The word "could" cannot be intermingled with the following
The Harvest of the Earth
14Then I saw the Son of Man sitting on a white cloud. He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.
15Then an angel came from the Temple and called out in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, Use the sickle, for the time has come for you to harvest; the crop is ripe on the earth.
16So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the whole earth was harvested.
17After that, another angel came from the Temple in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle.
18Then another angel, who has power to destroy the world with fire, shouted to the angel with the sickle, Use your sickle now to gather the clusters of grapes from the vines of the earth, for they are fully ripe for judgment.
19So the angel swung his sickle on the earth and loaded the grapes into the great winepress of Gods wrath.
20And the grapes were trodden in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about 180 miles£ long and as high as a horses bridle.
TWO completely different actions, that could never be mistaken for one in the same.
The same as Matthew 24:30And then at last, the sign of the coming of the Son of Man will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the nations of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he will send forth his angels with the sound of a mighty trumpet blast, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.
Apostle John said the EXACT SAME THING here
Rev. 6:1 2 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And He continued

Gathering His chosen, or elect is not the same as dispersing judgment...
I Thes 4:15
I can tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not rise to meet him ahead of those who are in their graves.
16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves.
17Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever.
18So comfort and encourage each other with these words.
Gathered together with the dead in Christ at a TRUMPET blast to be "caught up" together with them to meet Lord Jesus in the air and remain with Him forever...
It is clear as the light of day that this is a rapture, caught up = harpazo together with the dead in Christ to meet Him in the air and remain with Him forever
"SO comfort and encourage each other with these words" as it is written
The rapture/harpazo is not new, it has been here all along
This is The White Throne Judgment
Matthew 25: Jesus Tells about the Final Judgment
31But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. 32All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. 34Then the King will say to those on the right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.
37Then these righteous ones will reply, Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you? 40And the King will tell them, I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,£ you were doing it to me!
41Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his demons! 42For I was hungry, and you didnt feed me. I was thirsty, and you didnt give me anything to drink. 43I was a stranger, and you didnt invite me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me no clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didnt visit me.
44Then they will reply, Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you? 45And he will answer, I assure you, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me. 46And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.
And could never be confused with Matthew 24: Jesus Tells about His Return (Mark 13:24-31; Luke 21:25-33)
29Immediately after those horrible days end,
the sun will be darkened,
the moon will not give light,
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the powers of heaven will be shaken.£
30And then at last, the sign of the coming of the Son of Man will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the nations of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.£ 31And he will send forth his angels with the sound of a mighty trumpet blast, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.
32Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its buds become tender and its leaves begin to sprout, you know without being told that summer is near. 33Just so, when you see the events Ive described beginning to happen, you can know his return is very near, right at the door. 34I assure you, this generation£ will not pass from the scene before all these things take place. 35Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will remain forever.
NOTE**** the sun and moon and powers of heaven being shaken
Holy Spirit through Apostle John writes about this very same thing in longhand...
Revelation 6:12
I watched as the Lamb broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as dark as black cloth, and the moon became as red as blood. 13Then the stars of the sky fell to the earth like green figs falling from trees shaken by mighty winds. 14And the sky was rolled up like a scroll and taken away. And all of the mountains and all of the islands disappeared.
And this is where this happens
I Thes. 4: The Hope of the Resurrection
13And now, brothers and sisters, I want you to know what will happen to the Christians who have died so you will not be full of sorrow like people who have no hope. 14For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus comes, God will bring back with Jesus all the Christians who have died.
