Have read. Have understood.
We will have a "rapture" after the dead are raised:
Rev. 20:7 And when the thousand years are ended, ...
12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them
... and then those who are alive and remain shall ascend to be with the LORD forever in the air (the New Jerusalem).
1 Thess. 4:16 ... And the dead in Christ will rise first; 17 then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord.
After all, how will the survivors of the final attack against Jesus get to the New Jerusalem except by rapture? -- Springs on the bottoms of shoes? Trampolines? Pogo Sticks?
Pretty simple, -- not church doctrine, which is FALSE --, but is Scriptural.
