That ain’t “Rapture”!
That is the Second Coming of Christ.

Rapture was invented in the 1800’s.

It seems to me during the Second Coming of Christ, that He would set foot on earth rather than meeting the dead in Christ and remaining believers "in the clouds". The Second Coming of Christ is spoken of in greatest detail in Revelation 19:11-16, “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. ‘He will rule them with an iron scepter.’ He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”

This is the Battle of Armageddon. The final battle in the Valley of Megiddo. But I wouldn't expect a Catholic to know this stuff, because I too was once a Catholic and know for a fact that the Bible is alien to most of them.
