I assume your position is "one coming and one gathering"?One more time... I'll ask you...
What Jesus said there in Matthew 24:29-31 and Mark 13:24-27 is perfectly in line with what Apostle Paul taught about Christ's coming to gather His Church in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17. So are you gonna' try and say Paul wasn't speaking to Christ's Church either??
You still don't get it?
There are several gatherings.
Rev 14 has the 144k in heaven ( an obvious gathering), as well as a subsequent gathering of those gathered by Jesus sitting on a cloud holding a sickle , DURING the trib!!!
Leave it out, as you just did, and you can now combine 1 thess 4 ,with After the trib verses, as you just demonstrated.
You yourself are demonstrating how to omit the blatant obvious, then torture the bible to say what you desire.
Instead of reconciling verses, you are seeking a desired result.
Your error is your starting place.
Your starting place is , "seeking to prove a doctrine via omission" ( omit rev 14, the 2 escape verses, acts 1, mat 24 "before the flood" and others)
As you are demonstrating, it can not honestly be done.
