Going to heaven isn't necessary for resurrection. As Revelation 20:4 proves.

No it is not. Dying is though, and all of Adam's flesh and blood will die physically. Is there a mechanism to store dead bodies for 42 months in your interpretation? There will be no dead zombie bodies walking around claiming to be Christians "enduring" Satan's 42 months. Neither will there be souls walking around without bodies, that have physically died.

All will have died though, that it the inescapable truth of the final harvest.

Paul said: We [those] Christians who are alive and remain will rise to meet the Lord......
At His Return, after the Great trib.

The church is the Steward. The church will be removed before the harvest. Israel was removed prior to the church taking over. When God and the Lamb take back the vineyard, the church will be out of a job.
