Sure, let's reason this out.
Does the Revelation show the rapt/resur, the coming of Jesus for the kingdom?
Where does it show it?
Here it is abcde,
After the letters to the seven churches, which is the "what is now" part of what John was told to write in Rev.1:19 and which we are currently still in, we read the following:
"After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.” - Rev.4:1
The above is a prophetic allusion to the gathering of the church. In support of this, throughout chapters 1 thru 3 we have the word "ekklesia" translated as "church" used 18 times. In those same chapters you will not find the word "Hagios" translated as "Saints." Like wise from chapter 4 onward we only see the word Saints, but the word church is never used again. The reason for this is that the church is gathered in Rev.4:1 and the word "Saints" is in reference to those great tribulation saints introduced in Rev.7:9-17. These are those in the white robes which no man can count from every tribe, nation, people and language who come to Christ after the church has been gathered and during the time of God's wrath.
So, there is a definite distinction being made between the use of the word "church" and the word "saints." For all the naysayers, you would think that the word church would appear just once from Rev.4 thru 18, but it is never used again. The next time we see the church alluded to is in Rev.19:6--8 referred to as the bride. The next time we see the word church is not until Rev.22:16 which is outside the narrative of God's wrath and at the closing of the book.
Furthermore, the "voice that sounds like a trumpet" is synonymous with the "trumpet call of God" found in 1 Thes.4:16 where Paul is giving a detailed account of the gathering of the church.
The "what must take place later" is synonymous with when the voice like a trumpet says "come up here and I will show you
what must take place after this."
What you have seen = Everything written from Rev.1:1 to Rev.1:19
What is now = Represented by the letters to the churches and representing the entire church period
What will take place later = All of the events that take place after the "what is now" i.e. after the church period
So there is the scripture proof regarding the gathering of the church in Revelation. Jesus coming for the kingdom is demonstrated in Rev.19:11-21, which is when He returns to the earth to end the age and establish His millennial kingdom.
