During the rapture, according to many Christian teachings, Jesus Christ will come suddenly and physically to "carry away" all believers, both living and resurrected dead Christians, from the earth to be with Him in the sky. This event marks the believers being caught up or "snatched away" to meet Jesus, receiving glorified bodies in the process. The rapture is often described as occurring before a period of great tribulation on earth, where the Antichrist rises to power and God's wrath is poured out on the world. Following the rapture, believers will eventually return with Christ in what is called His Glorious Appearing, when He establishes His millennial kingdom on earth, a thousand years of peace and righteous rule.

To summarize:

  • Christ will descend and believers (dead and alive) will be caught up to meet Him in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
  • The dead believers will be resurrected and given glorified, heavenly bodies.
  • This event precedes a tribulation period during which the Antichrist appears and God's judgment falls on the earth.
  • Those left on earth face the tribulation and must choose whether to follow Christ.
  • After the tribulation, Christ returns visibly with the raptured believers to rule on earth for a thousand years (Millennial Reign).
  • Satan is bound during this millennial kingdom, and peace reigns on earth.
  • After the millennium, final rebellion and judgment occur before eternity is established.

This outlines the typical sequence of events that many Christians expect will happen during and after the rapture.
