Note: Birth Pains happen before the Tribulation. Bad shit in greater frequency.
There are 3 Rapture Theories (Pre, Mid, End) so consider that a variable anytime seen in a timeline.
Ezekiel 38 war could be before or during the tribulation.
The Tribulation starts with a "Treaty Of The Many". Believed to be a big Treaty / Agreement with Israel and her neighbors.
Israel rebuilds the temple for the Antichrist to inhabit during the middle of the Tribulation.

I have heards hundreds of interpretations involving the timeline in which all these events occur.
Our perception of time is also different from Gods in a sense that we have an A to Z mentality regarding time. I took a look at revelation as if all these events sort of intertwined. Not an A-Z look but imagine tye letters in the alphabet are all a single representation of the events in revelation prophecy. Now imagine throwing all the letters into the air and them landing all out of order, but still together. Our perception of time is an illusion in and of itself. So, what if all these events cannot be put into a chronological order?
I have been in many conversations, even at a collegiate level, about end times prophecy. And I have had my mind blown over and over again by people piecing together these seemingly perfect timelines and interpretations. Tge types of timelines and interpretations that some people spend their whole lives formulating out "according to the scriptures." Brillaint works on the subject. Each one the same, but different, and each one as plausible as the next.
To say, the end isn't upon us because this has happened yet, or that hasn't happened yet is too easy.
Nothing I've learned about God, and the way he works is "easy" or that simple. It's usually a mind blowing experience to actually see how the Lord works. In my experiences it's always what I least expected.
I think taking the approach of not being fixated on things happening in any certain chronological order is wise. Prophecy never unfolds in an A-Z 123 fashion.
If things were to unfold in a way that was easily distinguished and recognizable then it would be too easy. I would think.
I'm not certain we're in the tribulation or not, but it does seem we are a lot further along in that prophecy than most people would think.
