What's going to happen as your first sign is on Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015, the 1st day of Daniel's final seven of 2,520 days, a couple million people will vanish to "before the throne" (Rev. 7.9) in 3rd heaven before the 1st trumpet (8.7) commences.

You would likely rationalize it as a fake rapture, some great hoax or magic trick. Even many in Christendom will write it off because they did not treat the first rapture according to readiness. They assumed either the whole Church would be raptured before the Tribulation or at the end of the Tribulation. Since most in Christendom are amillennial any rapture is strictly forbidden, and they reject the Jesus who returns to reign on earth for 1000 years.

So picture yourself on the other side of Sept. 14, 2015. There you are in the Tribulation, not accepting that it is, and the earth is greatly being hurt in the first half of the Tribulation (ch. 8). The Vatican is nuked (see ch. 8, 14.8 and 17.16) and there is chaos in the world but WW III has not yet broken out.

What follows is the Great Tribulation of 1260 days starting Feb. 25, 2019. The first 5 months (1st woe) men who have the mark of the beast get sores. In the 2nd woe starting July 25, 2019, over the next 13 months 200 million military units (Rev. 9.16) congregate in the middle east over oil. And 1/3 of the people of earth die in nuclear holocaust (v.18).

What remains are 24 months beginning Aug. 18-20, 2020 of the 3rd woe in which people still refuse to repent even after all this that has taken place. At the start of this 3rd woe the general rapture and resurrection (11.15, 15.2-4) takes place of those who are alive and left on the planet who are saved (1 Thess. 4.14-18) as the saints are not appointed unto to the bowls of wrath that make up the last trumpet.

Jesus then steps down at the end of the 2,520 days (Aug. 7, 2022) to judge the nations, kill those who take the mark of the beast and destroys the goat nations for 30 days from the 1260th to the 1290th day then sets up Israel as the center of all nations from the 1290th to the 1335th day (Oct. 21, 2022) from where He will reign in the 3rd Temple for 1000 years before the New City and New Earth start.

Jesus is coming, get ready!
