Finally? You missed the entire story! 
John saw the throne and the Father on the throne, He saw the four Beasts, and He saw the 24 elders, but what he did NOT see was Jesus at the right hand of the Father. Take special note, because this book is HIS REVEALING!
Jesus asked me - I heard His words and His voice - He said that He had been back in heaven for years, and that there are over a dozen verses showing that He went to be at the right hand of the Father - and He reminded me that Stephen SAW HIM at the right hand of the Father. So He asked me, "why did John not immediately see me there?
Since Jesus is the One showing John the vision, we can know that John saw exactly what Jesus wanted Him to see - a throne room with Jesus NOT SEEN. (Don't just ahead and show me that Jesus showed up later! We must consider TIME. )
No, wrong. This is eisegesis again. It is the throne room. There is nothing special about it EXCEPT the main character is MISSING!
Then Jesus mentioned the fact that in chapter 5 the Holy Spirit was there - but He said that He would send Him down as soon as He ascended. He reminded me that He had been ascended for many years. So He asked: WHY was the Holy Spirit there in chapter 4?

When on patmos Jesus came down to John ( left the throne).
No big deal
THAT HIS AN EARTHY judgement ON the nations that ATTACK Israel and Jerusalem.
His final Judgment will be HIS JUDEMENT SEAT, and that is Spiritual. JUST BEFORE HE casts them in the Lake of Fire.
Here is your mistake, YOU DID NOT READ THE CONTEXT.
Zechariah 14:16-19 (HCSB)
16 Then all the survivors from the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, and to celebrate the Festival of Booths.
17 Should any of the families of the earth not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, rain will not fall on them.
18 And if the people of Egypt will not go up and enter, then rain will not fall on them; this will be the plague the LORD inflicts on the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Booths.
19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Booths.
You will closely note, Zechariah 14:16 & Isaiah 4:3-4 are "Parallel" readings of the same event, as Isaiah gives a clear account of those who are left, those who are found in the book of life, the final judgement has passed, eternity has begun "After" The Day Of The Lord
You will closely note in Isaiah 4:4 below, Jerusalem will be purged by the spirit of (Burning)
Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Only The Righteous Are Left, The Book Of Life "Was" Opened (Every One That Is Written Among The Living)
Zechariah 14:16KJV

Isaiah 4:3-4KJV
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 but it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the Lordshall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

The scripture below warns believers against this false teaching, and the walk on christ, Jesus Christ wont be found any place upon this earth.
However the (Antichrist/Beast/Man of Sin) will, proclaiming to be Messiah to the Jews in Jerusalem and Jesus Christ returned to the apostate church.
Believe It Not, Go Not Forth!
Matthew 24:23-27KJV
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

The Second Coming Is (The End) Not The Start Of A Millennial Kingdom on Earth
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end,
(Then Cometh The End)
(Death Is Swallowed Up In Victory)
1 Corinthians 15:21-24 & 51-54KJV
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Pre-trib rapture has to be taught before it's understood because the Bible doesn't clearly teach it. It relies on people not having a very firm biblical foundation before being indoctrinated into it. Once the snare is tight it blinds people with a pre-trib bias.
In this very thread we've witnessed pre-tribbers attempt to redefine greek words, say that God persecutes saints in the great tribulation, say that Christ returns 3 or 4 times, say God is going to bring back animal sacrifices for sin offerings, and call those who oppose them false Christians destined for hell. That's the kind of nonsense going on here. They flatly reject all God-given scripture that proves them wrong.
Once the pre-trib rapture is actually scrutinized with the Bible it becomes evident that there is no Biblical foundation for it. All honest studies about the great tribulation, return of Christ, rapture, day of wrath, resurrection can all be proven to occur at the time of Christ's return or shortly after.
Conclusively it's always been post-trib. Thats just the truth the Bible shows us.
In this very thread we've witnessed pre-tribbers attempt to redefine greek words, say that God persecutes saints in the great tribulation, say that Christ returns 3 or 4 times, say God is going to bring back animal sacrifices for sin offerings, and call those who oppose them false Christians destined for hell. That's the kind of nonsense going on here. They flatly reject all God-given scripture that proves them wrong.

Jesus Is Gonna Redeem The Earth, By (Fire)!

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
