You say I’m wrong. You cite no Scriptures that prove it.Revelation 20:5 is absolute proof that you are wrong.
That verse does not say 'all' the dead will rise when Jesus Returns. You are wrong again.
Those who are alive and remain, will be gathered to Jesus to where His will be; in Jerusalem. Matthew 24:31, Zechariah 14:4
We humans never go to live in heaven, that idea is not what God made us for.
They do not say that at all. You just want to be raptured. Too bad it won't happen and what is more God will ask you why you believed and promoted such unbiblical nonsense.
You apparently don’t understand the words “the dead in Christ.” “Those words represent a quantity of 100%. Tell me your reasoning for that not being true.

Rev 20:5 is wholly about dead unbelievers; those who died in sin. It is they who will be judged at the GWTJ.
1 Th 4:16 is about the dead IN Christ and 1 Th 4:17 is about the living IN Christ.
Acts 1:11 forbids Jesus to be seen by unbelievers by the fact that He ascended only in the view of believers. The reverse fulfillment, being Acts 1:11, would require Jesus to descend into the view of believers, only.
1 Th 4:17 proves Jesus will descend only into the view of believers. He is hidden from the view of unbelievers — those who dwell on the earth — by the heavenly clouds cited in v17.
Even we won’t see Jesus until we pass through those same heavenly clouds in v17. Jesus truly is hidden behind clouds during all of the pre-Trib rapture (Rev 3:10 proves 1 Th 4:16-17 occur pre-Trib).
