There is no Rapture of the church. Before everyone goes crazy, let me explain.
This view of the Rapture is false!!
Jesus returning BEFORE the Tribulation where true believers (The Church) are caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord whereby they receive immortal bodies, where the dead in Christ arise and are resurrected then all are transported to heaven to wait out the tribulation. The Lord then returns after the Tribulation with all His saints to reign for 1,000 years.
This view of the Rapture is correct:
The Lord comes once at the tail end of the Tribulation (at the 7th trumpet which is after the seals, trumpets and bowls). He returns with the saints and armies of heaven to fight and win at the Battle of Armageddon. Those believers who are alive and remain through the Tribulation are caught up with Christ in the air and receive immortal bodies. The dead in Christ are resurrected then everyone immediately returns to earth with Jesus to reign during the millennium. None of the living go to heaven until AFTER the millennium.
