Based on my reading of Scripture, the saved will be raptured (caught up to heaven)
" For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17)
This will happen right before the 7 year Tribulation. There will be many new people saved during the tribulation, but most of them will be martyred. At the end of the 7 year Tribulation (During which about half of the world's population will die from war, pestilence, drought, earthquakes, famine, and persecution), Jesus will return, destroy His enemies and reign on earth for 1,000 years (His millennial reign) At the end of the 1,000 years, new enemies will rise up to battle against Jesus, but will be destroyed by His word and a New Heavens and New Earth will be created in perfection for the saved alone. There will be no more sin, death, or tears.
The greatest details on end times are in Revelation starting with Chapter 4 and in Daniel starting with Daniel chapter 7. I do have some articles on the subject on my trustjesus.substack.com , but don't feel like a great expert on the subject, even though I have been studying the Bible for ~40 years and studying end times prophecy hard the past year.
