1 Thessalonians 4:17 — “Then we which are alive and remain shall be *caught up* together with them in the clouds it meet The Lord in the air, and so shall we be ever with The Lord.” THE RAPTURE. Rapture is a Latin equivalent of Greek [harpago].

This happens “after the tribulation of those days” (persecution by the antichrsit) when Jesus returns. Matthew 24:29ff. *And then ALL the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.*

His return will be quite an event! not a secret rapture where empty sets of clothing will suddenly appear. He will send his angels to gather the elect (Matthew 24:30). Angels as escorts — they aren’t depicted in the movie. AND WHERE IS JESUS? Since, all shall see him and attempt to hide themselves from the wrath of the Lamb (Jesus Christ) (Revelation 6:16)

Left Behind, both the Kirk Cameron and the Nick Cage versions, are unscriptural lies.

i don’t think there will be empty clothing, I think our bodies won’t be needed anymore.

Can the corruptible put on incorruptibility?
