John 5 shows Jesus talking about two resurrections. The first is salvation when we hear his voice and come alive into newness of life, as in Romans 6:13 where we are said to be alive from the dead once we're saved, and must pray with that perspective in mind. The second is from the graves and is physical.

Matt 24:30-31 is (probably) the Gathering we see at Revelation 14

I disagree.

The gathering is protection from destruction and wrath -- see the same terms used in reference to Jerusalem at the end of Matt 23, whom HE WOULD have gathered together from trouble, but they refused.

Revelation is not a series of movies of the future. It is symbolic of what would happen after John wrote it, and the symbols are old testament stories that actually occurred literally, but are used as symbols of what would happen in John's future. John was in the same tribulation he wrote about in Revelation. He wrote the book to the early church as his brethren in tribulation. When Jesus spoke to Jerusalem about gathering them together, he said those events would happen in "this generation", which would be the generation he preached to. And the same set of words speaking about gathering together and "this generation" are found in Matt 24 speaking about the church who would be gathered INSTEAD of Jerusalem, "from the four winds". The four winds are the four horsemen that we see called the four spirits/winds in Zechariah 6. Jesus listed the six seals of Revelation 6 in Matth 24. And the first four are the four horsemen of false Christs, wars, famines and death. Tie that with Zech 6 and Rev 6 and see that the four winds he'd gather them from were the four horsemen.

and also the same event as described by Paul in Thessalonians 1 (1)Coming from Heaven to earth, 2) with a voice from Archangel, 3) In the Clouds, 4)trump of God 5)In the last Trump.

Many trumpet sounds represent different things. Trumpet signaled varying events, like call to war, regathering etc. So, just because we read a trumpet does not mean Resurrection. Read about the seven trumpets in Revelation!

Matt 24 spoke of the first century when NO RESURRECTION would occur.

Jesus was asked about THE SIGN when "these things" would come to pass and the end of the WORLD/AGE would occur, not end of the planet. When they asked about THESE THINGS and the SIGN OF THY COMING, the SIGN was repeated in Mark's and Luke's gospels as the SIGN WHEN THESE THINGS shall come to pass. THESE THINGS refers tot he temple destruction. A COMING of Jesus occurred when the temple of Jerusalem was destroyed. He referred to the temple destruction as a COMING of Himself in Matt 21:40 in speaking of the parable of the vineyard and the wicked husbandmen. Not all comings are the rapture. That's the SECOND COMING not to be confused with the COMING in local destruction in the first century.

In Luke is described too very wonderfully (and fearfully )
Luke 17 31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot's wife.
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two [men] in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35 Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 36 Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.3 37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the eagles be gathered together.

That was a coming of destruction ONLY, not for resurrection or rapture. THE SIGN mentioned in Luke 21, Mark 13 and Matt 24 was the sign of the temple destruction. No word of resurrection is plainly mentioned anywhere in those three chapters. People assume it is resurrection, but the resurreciton f 1 Cor 15 is not at all hinted at plainly in those chapters. Tradition has skewed the reference to the temple destruction in Jerusalem to be the resurrection.

Also this last word " thither will the eagles be gathered together." by Luke ,is used in Matthew too when speaks about those who teach a secret rapture:

No, it is definitely not. Gathering the eagles is destruction. It is a hint of the roman armies using the eagle as the standard that came in use by God's hand to destroy Jerusalem Everything listed by way of Noah entering the ark, lot and the eagles gathering, as well as the good man's house being broken up, all refer to unexpected Destruction only.

Mat.24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together

Carcase is a dead body, not at all analogous to the living church.

and then wafter speaks about the false prophets sighn continues in the very next verse (and in the same paragraph )
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
When all this will happen Matthew? Immediately after the tribulation of those days

Amen, God bless

Sun darkening and moon not shining are apocalyptic references used any time a kingdom was destroyed and are not literal. See the book of Isaiah for a few similar references when Egypt was destroyed as well as Babylon.

It's pop-prophecy making millions in movies and pulp books that you've happened upon, and it's rife with error.
