Matt 24:29 says “gathers his elect”

Note that the elect are gathered from one end of heaven to the other. (verse 31) They are already in heaven.

So no this is not about the unrighteous being taken in judgement as you claim

Matthew 24:37 says it will be like the days of Noe. Verse 39 says they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

The ones taken away by the flood did not know that the judgment was coming. Thus Noah and his family represent the people that were left behind. This is the second coming of Christ and not the same event in 1 Thessalonians 4 where the righteous were taken to meet the Lord in the air.

Matt 24 also deals with those living as in the day of Noah but the unsaved are not caught up into the air to the Lord, nor do the instructions “stay awake and be ready” make any sense if this is referring to the those who are already asleep (spiritually dead) and have never been ready. Read the scripture for what it is saying instead of trying to fit doctrine into the Word.
