Revelation 11:11-12 is about the two prophets literally. We must note the context of Revelation 11:10 and Revelation 11:13.
The two prophets are literal, I believe their arrival is soon, the evil doers plan to mask and muddy their arrival with the notions of extraterrestrials, "time travelers", and other twistings of the truth. And ultimately the evil doers hope that WW3 and the coverage of news about it will overshadow the arrival of the two prophets. The "rapture" also is a weapon against the two prophets, the evil doers hope to kill most everyone that would be able to see the two prophets for what they really are, they hope to kill millions at once, with special nano technology, and label it as the so called " rapture".
Those that remain they hope to have believe that an Islamic tyrant is the anti Christ, and they hope those believing such will be willing to die by that tyrant, believing he is the anti Christ, they will believe they are dying as martyrs and end up in heaven.
( And well, they will ) And therefore line up to be beheaded. The guiltounes and coffins are already ready.
There is only 1 return of Christ. Paul's foundation is Christ. We can conclude that the dead rise first then the alive from what Christ said, and we can see how Paul concluded such, with scripture.
Matthew 24:31 "from the four winds"
Ezekiel 37:9-10 "from the four winds"
Ezekiel is certainly about the dead rising, being a pharasee Paul would have believed that Ezekiel 37:1-12 is about actual resurrection. We can see so in Acts 23:5-8 together with Acts 26:5-8. It is Ezekiel 37:1-12 that Paul is referring to as the promise concerning resurrection of the nation of Israel as a whole, because there is no other such direct promise from God to the nation in scripture. Thereby we can see that Paul understood "from the four winds" as a reference to resurrection. And so from Paul's view, from scripture, he understood that Matthew 24:31 is talking about the dead and the alive "from the four winds and from one end of the sky to the other"
Concerning the staged so called "rapture".
See the Ted Talk held in Israel 2013 about nano bots. Daniel 2:43 KJV
Revelation 18:23. Sorcery, pharmekia.
By those means the world has been deceived, injected, with end time secret technology.
Babylon is the empire of the three city states. Their king is in the office called Pope.
"And call no man your father, for one is your father, even the Lord in heaven."
When revelation was written 5 in that office had come and gone and one was. Revelation 17:10
That the office is of a king is kept secret at this time, but in the past it was not so secret. We know that they have waged wars, crusades, and have made laws that the world still follows. April was the start of the year, until the Gregorian calendar. Pope Gregory the thirteenth. The office of the Pope is the office of the beast.
Soon world war will start centered around some set up Islamic tyrant. And there will be a fresh new young person in the office. During WW3 he will seem to die and then be healed from death in some new spectacular world changing way. And the two prophets will be here.
If any man will hurt them a fire comes out of their mouth and devours their enemies. And if any man will hurt them he Must in this manner be killed. Revelation 11:5
And when they shall have finished their testimony the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, and shall overcome them and kill them. Revelation 11:7
Therefore the beast must be killed by the fire that comes out of the mouth of the two prophets.
And the beast and false prophet were captured...these both were thrown alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Revelation 19:20
The lake of fire is first kindled by the two prophets. And then also Jesus when He returns spews fire and lava from His mouth literally.
Revelation 19:21
Revelation is not super figurative.
You reference Matthew.
There are 2 SEPARATE gatherings in Matthew 24.
The first, is by angels, NOT JESUS.
In fact, Jesus "sends angels", and they are gathered in heaven.
"SENDS"....(AS in, "he is not present")
So no, your theory is way way off.
The second gathering is beyond postribbers
They are totally stumped because it does no in any way fit their doctrinal spin.
Matt 24
37 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.
None of that fits your doctrine.
A gathering preflood/pretrib.
Noah gathered BEFORE THE FLOOD.
One taken, one left. BEFORE THE FLOOD.
Now where is that 50 % "TAKEN" mentioned again?
Answer ....only 10, or so, sentences later.
Mat 25
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10;And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11;Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh
In both of Jesus declarations of, " half the church is taken in the rapture", we see the pretrib setting, and it is Jesus, not angels ( as you erromeously believe), doing the gathering
In both gatherings by Jesus he tell us to watch and be ready in a pretrib setting.
None of your teachers know the pretrib verses.
So they have duped you.
