Thank you so much for this very clear presentation of the pre-wrath view and its comparison to other views. I too am convinced that this view is the best understanding of the events surrounding the coming of our Lord.

I would offer one adjustment to your discussion for consideration. The fourth seal and rider may fit better before the mid-point and the revealing of the Anti-Christ. The suffering of the fourth seal seems to cause a betrayal and a falling away (the apostasy) which leads to the Anti-Christ taking charge,which results in the 5th seal being broken, which is "the great tribulation" resulting in many martyrs. This adjustment would mean that the four horsemen represent the "birth pangs" before the travail of the tribulation.
