The Catching-up/Rapture is "IMMINENT". Imminent literally means "hanging over your head" Could happen ANYTIME!
Christ's physcial return still has prophcey's yet to be fulfiled
Jesus Return is in 2 stages
Stage 1: Chrit arrives unannounced to call out the true church, His Bride. This event (described in 1 Thes 4:16-17 as the rapture - catching-up)
Caught up/snatched/raptured: The original Greek verb harpazo used by Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, in 1 Thes. 4:17, which is usually translated into English with the phrase "caught up." strongs 726 harpazo
The leading Greek Lexicon says that harpazo (strongs 726) means "snatch, seize, i.e., take suddenly and vehemently."
The bride of Christ begins as we are snatched/raptured/caught up (1 Thes 4:16-7) off the earth & taken to our heavenly wedding chamber (Isa 26:20-21) (I believe the New Jerusalem rev 21). This is the place Christ goes to prepare in (Jn 14:3)
Stage 2: Jesus feet touch down & He stands on Mt Olive (Zec 14:4) at the physical 2nd Coming
On that day His FEET will STAND (Not meet in the air) on The Mt Of Olive (Zec 14:3-5)
At the physical return when Jesus STANDS on MT. Olive. The caught-up/raptured saints are with the Lord.
Zec 14:5 On that day His feet will stand on Mt Olive. The Mt will split in 2 from east to west. Then the Lord your God will come, & """all the saints with Him."""
Jude 14,15 Jesus Returns with Ten Thousand of His Saints
Behold, """the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints""", To execute judgment upon all,
1 Thessalonians 3:To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, """at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints""".
Isa 26:
20 "Come my people, enter our (bridal) chambers & shut the door behind you, "hide yourself until the indignation (wrath) is past"
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
NOTE: "Not" to punish believers/church their iniquity's were forgiven & nailed to His Cross. The believers/church will be hidden away with their Bridegroom. Believers/The Bride/Body of Church have peace & reconcilation. Via belief/FAITH placed in Christ's redemptive sin atoning sacrifive. Found in Christ's redemptive death, burial & resurrection 1 Cor 15:1-4.
The Body/Bride of Christ/Church escapes God's wrath. The great tribulation is called the time of Jacob’s/ISRAEL trouble (Jer 30:7)
At the physical return the caught-up/raptured Saints are already with the Lord.
Zec 14:5 On that day His feet will stand on Mt Olive. The Mt will split in 2 from east to west. Then the Lord your God will come, & """all the saints with Him"""
Jude 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, """the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints"""
Jude15 (A) To execute judgment upon all,
1 Thes 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, """at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints""".
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, """I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation""", which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
OT Examples of God sparing the Righteous from coming wrath
The angels couldn’t destroy Sodom and Gomorrah until Lot and his family were clear
Noah and his family were delivered from wrath before the flood came
The Body/Bride of Christ/Church is Caught-Up/raptured, delivered from wrath coming to a God rebellious world.
