THINGS TO CONSIDER FIRST:

• History is Prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10)
• And prophetic events, like history, often repeat themselves.
• Who is Daughter Babylon?

The book of Revelation provides a road-map with sign posts that give us clues to the timing of Daughter Babylon's ultimate destruction. Revelation 14:8-9 first depicts this destruction. Looking at Revelation 7 and 14, the thematic context seems to indicate chapter 14 is expounding upon chapter 7. Both chapters start with the sealing of the 144,000 in Jerusalem, apparently after the great earthquake of the 6^th Seal and prior to the arrival of the Beast at the 5^th Trumpet. 

• 1^st Seal (Revelation 6:1-2) - White Horse, a counterfeit of Revelation 19's White Horse. Likely the Roman Catholic Church, which has conquered many nations with a religious system of mixed-worship not intended or prescribed by Messiah Yeshua (appr. 300 AD/CE to present day).
• 2^nd Seal (Revelation 6:3-4) - Red Horse, given a Great Sword. Likely represented by the sword of Islam and the red of Communism and Nazism. At least 70 million slaughtered during World War II. See article WWII Casualties (appr. 600 AD/CE to present day).
• 3^rd Seal (Revelation 6:5-6) - Black Horse, with a pair of scales. Likely the development of international banking which has effectively enslaved much of mankind (appr. 1000 CE to present day).  
• 4^th Seal (Revelation 6:7-8) - Pale-Green Horse, named Death and sent to destroy 1/4th of the world population.  The Bubonic Plague (Black Death) is estimated to have killed about 75 million worldwide, easily a fourth of mankind. There have been ongoing plague, famine, and disease ever since. See article Black Death (appr. 1300 AD/CE to present day).
• 5^th Seal (Revelation 6:9-11) - Martyrs wake up in Heaven, told to go back to sleep for a little while longer. Not the start of persecution because such has been happening since before the 1^st Seal. It is an event in Heaven, not necessarily visible to us on Earth.
• 6^th Seal - Great Earthquake / Pole Shift / Planet-X (Revelation 6:12-17).
• 7^th Seal - 144,000 first-fruits sealed at Mt. Zion (Revelation 7:1-8; 14:1-5); probably during the half-hour of silence before the 1^st Trumpet sounds (Revelation 8:1).
  • Fire from Altar thrown to Earth. There were "noises, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake" (Revelation 8:3-5).
  • Good News and warning of Judgment preached to all dwelling on Earth (Revelation 14:6-7).
• 1^st through 4^th Trumpets > Largely ramifications of Wormwood / Planet-X and the passing thru the Galactic equinox (Revelation 8:7-13).
  
  • Daughter Babylon falls after 6th Seal but before the 5th Trumpet, when the Mark of the Beast is issued (Revelation 14:8-9).
• 5^th Trumpet (1^st Woe) > Beast's arrival > coming to power.
  • 144,000 preaching in the nations (Revelation 14:10); immune to death (Revelation 9:4).
  • "The Woman" flees from Zion/Jerusalem to the wilderness of Edom/Moab (Revelation 12:6; Daniel 11:41).
  • Mark of the Beast issued.
  • Time of great persecution > Great Tribulation > final 42 months begin.
• 6^th Trumpet (2^nd Woe) > Red / Blue / Yellow army slaughters 1/3 of mankind (Revelation 9:13).
  • 7 Thunders > words hidden (Revelation 10:1-4).
  • Ends w/ Great Earthquake; 10^th of Jerusalem falls (Revelation 11:13-14).
  • Secret of 7Thunders revealed just before 7th Trumpet (Revelation 10:7).
• 7^th Trumpet (3^rd Woe) > Mother Babylon destroyed in one day (Revelation 18:8; Isaiah 47:9).
  • Messiah reigns.
  • Ark seen in Temple (Revelation 11:15).

Hence, the 6th Seal with all of its Earth changes, the Sealing of the 144,000 at Jerusalem, and the Good News message with warning of Judgment seem to be the next "visible" events/warnings that we should be looking for before the destruction of Daughter Babylon (i.e. USA). The timing of her destruction is largely a question asked by those dwelling in the United States of America, but her destruction will profoundly effect most all inhabitants of the world and will usher in a new World Empire ruled by the Beast of the 5th Trumpet. Of course, there are more interwoven events that could be considered fore-running 'visible' warnings for us to watch for... and I will try to add them here as time permits.
