I’m arguing against inconsistency, not necessarily my position. Let’s start with the revelation argument and work backward.
Chronologically, The trumpets are given to the angels AFTER the 7th seal is opened. However, Davidpt “interprets” that the trumpets are actually parallel to seals.
Are we on the same page here so far?
In my view, it is during the 6th seal, for example, when the 7th trumpet sounds and the wrath of God, the DOTL begins. Therefore, in my view the 7th seal is simply setting the stage for the first 6 seals and the 7 trumpets. Otherwise, how does one logically go from the 7th seal to that of the first trumpet, then to the 6th seal and that of the 7th trumpet? That is mathematically absurd.
Once you get to seal 6, 7 trumpet judgment will have been fulfilled
Let's look at this from another angle. Let's look at it from vial 1.
Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image
According to Revelation 13 there is no mark to take or not take until a first beast ascends out of the sea, a 2nd one out of the earth, and that the 2nd one fulfills Revelation 13:13-18.
By placing vial 1 during trumpet 1 is to then place the 42 month reign of the beast prior to trumpet 1. Yet is is not until the 6th trumpet that the time of the 42 month reign of the beast becomes relevant.
Obviously, God is not pouring His wrath on anyone in Revelation 16:2 before they are even doing these things first. Obviously, everyone doing these things have to all be alive at the same time and being doing these things at the same time. Otherwise, we end up with absurd nonsense that the first vial is being poured out on someone in the 16th century, the 17th century, so on and so on.
Except that is not logical, thus not reasonable. They all have to be alive at the same time since it is absurd that the first vial is poured out hundreds or thousands of different times spanning hundreds or thousands of years.
Here's another angle to look at this from.
Revelation 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Does it sound reasonable, that if 5 of the last seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God, have already been poured out on them, thet they are then going to find a moment to rejoice and find something to be happy about?
They are not rejoicing because the last 7 vials of wrath ended with vial 5 during the 5th trumpet. They never began to begin with. They are rejoicing because the 6 trumpet judgments stopped once the 2Ws are destroyed, per their view, they thinking they have silenced them for good. Except the worst is yet to come. And that is trumpet 7 and the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. IOW, the beginning of the DOTL.
The first 6 trumpet judgments and the plagues they produce can be explained per the following.
Revelation 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
Thus was tormenting those upon the earth via the 2ws unleashing these plagues throughout trumpets 1-6. Except trumpet 6 is not the end of the plagues. It is only the end of the plagues involving trumpets 1-6. And like I said, the worst is yet to come, meaning the 7th trumpet which then leads to the 7 vials of wrath per Revelation 16.
