Of course Revelation chapters 10 to 14, does mention things as concerns the middle of the great tribulation period, but there are exceptions.

Two examples are these:

Rev 12:6
(6)  And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

 

At the mid point of the tribulation the Antichrist shall persecute this woman, through of course Satan which is the dragon.

And this woman, which points to a remnant of Israel, shall have a place for them prepared of God, and shall be protected (Revelation 12:16) of God for the last part of the 7 year tribulation period which is 3 1/2 years or 1260 days.
 

Rev 11:3
(3)  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Now these two witnesses which God will send at the beginning of the 7 year tribulation, will prophesy for God, for the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation period, which brings them to the middle of the tribulation period.

And at the mid point, the Antichrist shall have them killed (Revelation 11:7-8), but in the overall, in chapters 10 to 14, it mainly refers to events at the mid point of tribulation, with certain exceptions of course, but especially after a certain manner.

Sorry, but you are mistaken: the two witnesses begin testifying right where John first mentions them. That will be 3 1/2 days before the abomination that divides the week into two halves: i.e. the MIDPOINT. They will testify for 1260 days, which will take them to 3 1/2 days before the 7th vial that ends the week. They will lay dead those 3 1/2 days, then rise up in the last day - probably with all the Old Testament saints will will rise at the same time. (Revelation 11: verse 4-13 or 14 are written as a parenthesis and have no bearing on chronology.)

It is this that Jesus mentions when He told people to flee: we see this fleeing in 12:6. Therefore 12:6 will be perhaps a second or two after the abomination. It is VERY MUCH a midpoint event.

The Antichrist will go after the woman AFTER the abomination event that divides the week. Not long after, but after.

Everything (except parentheses) written in chapter 11 through 14 are midpoint events.  But events in 14 may be some time after the abomination.
