Luke 21:35;
Revelation 6:12-17]
The purpose: to pressure a remnant part of Israel for turning [the Lord will confirm His covenant with the "many" .... the believing remnant part of His nation during the 70th week decreed ....

Daniel 9:24-27 [the Messiah Prince]] [
Jeremiah 30;
Daniel 12]; and to punish the unbelieving nations of the gentiles [
Psalms 2]
This predetermined event will last for 2550 days and all of it will be a time of unprecedented confusion, vexation, upheaval, and destruction [1260 days + 1260 days + 30 days]
The judgment events involved during the count down of 2550 days will not begin until the 144,000 believing mortal Israelites are sealed for protection from the wiles of the tribulation period [
Revelation 7:1-3]
These first believers [first fruits] of the tribulation period of the children of Israel will preach the gospel of the Lord’s coming millennial kingdom throughout the 2550 days of tribulation and they will be impervious to any effects of the Lord’s judgments, and He will lead them, but He will not be seen by the earth dwellers during their witness [

Once sealed, the tribulation will role and the first 6 trumpets will sound in rapid fire action setting the backdrop of the period: [

The destruction of the great city [burning mountain-kingdom] of the gentles [1-4]

Revelation 14:8; 17:16-18; 18:1-21; 19:1-3]
This judgment from the Lord will bring the great city to its ending and it will never rise again [
Revelation 8:8; 18:21] and the cities of the nations will reel in the aftermath because of their dependency upon this colossal economic giant and significant market place of the earth [
Revelation 18:3; 18:7; 18:9-19]
This destruction will come in one day and by Satan, his beast in the little horn [a king of the northern Middle East] of Daniel’s visions, and 10 other Middle Eastern kings [
Revelation 17:16-18]
It is the Lord who will instigate this attack to destroy the great city and for the beast and the 10 kings to fulfill His will [
Revelation 17:17]
The 144,000 Israelites will begin their mission just after their sealing, and once sealed the judgments of the tribulation will roll [this will be the beginning of the 2550 days]

Revelation 14:8] and once out of the way, the beast and his 10 kings will proceed to subdue and dominate the earth [

All contenders of opposition including Israel will not succeed against their ambitions [
Jeremiah 30:6-8;
Daniel 11:40; 11:44;
Zechariah 14:1-2 ]
The beast in the little horn will confederate the Middle East by making alliances and by conquering, fend off opposition from the south, east, and north, and by invading and occupying Israel, Jerusalem, and the temple mount by the middle of the tribulation period [first 1260 days [
Daniel 7:7-25; 8:9-12; 8:23-25; 11:36-44; 12:7]]; the beast will then rule unopposed for 42 months [the second 1260 days [
Daniel 12:8-11;
Revelation 11:2; 13:5;]]
The believing remnant of Israel residing in the land will have to flee at the middle of the tribulation period [70th week decreed of 2520 days] for protection by the Lord for the second 1260 days when the beast and his followers invade and occupy Israel [
Ezekiel 38:8;
Daniel 9:26-27 [the other prince]; 12:11;
Zechariah 14:4-5;

During this 42 month period [second 1260 days] the beast and his followers will hunt down and kill as many on the earth as he can reach who will not submit to him and worship him as a “god” [
Revelation 13:15]
But his rule will be cut short [the 7th trumpet will begin to sound] and the Lord will turn on him and his kingdom of followers and destroy them in the next 30 days culminating at Armageddon [

Revelation 10:7; 11:15; 14:14-20; 15:6-7; 16:1-17; 19:11-21]
During this 30 day period the Lord will revisit the land mass where the great city once stood and break it into thirds by the greatest worldwide earthquake know to mankind and all of the other cities of the gentile nations will fall [
Ezekiel 38:18-20;
Revelation 16:19]
The Lord will then gather the mortal survivors of the tribulation period and separate them, and those found believing will enter and populate His millennial kingdom on the earth [
Matthew 24:29-31 [the believing remnant part of Israel]]; 25:31-46 [the believing sheep of the gentile nations]]
