After the 144,000 are sealed (Rev 7), the 7th Seal is broken (Rev 8:1-2), releasing the 7 Trumpets. This coincides with the start of Daniel's 70th Week, and the start of the ministry of the 2 witnesses, who announce the first 6 Trumpets in advance from the Temple. The 7th Trumpet is at Mid-Tribulation.

After the Rapture is an unknown time-period before Daniel's 70th Week begins with Israel's covenant with antichrist, enabling her to have her 3rd Temple in the first half of the Tribulation. We see God's Purpose for this Temple, especially the key role of the 2 witnesses, who announce the first 6 Trumpets.

In Revelation 6, Christ breaks the first 6 Seals in quick succession, initiating the Tribulation Judgments, by withdrawing God's restraining grace from the 6 main realms of the world-system. The Seals are not one-off events, but are Birth-Pains that continue and intensify until the Kingdom is born at Christ's Return.

Revelation 4:1 marks the start of the things that will take place after the Church Age. John is taken to Heaven and into the future to the start of the Tribulation. He sees 24 elders (representing the resurrected and raptured Church), and the Lamb, about to open the Scroll with 7 Seals (the Title Deed of the earth) - the key to Revelation 6-19.
