Not accurate. Chapter 19 flows clearly into chapter 20. The birds are feasting on the kings of the earth at the end of chapter 19 and then beginning in chapter 20 an angel binds Satan. So it is not an overview of past events.

This is the point where folks ask the question “is the translation of the elect/church a resurrection ‘event.’ Does not matter if you are a pre, mid or post tribulation adherent of translation or rapture...all three views must maintain based on Revelation 19-20 that the bride in Revelation 19 already have resurrected glorified bodies. If not you are faced with allegory and have to depart a literal interpretation.

You are attempting to make a detailed schedule out of an overview!

The resurrection is what you are calling a “translation” which is nowhere in God’s word.

We will literally be given a new birth in a body suitable for the realm of the Father, and it will be just exactly as Paul explained it. There is no pre-trib rapture, and as John 3:13 says, NO MAN HAS ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN.

The dead in him will be first, then the living, at the last trump, which is the exact end of Satan’s tribulation of the saints. Satan is not bound at this point, that happens after the battle which happens when we return with him to Earth.

The ideas you offer are all man made, not in any way in agreement with the word (all of the word, not some clipped verses, or clipped chapters either)

You have to accept the word as written. Rev 15:1-4 describes the scene immediately after the first resurrection, “those that had obtained victory over the beast and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name.” How did they get there? - Go back one more chapter. At ch 14:1-5 we see that those that were faithful to Yehova and to the Lamb have been redeemed out from among men.

How does this fit your imagined time table for chapter 19?
