I have been thinking on this thread all day.
I need to familiarize myself with those chapters again, because one thing occurred to me, but I want to get my thoughts straight.
The earthquake is actually a great tie-in to putting the gog/magog at the AOD.
Another part is where God says Israel will know that He is there God (veil being lifted?) and I am sure that at the 3.5 mark of the Trib the Jews flee to safety and the 144,000 will start their preaching.
But I have to refresh my mind on the timeline of events.
