Here is another scripture that sheds light on Chirst's presence/coming.
1 Corinthians 15:52 speaks of the resurrection in association with the "last trumpet"
Well, the last trumpet would be the "seventh trumpet".
Compare the events connected with the "seventh trumpet" (last of seven)in Revelation with the events in Matthew 24:29-31
Revelation 11:15-12:11
"And the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And loud voices occurred in heaven saying: "The kingdom of the world did become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and he will rule as king forever and ever."
But the nations became wrathful and your own wrath came and the appointed time for the dead to be judged and to give reward to your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing your name"...
What is the reward? Resurrection.
The 12th Chapter of Revelation discusses the casting out of Satan from heaven and the stars falling to the earth in a similar vein as Matthew 24:29-31 describes events that occur AFTER the great tribulation.
Whether these things will happen is not the question at this point. At the very least there is some harmony between a variety of scriptures in regards to the order in which things are supposed to take place. If someone believes the Bible they ought to be able to see how the Watchtower really doesn't have this figured out in a coherent way.
