Just because one can find the same word in two verses does not mean they are speaking of the same thing. What really happens when the 7th trumpet is sounded? First, the kingdoms of the world are taken from Satan and given to Jesus Christ. This tells us that before this time, Satan was the possessor of the kingdoms of the world. Paul confirmed this when he wrote that Satan is the "god of this world." Part of this mystery then would be to ask WHY HERE at this time? What has happened that would cause a change that has gone on since Adam? Second, Michael is told to go to war with Satan and take His wings away from him: confine him to earth. And this fits perfectly with Satan losing his throne as the god of this world. The mystery then may well be, HOW did Satan become the God of this world and remain in that position for 6000 years? Not sure what satans position in heaven or on earth has to do with the timing of the rapture???? But satan was allowed by God to have limited dominion on this planet.. For a time.. Long enough for Gods will to be fulfilled in regard to this world and in regard to humanity and the Angels.. The world and the human race is akin to Job and just as satan was given permission by God to test Job within controlled limits so does satan have permission to put humanity as a whole to the test so as to draw away from the truth those who have no love for the truth but have love for unrightiousness..

Satan's position as god of this world has nothing to do with the time of the rapture. But you pointed to one of Paul's mysteries: Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. Sorry, but that mystery of the rapture has nothing to do with the mystery at the 7th trumpet. In other words, two different mysteries for two different purposes and they are about two different times. I agree with the rest of your post.
