For sure and I agree.....He resurrects/changes the saints.....rewards them in the air as Christ, while exercising Lordship over the kingdoms to the earth and as God pours out his wrath on the unbelieving world that has been gathered under the beast and his kingdom......
The 7th trump you have three things take place.....
1. The Day of the Lord commences with Jesus seizing control of all earthly Kingdoms
2. The Day of Christ commences with him resurrecting/changing and rewarding the saints, the prophets and those who fear God in the AIR
3. The Day of God commences with him pouring out his wrath on the unbelieving world gathered under the banner of the beast and his kingdom...
Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13 all place the gathering of the elect/saints AFTER the great tribulation of those days....the saints/elect are gathered from the 4 winds of heaven, from the uttermost part of the earth and HEAVEN.....
At the sounding of the 7th trump time shall be no more.....
1. For the saints time no more as we get transformed into our eternal state
2. Time no more for the gentile kingdoms of the world as Jesus takes the reigns
3. Time no more for the lost as Jesus as God pours out his wrath
4. Time no more for Satan as he is bound and cast into the Lake of fire for 1000 years

The parable of the tares and wheat jives with the above as God begins to deal with the tares first before the angels, as the reapers gather the wheat into the barn.
Paul said a the last TRUMP the resurrection/change takes place....
The siege and fall of Jericho which represents Israel's first victory over sin when coming out of the wilderness of sin when charted sets forth the following....
1. Follows exactly the order of the seals and trumpets
2. Even leaves off the hidden thunders as found within the trumpets
3. Uses the same verbiage of the Thessalonian and Corinthian testimony of the resurrection/change
4. The trumpets sound as a TRUMP, a GREAT SHOUT, ASCENSION and VICTORY
I know it does not matter, but I was taught and believed and defended imminent return until I had to teach through Thessalonians and started seeing scripture that has to be yanked out of context and or ignored in order to teach that.....
Then the ONE resurrection of the saved as described in Revelation 20 came into question because the people killed for not taking the mark LIVED and REIGNED with Christ a 1000 years which is indicative of being resurrected....there is no split resurrection of the saved as the dead in Christ and we which are alive and remain is indicative of ALL of the saved...so if it occurs before the events of REVELATION then when do the one killed during Revelation get resurrected.....
Paul 2nd Thessalonians The body presence of Christ and our gathering together unto him will NOT CME until...
1. THE MAN of SIN be revealed<---Saints lose their heads for refusal of the mark
2. The apo-hystamie of humanity (complete apostatization of man)
