Christ’s Second Coming comes in two phases, once for the Church and once for Israel!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 4:
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
18 Therefore comfort one another with these Words.
There are those who would try to redefine Paul’s specific Words, I choose not to. If Jesus was able to ascend, then so will we. We will no longer be tied to only four dimensions and will experience interdimensional attributes. Those who have gone to Heaven and returned experienced similar ascensions. Why attempt to restrict Our Heavenly Father as though you need some scientist to validate HIS methods? No man authenticates Our Heavenly FATHER but instead, HE will authenticate them if HE so desires.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Zechariah chapter 14:
3 Then the LORD will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle.
4 And in that day His Feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south.
This passage refers to the second Coming of Christ as He returns to the earth.
After His Resurrection, Christ was only seen by those who Loved Him, and He was only touched by Loving hands. That should tell us something about the Rapture. Only His own will see Him at the Rapture, but every eye alive will see Him and tremble at the Second Coming.
In any reference to the Rapture there is no reference to satan. He’s not involved. In fact, because there is no warning, it will catch satan by surprise. But note this: at the Second Coming of Christ, satan is bound.
The Beloved Disciple record in Revelation chapter 20:
2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
When the Rapture occurs, and satan undoubtedly knows it will, it will alert him that his time is short. At that point he will unleash his best destructive efforts.
In Revelation chapter 12:
17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The Rapture certainly takes place before the Great Tribulation, according to Scripture, but it’s not necessarily in that instant that the Great Tribulation begins. The conditions in the world will change rapidly and people will look to someone to lead them through the expanding chaos. How do you think people will respond when a significant departure of a large number of the population is suddenly missing? The adversary is now supporting the idea that aliens and UFO’S are a viable option.
Things are lining up. Is the conclusion of a convergence of multiple fronts at hand? The answer to that question is above my pay grade. Only FATHER knows!
