These following signs have ALL READY occurred, among others. Also please note that there are MANY more second coming signs than a “seventh seal” or “sixth seal” perspective. According to the words of Jesus himself (Mathew 24) there is only one major thing left to happen: the second siege upon Jerusalem (“abomination of desolation”).

I personally suspect Jesus is all ready visiting with people, not necessarily the Church leaders, in the temple in the flesh. It’s just a feeling though.
Signs are not meant to be predicted, interpreted or time-lined, they are meant to be understood after the fact. You waste a lot of time and effort on the book of revelation, which has very little to do with the second coming. Since you seem so interested though, I recommend reading “The Revelation of John the Apostle” (2016) by Richard D. Draper and Michael D. Rhodes. It’s part of the Brigham Young University New Testament Commentary. BUT, if you are really interested in the signs of the second coming, you should use Mathew 24 as the timeline, it’s literally a second coming checklist given by Jesus himself.
