The angels are not gathering a raptured church from Heaven, where God dwells!
Jer. 49: 36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
The events of this passage are on this earth.
Dan.7:2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
The events in this passage are a vision about things to happen on this earth.
Dan 8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
The events of this passage are on the earth.
Zech 2: 6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.

In context none of the above verses refer to heaven where God dwells.
Likewise the passage in Matthew does not describe a roundup of resurrected believers from heaven (where God dwells).
Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Deuteronomy 30:3 That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.
4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
5 And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
Your initial statement to my remarks pertaining to Mt.24:31 was: "The angels are not gathering a raptured church from Heaven, where God dwells!"
Which is opinion without any Scriptural support whatever.
Please tell me how the elect from one end of the heavens to the other, got there, if it wasn't from the following Scriptures tell us how, in Jn.14:2-3 and 38; 1 Thess.4:14-17; and 2 Thess.2:3 and 7-8.
