The book of Revelation is not written in chronological order from chapter 6 on to begin with. Chapters 1-3 have nothing to do with chronology.
But your comments raise another point, that being the diversity of thought with the post-trib camp. As the chart depicts, some believe the tribulation (which begins at the Abomination of Desolation, half-way through the seven final years and is not a seven year tribulation) is actually cut short significantly and that the wrath mentioned in
Matthew 24:29 actually takes several months to complete with the rapture happening before-hand. Personally, I do not see how that fits with Christ depicting the elect being gathered while these things are happening.
