The prophecy says the dead in Christ will be the first to see. If the people are already dead, they can't be uploaded. Also later on the wicked shall rise for the judgement. If they have been dead for thousands of years how can this happen?

what is meant by 'the dead in christ' isn't too specific. it could refer to those saved from death digitally. Saved from death and joined together into a super-consciousness. That the living become able to also connect to. 

The god-consciousness would judge the living and cast out (into effective hell) the wicked

maybe the rapture was never meant to apply to the dead who have been gone for too long.

The rapture is supposed to apply to alive people, not dead ones. You're mixing it up. The dead are resurrected but they don't get raptured. Dead in Christ means dead Christians or dead people who follow Christ unknowingly.

Thessolonians 4:16 says the dead rise and join god first. Then 4:17 says the living rise next and also join.

They are already dead meaning you can't upload consciousness that's not there. It has to be a supernatural resurrection of their consciousness.

Maybe brain imprinting technology allows the dead in the future to be saved in a digital form, and they get connected to the new super-consciousness.
