Revelations is Largely Chronological although the Rapture of the Church (the Great Multitude from every Tribe and Nation) is mentioned in several places.
The Rapture is before the Millennium (1000 Years of Peace)
The Church is raptured before the millennium. The nations are left behind to suffer God’s wrath. Some will survive to be the nations on Earth during the Millennium. The dead outside of Christ are not raised until after the millennium. They will be Judged at the Great White Throne.
The Bible speaks of the Premillennial return of Jesus Christ. The Church will be redeemed from the Earth before God pours out his Wrath on the unbelieving Nations of the Earth. God’s people will be persecuted for 1260 days (42 months / 3.5 years) leaving 75 days (1335 days minus 1260 days equals 75 days) for God to pour out his Wrath on the Nations.
There will be a small number of believers who are raptured before the great tribulation starts. These are the firstfruits of the harvest and are raptured pretribulation.
The Great Multitude are raptured before God pours out his wrath on the nations.
The seventh seal, the seventh trumpet and the seventh bowl all co-incide with with end of this age and the beginning of the millennium.
The bowls of God’s Wrath are poured out after the church has been raptured which is between the sixth and the seventh seal and trumpet.
Christ’s return is Pre-Millennial.
The Rapture of the Church (or the Harvest) is Pre-Wrath but not Pre-Tribulation.
Christ's return is premillennial
The Church is raptured prewrath - the Great Multitude of Believers will have to go thru the Great Tribulation and will be persecuted by the antichrist
Only the firstfruits escape the tribulation (there are two groups of 144000)
144000 Jews are sealed and protected from God's wrath
Christians will reign with Christ in Heaven during the Millennium
A remnant of Jews and Pagans survive God's wrath and repopulate Earth during the Millennium
At the end of the Millennium, the pagans are judged and God makes all things new
