I refer back to Comment 262

Notice that do not stay "in the clouds", but we stay "with the Lord".
And WHERE is the LORD going ?

" And His feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,
which is before Jerusalem on the east,
and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west,
and there shall be a very great valley;
and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. "

SO... one second you're up,
and the next moment you're on the ground "with the LORD" and you're "upon the mount of Olives".

From your link:

"Whether a particular English word is or is not found in the Bible is not important.
What is important is whether the concept is found.
The original language in which the text was written reveals that
the concept of the SUDDEN catching up is valid.

Well, 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 makes that SUDDEN CHANGE ... CLEAR.
And John 15:18-27 makes it clear that "In the world ye shall have tribulation".
And what of the "two witnesses", "the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks" of the future ?
Are they PROTECTED from the Tribulation ?
Didn't Jesus tell us "The time will come when they that killeth you will think they do God a service" ?

So ... do you believe that the "saved" will suffer ANY harm ?
