Those who claim that Jesus comes in the clouds, glorifies all believers and then takes them all back to heaven but CAN'T provide any evidence for that claim are DISHONEST.

A simple parable that's self explanatory, 6th grade reading comprehension, and you try desperately to create a doctrine of this
You act as if you have some extra special revelation, the (Ten Virgin) parable is nothing more than showing the saved righteous, and the unsaved wolves in sheeps clothing.

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Your Claim Is False, Jesus Christ Warned His Followers Of Your Teaching, Jesus Christ Wont Be Found Any Where Upon This Earth As You Claim.
"Believe It Not" "Go Not Forth"!
The Future Antichrist Will Sit In Jerusalem, And Proclaim To Be Messiah God To Jews, And Jesus Christ Returned To The "Apostate" Church.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Revelation 19:20KJV
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge.

5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.
OK, the red words refer to the beheaded martyrs. The blue words refer to the still dead unbelievers.
You're welcome.
No they didnt come to life in physical, tangible bodies (They Lived) as all Believers are part of the living (Eternal Life)
You claim (Came To Life)?
Perhaps it's the Amplified Childrens Bible you quote?

No, I don't. The Bible says it.

1 Kings 1
King James Version
1 Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
2 Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.
3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
4 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.

If I may, it's speaking of the Resurrection of the Just at the Second Coming, when the dead and living saints rise to meet Jesus in the air, while the Earth suffers unspeakable destruction as Jesus returns "as a theif in the night" (2 Peter 3:10 KJV) and "rules all the nations with a rod of iron" when He will "break them with a rod of iron...dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel" (Psalms 2:2 KJV) which is the fulfillment of the "Second Coming" Stone of Daniel 2 striking the kingdoms of the Earth which He shall "break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms together" (Daniel 2:44-45 KJV).
The resurrected saints return with Jesus to His Father's house and reign with Him a thousand years while the entire planet Earth lies "dark, desolate, empty, wasted, devoured, void" with "broken down cities, no life-sustaining atmosphere, no humanity, and dead bodies of the wicked lying all over the surface" who dropped dead "at the brightness of His coming" (Isaiah 24; Jeremiah 4; Jeremiah 25; 2 Thessalonians 2; 2 Peter 3:10 KJV).
