    Stop relying on what people in the Bible said or wrote and understand the mechanics of the process itself.

    LOL! What a clown you are.

    First off, the Bible itself may very well just be made up BS from people of the past. But whether true or not, it still says what it says. That being the case, you have no choice but to rely on what 'people' of the Bible said/wrote. If you ignored what they say, then there is no basis for even considering anything pertaining to 'anointed', a 'resurrection', etc.

    The first resurrection of the anointed who have died as already occurred.

    If that is true, then tell me when was the 'last day' that that resurrection occurred?

    [ 39 This is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose none out of all those whom he has given me, but that I should resurrect them on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day.”]

    It's simple. When Jesus became king, he resurrected the anointed who are already dead.

    If that is true, when did the 'last trumpet' sound and why is there a trumpet sound heard in the future after the GT if you claim the 'last trumpet' already sounded?

    [52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised up incorruptible, and we will be changed.]

    [29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.]

    17 How might a similar situation arise today? Consider the matter of blood fractions. Each Christian must make up his or her own mind about whether to accept or to reject these fractions. c We may find it a challenge to understand this matter fully, but making decisions like this is part of the load that each of us must carry. (Rom. 14:4) If we were to copy what somebody else decided to do, we could weaken our own conscience. We can train and improve our conscience only by using it. (Heb. 5:14) So when should we ask a mature Christian for advice? After we have done our own research but still need help in understanding how Bible principles relate to our situation (and Endnote https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-3/lesson-39/#p37-p41 For a detailed discussion of this topic, see the Enjoy Life Forever! book, lesson 39 point 5 and the “Explore” section.".
