Christ comes back to "pre-trib" rapture His Elect/Saints BEFORE the Resurrection
1 Thessalonians
4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
4:17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Now the Church is in Heaven. Note how v17 says we shall ever be with the Lord from this point on. The next event is our Wedding and Marriage Feast. We shall be given fine linen white and clean, participate in the Wedding and Marriage Feast, and then return to Earth with Jesus at His Second Coming to rule and reign with Him 1000 years on Earth...
Revelation
19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
19:12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
19:14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
As can be seen, future events are clearly delineated in Scripture. Those who are prepared for Rapture will not be left behind on Earth to endure the 7 years of Tribulation that immediately follow down here on Earth....
1 Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
