Revelation 14:14-20 is nothing more than the last day resurrection and final judgement of all, as Matthew 13:37-43 is a parallel teaching in greater explanation
The claims of a Pre-Trib rapture is "Laughable"
Matthew 13:37-43KJV
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

so Lazarus could actually die a third death ?
dead be raised , die again and be raised again and then face the second death again possibly ?
I’m not sure what happened with Lazarus after he was raised except for he was spotted at a dinner later and was a believer, Honestly that’s all I’ve learned from scripture about what happened after Lazarus was raised from the dead
“Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.”
John 12:1-2 KJV
that’s as far as I know about Lazarus after his resurrection I know a man who was certainly dead for days was now alive for certain and eating a meal with the Lord
and I know Jesus was also raised from the dead or “ resurrected”
“And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. But God raised him from the dead:”
Acts 13:29-30 KJV
same as Lazarus

that final judgement is what Jesus was talking about here
“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
John 5:28-29
there’s another group who doesn’t have to face the condemnation of the final judgement because they already heard his word and believed and died with him Through baptism for their sins . This group who heard his word and believed and escaped the condemnation the dead face I. The end those who are made alive by the spirit now and go to be with him until the restoration of all things new
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24
that death we escape by belief is the second death , we all die the first death of the flesh , but can escape the final judgement of we accept it now and believe
Rather than Being among the dead in the grave who are judged without mercy for thier deeds , we can be alive in Christ and the mercy of God available to believers
“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”

Hello!
If you are speaking in regards to Jesus' insertion in red above, what you posted would not be supported by this. There is just nothing in that verse that would support your post above. If you look at the context, it is a warning to those righteous on the earth at that time to remain awake and clothed, that being figurative to keep themselves pure and watching for the Lord's return. Although, I have wondered also if it is warning to the reader to always be watching and keeping oneself from the sinful nature so that they do not enter into that time period of God's wrath.
In regards to when the Lord comes down from heaven and the church with Him, there are no weapons mentioned, nor would we need them. For we would all be in our immortal and glorified bodies which will have have power. That said, I'm sure that there won't be much of a battle with the immortal against mortal.

There are THOUSANDS other similar Scriptures pertaining to the restoration of Jerusalem at the end of the age. There is no stronger doctrine than the restoration of Israel and Jerusalem in a renewed earthly Kingdom under the direct rulership of the now bodily resurrected Lord Jesus Messiah. Any Christian who chooses to deny the redemption of Israel and Jerusalem is extremely disturbing.
In this we rejoice. We rejoice in all of Gods redemptive work. The Redemption is greatest and most glorious work of God in all of eternity past present and future. We pray for Israel and Jerusalem continually. As we also pray for all the gentiles who need to be redeemed in this fallen world.
Isa 52
52:6: Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
52:7: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
52:8: Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
52:9: Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
52:10: The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

I believe it's part of The Gospel. "This Gospel of The Kingdom". Jesus paid for this earth with his blood.
Perhaps some churches don't teach very much on it but I find it quite difficult to avoid.
Isaiah 2
This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 In the last days
the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established
as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,
and all nations will stream to it.
3 Many peoples will come and say,
‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths.’
The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He will judge between the nations
and will settle disputes for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into ploughshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war any more.
5 Come, descendants of Jacob,
let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Perhaps some churches don't teach very much on it but I find it quite difficult to avoid.

so that we may walk in his paths.’

5 Come, descendants of Jacob,
let us walk in the light of the Lord.

You dont want to read the entire chapter in context, because it shows mans breath is removed from his nostrils, just as it was given in the beginning (The End) of mortal, human existence!
Revelation 21:23-24KJV
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?

Revelation 1414-20KJV
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Matthew 13:36-43KJV
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Matthew 13:36-43KJV
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

rev 14 is neither the rapture or the second coming
the gathering is Jewish because the 144k are firstfruit Jews.
Jacobs trouble is Israels trouble.
the gt is the stage where God deals with the covenant Jews. (Israel)
the ac kills all who refuse the mark. The Jews are ushered into protection with the devil in pursuit.
the flying scorpions are commanded not to hurt the 144k messianic jews (which are already sealed by being born again,but in need of sealing against the scorpions.)
here is the heart of the matter: the entire end times is begun by the rapture and the advent of the ac.
this is test fit.
anything else and the business in heaven is bypassed and we lose the connectability of the dots.
end times is not a "trib/wrath/second coming" dynamic.
it is the gathering of the 2 groups for business in heaven.
the trib is like the flood of Noah's day. Noah was high into the heavens via the ark while the horror was below him.
we also will be high above the horror of the Judgement of God during the gt.
the gathering of the Jewish ripe fruit of rev 14;15 is the declaration at the first miracle of Jesus ...it was at a wedding ,it had to dowith grapes (wine) and the declaration was "but you saved the best wine for last"
that is the Jews. they come to the wedding in heaven LAST. the best for last.
IOW, the first miracle by Jesus HAD TO BE AT A WEDDING and involve grapes.
without the Jew there is no christianity. (ruth came in through naomi)
without ruth naomi could not regain inheritance.
both came in through boaz.
the depth of end times is hidden.
Framing it around the gt is like going to a bible class where the ot is never studied.
you can "get there" but it is so very lacking in depth.
