Succinctly,the two differences are in timing & destination.Those who teach the Rapture frequently begin with I Thes.4v16-17, They make assumptions that are suspect. Worst, they fail to consider the clear order of events presented in Revelation, pinpointing when this astounding miracle will occur. At some point in the near future, Jesus Christ will return and snatch away all Christians on the earth. Those who believe in Jesus will rise to meet Him in the air, & He will whisk them off to heaven for a 3 to-seven-year Marriage Supper. In the meantime here on earth, untold destruction occurs when professing born-again Christians suddenly vanish while at the controls of cars, trucks,trains, airplanes, heavy equipment, & the like. Unsaved relatives & friends will frantically & unsuccessfully search for their raptured loved ones. The media will provide 24-hour coverage of the mysterious disappearance of millions of people, speculating wildly on its cause everything from a mass alien abduction to shifting dimensions and levels of consciousness.
