What is the resurrection of the believers at Christ's coming called and who is gathered in it?

The believers' resurrection at Christ's coming is called the resurrection of the Church, the rapture, and the great resurrection day of God's major harvest. It gathers all believers of all ages, from Adam and Eve through the end of the Tribulation, including Old Testament Saints and Tribulation Saints.

Les explains that verse 23 presents every person resurrected in his own order or company: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. That company includes all believers of all ages, from Adam and Eve on up to the end of the Tribulation. He identifies it as the resurrection of the Church, the rapture, the great resurrection day of the major harvest of God's reaping, and the bringing together of Old Testament Saints and Tribulation Saints, as seen in Daniel chapter 12.
