Is World War 3 the Battle of Armageddon?

The Sixth Trumpet War, WW3, and the Battle of Armageddon are two different wars and they are separated by at least 3 ½ years, the tribulation period. In the vision of the trumpets, spanning from Revelation 8 – Revelation 11, the 6th trumpet war occurs in Revelation 9:13-21. In Revelation 10 we see an angel standing with a foot on the land and on the sea declaring that time should be no longer. This same event occurs in Daniel 12 except a timeframe is given for the time of these wonders; it is a time, times, and a half. That terminology speaks of a 3 ½ year period and it always refers to the tribulation. So the tribulation begins in Revelation 10 which is why we see what we do in the beginning of Revelation 11; John measures the temple but not the outer court because it is trodden down of the Gentiles for 42 months which equals 3 ½ years. So we know that WW3 must take place before the tribulation begins. We also know Armageddon happens at the end of the tribulation because it is going on at the time God’s wrath and at the time of His Second Coming in Revelation 16 and Revelation 19. So we understand these are two separate wars.
