I don't know but I know what I always thought was in scripture is not there.
Like I said read this passage and see if you can find where we sit down and eat.
1. God has no reason to put His bride through Hell.
2. God has every reason to wrap things up with Israel and rebellious mankind using His wrath.
3. Seven years in Heaven serves a very practical purpose for the Church: meet Jesus, meet friends and relatives, see mansions, marriage supper of the Lamb, prepare for Battle of Armageddon, prepare for responsibilities in coming administration on Earth.
Your logic seems flawless but it is still man's logic, scripture is silent here so we have to be careful not add to or subtract from it.
We can step back but the picture isn't fully revealed so we don't know and that is the problem, man has tried to complete the picture God partial revealed using man's logic and imagination and what we have produced is a picture that doesn't fully match the picture God has partially revealed.
