John 14:

Young's Literal translation:

Jesus Comforts the Disciples
1‘Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe; 2in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you; 3and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be; 4and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.’

The Way, the Truth, and the Life
5 Thomas saith to him, ‘Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?’ 6Jesus saith to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

7if ye had known me, my Father also ye would have known, and from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.’

8Philip saith to him, ‘Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;’ 9Jesus saith to him, ‘So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father? 10Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works; 11believe me, that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.

And the coming for His bride and bridesmaids:

The Return of the Lord 1Thess 4:13-18
13And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, that ye may not sorrow, as also the rest who have not hope, 14for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him, 15for this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who are living — who do remain over to the presence of the Lord — may not precede those asleep, 16because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, 17then we who are living, who are remaining over, together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord we shall be; 18so, then, comfort ye one another in these words.

1 Cor 15:51-53 51Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. 55“O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?” 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; 57but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

No appearance before the Great White Throne of JUDGMENT, Romans 8:

Life Through the Spirit
1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

9You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

That should get you started, old cow. Remember, dispensational perspective is a tool, not the Gospel. The Gospel is God sent His Son into the World, not to judge the world but to save sinners; Jesus is The Son; He sacrificed Himself upon the cross for our salvation; He arose from the dead to show us He is The Way, and He puts His life in believers in Him when we are born from above, so that we may Live The Way members of His family should go.

I see NOTHING in these scriptures to support a JUDGMENT before the GWT one.
