As to your first two points addressed to me, you seem to be fighting some Pre-Trib idea; I'm not Pre-Trib.
That's good, I think, for I thought you were. I stand corrected on that.
And that would be your doctrine... Jesus says in John 14:2-3 and Revelation chapters 7 and 19-20 that we are in Heaven: the abode of God the Father and His Temple.
I see you haven't done much Bible study in the Book of Ezekiel, specifically the Ezekiel 40 through 48 chapters. Here's the "mansions" our Lord Jesus was talking about in John 14...
Ezek 45:4-5
4 The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.
5 And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.
(KJV)
Look up the Greek word for "manisions". It means 'abode, dwelling, residence'. That's what those houses and chambers are in the Millennial Sanctuary and Oblation. Some of them are abodes for Christ's priests who reign with Him.
God's House at the ending chapters of Ezekiel is for after... Christ's second coming. There will be a Millennium Sanctuary manifested in Jerusalem on earth for Christ's "thousand years" reign with His elect. But not for God's Eternity (see Rev.21-22).
Will that... manifesting be a heavenly manifesting upon the earth? Yes. Some call it God's Cube. Per the Rev.21:16 and Ezekiel 48 measurements, it will be a foursquare cube situated where Jerusalem is, and extending up into space above the earth the same height as it is in width and length.
See the layout the Christian scholar E.W. Bullinger did on the Millennium Sanctuary and Oblation per the Book of Ezekiel:

Many struggle with the idea of heavenly order manifesting in the same space upon this earth. One of the ways I use to help explain that is with the idea of 'dimensions'. There's only 2 dimensions of existence per God's Word, this earthly one, and the heavenly one, even as revealed by Apostle Paul in 1 Cor.15 (and in all The Bible actually). The resurrection body (or "spiritual body" as Paul called it) is a heavenly order type body. Yet it can manifest upon the earth, walk and live upon this earth. It is not a flesh body like we have today which is of earthly matter (dust).
That is what the coming resurrection and change to our "spiritual body" at Christ's second coming is about. Jesus said in Matthew 22:30 those of the resurrection are "as the angels of God in heaven". Rev.20:9 verse specifically reveals this as "the camp of the saints" and it's shown to be "upon the breadth of the earth" per that Scripture also.
That's where the Rev.7:15-17 and Rev.14 Scriptures are referring to. Mount Sion on earth where Jerusalem is, but for after Christ's return and our gathering to Him on earth per Zech.14.
The Bible says we will reign on the earth; you are taking that one step farther and saying we will live on the earth: they are not the same thing. At the end of the Millennium, the Bible says that the entire world revolts (under the short-lived seventh head of Satan) the camp of God at Jerusalem. A camp is temporary. We are never mentioned in the Bible as owning any territory during the Millennium; there is no nation of immortal people on the earth mentioned anywhere in the Bible. How do you mix mortal (and still sinning) people with immortal people?
You're wrong about that, which is to totally miss the Ezekiel layout for Christ's future Millennium reign with His elect priests and kings. The encampment of Israel before they entered the holy land later became... the city of Jerusalem. Ezekiel reveals the tree of life and God's River of the waters of life manifested in Jerusalem with the Millennial Sanctuary. Difficult to miss that, including all the detailed dimensions given about it to show it has never manifested yet to this day. Even certain cities in the holy land on earth is mentioned with it, revealing it's a lot more than just a simple tent camp. Jesus even revealed it in Rev.22:14-15 also.
Negative.
After the sun/moon/star event on the Day of the Lord with the sixth Seal of Rev 6:12-14, which coincides with Mt 24:29, is a second earthquake in Rev 6:14. In this earthquake, like many we have witnessed in the last few years, the plates of the earth shift moving every geographical point on earth relative to each other. This is the splitting of the Mount of Olives of Zec 14:4. This touchdown by Jesus coming from the scrolling of the skies as Is 34:4, which I think is the sign of the Son of Man in Mt 24:30 marks the bookend of Jesus' time away as the Angels told the Disciples in Acts 1:11. So AS Jesus left: so too shall He return.
That "great earthquake" on the day of The Lord is the same one of Rev.11:13 and Rev.16:18, and also inferred in Matt.24:29-31 and Mark 13:24-27. It's not about 2, but about the same one. Paul also was describing it at the end of Hebrews 12.
Heb 12:25-27
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, 'Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.'
27 And this word, 'Yet once more', signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
(KJV)
Any earthquake prior to that one won't match that final one at Christ's coming on the day of The Lord.
It is on the new Mount Zion, made from the split Mount of Olives that two things happen. One: the 144,000 are mustered as is described in Is 13:2-6 and Rev 14:1. Two: a second element of the Remnant Jews flees from the city of Jerusalem to join the contingent from Judea who fled previously at the midpoint invasion of the King of the North; this can be found in Zec 14:5. Both sets of the Remnant Jews are shepherded in the wilderness for the second half of the one 'seven' during the Wrath of God; they must move around at a moment's notice for the bulk of the three and a half years that God's desolations create tribulation for those who forced tribulation onto us. This is the point of Rev 16:15; they Remnant Jews must be ready to move at a moment's notice because Jesus will "pop in" without notice. Those who are not ready (by being dressed in a normal sense) are not left behind, but instead just go naked.
You're confusing metaphors with literal events. Christ's warning to keep our garments lest we appear naked and in shame is metaphorical. It's about not being deceived.
The 144,000 are about Israelites of both the 'house of Judah' and the "house of Israel'. Only 3 of those tribes mentioned are even about Jews (house of Judah). The rest (majority) are about Israelites from the ten lost tribes, of which the majority of those aren't even in the holy land, and haven't been since God brough the kings of Assyria upon them to remove them captive to Assyria and the land of the Medes.
When Christ's feet touch down upon the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem on the day of The Lord as written, He brings all His Church there with Him, as per Zech.14:5. The fleeing is per a New Testament perspective, not an Old Testament one. That gathering is about His Church of both believing Israelites and.. believing Gentiles. It's not specific to Jews in the holy land today
Now that Jesus has begun the process which will lead to the mustering of His Army which will act on the second half of the Day of the Lord as detailed in Joel 2:2-11, and He had made provision for those He will shepherd through the desolations God will decree (the Trumpet and Bowl Judgments as foretold in Dan 9:26 which are stored in the Scroll) - then Jesus awakens the Dead in Christ in the spiritual realm of Heaven, the first Heaven of Paradise. This selective callout of John 5:24-25 is not on the earth. It is THEN that Jesus comes back with them (from an earth-bound observer-true point-of-view) as Paul writes in 1Th 3:13 on the clouds. This is keeping with 1Th 4:16-17, Mt 24:31, and Rev 14:14-16. All three visions by different authors are describing the same event.
The "day of the Lord" is a one-time event that will occur on the day of Christ's coming.
The idea of the third heaven is about the heavenly manifest according time, not levels.
Those of John 5:24-25 is about the resurrection that happened at Christ's crucifixion.
