Give the the specific Scripture that you think supports your denial of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Does this sound like a secret visit by Christ to you? You are the one that needs to prove this we are called up to Christ 7 yrs before the end.
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
The word ‘meet’ in 17 in the greek has the same meaning as going out to meet an official and bringing him back. That is what happens. We meet Christ in the clouds and bring Him back and He destroys the earth and all that is in it.
It is incumbent upon you and others that twist scripture to fit a preconceived notion, to PROVE that scripture says what you want it to say. And it does not.
