How to make global message queue system

Hello, im currently trying to figure out how to make my global messaging system display 1, then wait then display the next if there are more than 1 messages in the queue to be displayed. I just spent like 2 hours coding a system but ended up failing miserably. Can anyone help me?
Base code:

local whitelist = {
	411491496,

}

local messageQueue = {}

local messageDebounce = false

local function main()

	game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)



		local val = Instance.new("BoolValue")
		val.Name = "GlobalMessagingPerms"
		val.Value = false
		val.Parent = player

		for i,v in pairs(whitelist) do
			if player.UserId == v then
				val.Value = true
				break
			end
		end
		if not val.Value then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.GlobalMessaging:FireClient(player,"Remove Input GUI","Null")
		end
	end)

	game.ReplicatedStorage.GlobalMessaging.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,action,message)
		if action == "Send Message Sever" and player.GlobalMessagingPerms.Value then

			table.insert(messageQueue,message)
		end
		
	end)
	
	
	local function displayNum()
		messageDebounce = true
		game.ReplicatedStorage.GlobalMessaging:FireAllClients("Display Message", messageQueue[1])
		table.remove(messageQueue,1)
		wait(8)
		messageDebounce = true
	end

end

main()

This code is not functional ATM because i just deleted part of the attempted queue system, but before there was a queue system i just displayed what was being requested whenever something got requested, which resulted in a lot of things overriding and causing issues. By the way, the animation takes 7 seconds thats why I have the wait(8)
