The world is changing at a record pace. In our lifetime we are witnessing a transition from sovereign nations to a global system of government. Global health being controlled and orchestrated by the WHO (World Health Organization); a new world digital economic system of currency being implemented across the globe under the management of the World Economic Forum, and much more. There is a movement toward creating a world religious system that moves people away from the truth of God's Word - the Bible, toward a generic religion focusing on man being the god of their universe, setting its' own standards of ethics , morals and truth. This is happening with the Transhuman Movement. The advancement of AI, robotics, nanotechnologies, and genetic sciences have reached levels of concern as they merge to create "hybrid humans" and Humans 2.0. This seems daunting, but there are clear answers for us that were given to us in the Bible.
My books, "Preparing to Go Home - Our Final Destination" and "Coming Soon and Very Soon" are easy to understand and provide answers to what's happening in our world today. Answers in these books provide hope, encouragement and certainty in these difficult times.
This is a frequently asked question. In my book catalog there are several books that address this question. "Coming Soon and Very Soon" answers six questions specific to the Rapture event with several Scriptural references to lead you to the truth about the significance of the Rapture; Why it will happen, and What to expect when it does. For those "left behind" it will be the most difficult times ever experienced by mankind, but there is a way to know you can receive salvation through Jesus Christ, and escape the coming wrath of God to come during the seven year period of Tribulation.

I Thessalonians 4: 16-18 tells us "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words." This scripture makes it clear that believers in Jesus Christ who are living when He calls us, will be "caught up" or Raptured to meet Him in the air. This is a separate event from His second coming. It will happen in an instant (I Cor. 15:51-53)
There are notable differences between these two events:
1) Every eye will see Jesus at the second coming (Rev. 1:7); but the Rapture is never described as being visible to the world.
2) At the Rapture Christians will meet Jesus in the air (I Thess. 4:16-17); at the second coming, Jesus' feet will touch the Mount of Olives (Zech. 14:4)
3) At the Rapture Jesus will come to receive His bride. The second coming of Jesus he comes to judge (Matt. 25:31-46).
4) At the rapture, Christians will be taken and unbelievers will be left behind to experience the tribulation period (I Thess. 4:13-17). At the second coming, unbelievers will be taken away in judgement (Luke 17:34-36), and mortal believers will be left behind to enter Christ's millennial kingdom. (Matt. 25: 31-46).
