Two points.
I think the reason that most modern translations use the "not like the 1st,
so also the latter will be" meaning, is the reason Karl gives: that the
context seems more sensible for verse 29 to compare the 2nd expedition to
the first. In general I feel that modern Christian translations place too
much emphasis on context over what the verse actually says. In prophecy, I
think it is more important to let each verse speak for itself.
Without the witness of a negative applying only to what is before the "and",
I support your translation.
