
Now for the church at Philadelphia to be ready by holding fast is to be kept from the hour of temptation that shall try all upon the earth in Revelation 3:7-13 suggests they will not come under that hour of temptation that shall try all upon the earth which means they are not on earth and the consequence for not holding fast is to be subjected to that hour of temptation that shall try all upon the earth.
So Revelation 16:15 to be found ready or else is seen by me as an interjection for the readers from the beginning of the Book of Revelation to the end since the voice of the bride and Bridegroom will no longer be heard in Babylon any more per the event of Revelation 18:23-24 which occurred in Revelation 14:8 in setting up that hour of temptation that shall try all upon the earth, it is because the Bridegroom had come and gone and God has indeed, judged His House first at the pre great tribulation rapture event, leaving behind saved saints found in iniquity that will be resurrected later after the great tribulation as vessels unto dishonor in His House to serve the King of kings for the millennium reign on earth.
I do thank you for sharing your P.O.V. and you may still keep to it after that lengthy explanation for why I disagree with your P.O.V. but since we prophesy in part and know in part, we shall know one day when we see Him face to face.
But the call to be ready or else is being given to the churches and it would be moot, if it was for them to be ready for the end of the great tribulation when the world's armies are marching unto Jerusalem because the Lord is coming, and yet no man suppose to know the day nor the hour of His coming? So, no. The Book of Revelations and all His warnings in the N.T. are for believers now to avoid the consequences for not being ready.
If one question I would ask you is this; when will God judge His House first as per 1 Peter 4:17-19 ?
1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
I can apply all the words in this reference that the Lord will keep the souls of His saints left behind that will suffer to die in the calamity of fire on the third of the earth and for the remainder and new believers to suffer the coming hour of temptation which is the time of the great tribulation on earth.
