Psalm 50:1-6
states, “The mighty God, even the Lord ,hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. He shall call to the heavens from above, to the the earth, that he may judge his people. Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.

This is an awesome reference in picture/type/shadow of the resurrection/change (rapture) as we see the following truths...

God, Even the Lord comes and...

1. Called to the earth from one end to the other
2. He will not remain in silence
3. He calls to the heavens and the earth
4. To gather His saints together unto Him
5. That they may be judged (judgment seat of Christ)
6. The ones that have made a covenant with God by sacrifice.

God calls for us to be a (living) sacrifice
each and every day. Have you died to yourself and taken up your cross today for Jesus? Are you/we a living sacrifice or have we been been like a (corpse) when it comes to our faith and our walk in life?

Jesus is both God and Lord of all! He is the true and living way! No man comes unto the Father except by or through Jesus as He is the ONLY mediator between God and men found under the heavens! If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Savior, you will not make the above referenced gathering, but rather will have you lot in the 2nd death and will be cast from the presence of God for all eternal ages to come.

Trust Jesus and become a living sacrifice today in the name of the Lord.

Amen.

I'd just like to add that there will only be one gathering and that it includes, as you just noted, both those who have already died in Christ and who are in heaven and those Christians who will yet be alive and who will remain until the second coming of the Lord:

"Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:" (Ephesians 1:9-10)

"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." (I Thessalonians 4:13-18)


At Jesus' second coming (not third coming), He will bring the dead in Christ with Him and they will be the first to receive their glorified bodies and then the saints who are yet alive will be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and they too will receive glorified bodies by which they will enter into the coming kingdom of God. IOW, Jesus isn't bringing people from heaven to receive glorified bodies to return back to heaven with them. Instead, they need them to enter into the coming kingdom of God on earth.

Those raised from the dead alongside Jesus 2000 years ago have glorified bodies.
Jesus on the cloud with the sharp sickle harvests a gathering DURING THE GT.

Your doctrine has a million holes holes in it.

Who, specifically, are you referring to? Chapter and verse, please.

Jesus on the cloud with the sharp sickle harvests a gathering DURING THE GT.
Again, chapter and verse, please, so I know exactly what you're referring to.

Your doctrine has a million holes holes in it.
According to you which, by itself, means nothing.
