Here's the order of main end times events:

1. Satan starts the Great Tribulation using two beasts, ten kings, and the mark of the beast etc.
2. The Great Tribulation ends at the sounding of the 7th trump and the second coming.
3. The resurrection of the dead in Christ and the changing and rapturing the living saints up to the clouds to meet Christ and his army.
4. The larger army continues to follow Christ down to where the battle of Armageddon takes place.
5. The army gathered there is slain and the two beasts are cast into the Lake of Fire and Satan is imprisoned in the pit.
6. Christ and his immortal saints rule with a rod of iron over the unsaved nations for a thousand years.
7. After the thousand years Satan is released and go to the nations and deceives a great many to go to and surround Jerusalem.
8. Fire comes down from God the Father in heaven and those people are killed. 9. Satan is cast into the Lake of Fire.
9. The rest of the dead resurrect and are judged at the Great White Throne Judgement and are cast into the Lake of Fire.
10. The New Heavens and New Earth takes place and New Jerusalem descends from Heaven and an eternal age begins for those who are written in the Book of Life.

Everyone should already know the scriptures pertaining to those events.
Order Of Events:

Jesus Christ returns,resurrection of all, catching up of believers, the heavens and earth are (Dissolved) by the Lords fire, judgement complete,wicked lake of fire, righteous eternal New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem

All In The Twinkling Of An Eye

The sounding of the 7th Trump is the end, times does not exist beyond it, eternity begins.

Revelation 10:6-7KJV
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Order Of Events:

Jesus Christ returns,resurrection of all, catching up of believers, the heavens and earth are (Dissolved) by the Lords fire, judgement
So they are resurrected and then die in this fire before ever getting judged at the GWT? Are they resurrected twice? Obviously this is not the proper order of events. Revelation assures us "the rest of the dead lived not again" until after the thousand years so that's automatically a reference to a second resurrection that is a thousand years after the first one.




The sounding of the 7th Trump is the end, times does not exist beyond it, eternity begins.
Time obviously exists past the second coming because in the very least the resurrection of the unsaved and being judged happens and that takes some time plus the eternity is time never ending and the tree of life having fruit every month literally forever of time. A lack of studying always leads to these types of bad theology.

You have this wrong also. Clearly the NHNE is AFTER the day of judgment not before it:

Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

here is what your teachers failed to teach you;
7 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

ooooops
those pesky verses your teachers failed to mention.
The words teach nothing more than the Lords unexpected return for those unaware and not watching

You act as if you have some exceptional knowledge of the scripturr

The tares are burned at the GWTJ of course.
In both passages I pointed out, the matter being addressed is "the end [singular] of the age [singular]" (which is [immediately] followed by "the age [SINGULAR] to come" aka the earthly MK age [singular]; and "age [singular]" always speaks in connection to EARTH-time / -history... NOT "eternity / forever" [which, instead, is "the ages [plural] of the ages [plural]"]).



Matt13:24,30,39,40,49-50 "the end [singular] of the age [singular]" is the exact thing His disciples LATER *asked* Him about in Matthew 24:3, and His response follows in those two chapters (meaning, both Matt13 and Matt24-25 are speaking of the same points in the chronology, which is His "RETURN" to the earth / His Second Coming to the earth FOR the promised and prophesied earthly Millennial Kingdom... "WHEN the Son of man SHALL COME in his glory, and all the angels with him, THEN shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered ALL THE NATIONS..." ("nations" are ON THE EARTH--these are "still-living" persons, not "resurrected" ones, in this scene/context, at the time of His Second Coming / "RETURN" to the earth--Compare also Matthew 24:42-51 with Luke 12:36-37,38,40,42-44,45-48 "when he will RETURN FROM the wedding..." THEN the meal [G347]!! [the EARTHLY MK age (singular), aka "the age [SINGULAR] to come" He spoke of...])

Once you understand that Jesus Christ returns in fire and Final judgement, then you will understand

Nobody teaches the truth of this fiery return, because they have a Pre-Determined "Bias" in maintaining a false Millennial Kingdom on this earth that will be (Dissolved)

The living believers on earth at the Lords return pass through the Lords fire in judgement, to the eternal New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem

The wicked are caught in this fire for eternity, the Lake of fire

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

@ewq1938 , Keep in mind that even here (in the passage below), it says THIS (which is NOT speaking of the GWTj just because "fire/flame" is being mentioned):

"23 And in Hades, having lifted up his eyes, being in torment, he sees Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And having cried out, he said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he might dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am suffering [/tormented] in this flame.’"

You won't learn anything if you keep ignoring the errors in your theology. I pointed out several to you and you just ignore them. That's fine but it's a sign that you cannot defend against the critiques. I was raised believing in similar things like all the dead being resurrected and judged at the same time until I actually looked at all the passages that cover that and realized it wasn't true. I once wrote, "It's ok to be wrong but it's not ok to stay wrong."

You need to post the specific verses not entire chapters.
I DID just list the references... I expect the reader to look them up themselves, so that I don't have to make the post longer than it already is... since ppl tend to ignore anything lengthy or detailed.





His disciples and Jesus (in both passages, Matt24-25 AND Matt13:24,30,39,40,49-50) are speaking regarding "the end [singular] of the age [singular]".

THAT time-period is followed by "the age [singular] to come" (Matt12:32) which is also "earthly-located" (because of what "age [singular]" means--in connection to earth-time).

Well, you clearly are not grasping that "the end [singular] of the age [singular]" (Matt24-25 / Matt13) is FOLLOWED BY "the age [singular] to come" (Matt12:32) which is also EARTHLY-located (i.e. the earthly MK age). Not at the GWTj point in the chronology, which they were NOT talking about in these passages (contrary to what you are putting forth).

The only thing I can understand in this is the last part and that's wrong. The burning of the tares is an analogy of the GWTJ and the LOF.

Nope.

ALL "Son of man cometh / coming / shall come / coming of / etc" speak of His Second Coming to the earth context (to judge/govern/reign... on/over the earth; i.e. the earthly MK age)

See Matt25:31-34 (in that context): "WHEN the Son of man shall come"
