What is this talking about?
And also note that "the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" is in the epistle's context of the Second Advent. So that's when the gathering will occur.
Just for clarity, none of the "rapture verses" include any mention of Jesus taking resurrected/raptured belivers to heaven.
The reason is because none will be. When Jesus returns to earth, those still alive will be "changed in the twinkling of an eye" in the clouds and then stay with Jesus as He sets up His kingdom ON the earth.
That means that those who will be "changed in the clouds" won't ever enter the 3rd heaven.
