First, I hold only to what the word plainly states, not to analysts that are not even likely to be among Yeshua’s elect.
Of course it was before the final judgment; the final judgment is 1000 years after the passage in question, which is described to be plainly at the first resurrection, the only resurrection unto life, according to Yeshua. This would then have to be right after the last trump, so at that time all of the elect are in heaven for sure, for the wedding feast.
When Yeshua speaks a parable, it would be foolhardy to assume that it is set in any particular time, unless that parable deals with the first resurrection, like for example the parable of the virgins.
Paul’s references are to consciousness, which could be at any time. It doesn’t mean that one is immediately in heaven, since especially that is denied in other scripture.
All of the scriptures are one! If an interpretation would make a contradiction, that interpretation has to be incorrect.

I read your analysis of what you think Scripture says and I gonna hold only to what the word plainly states, not to analysts that are not even likely to be among Yeshua’s elect.
