Not exactly universally accepted that way....go to KHouse.org and research some.
I have heard some view it as an event in which the spirits of Christians are lifted drastically. I don’t have the study to say definitively, but I tend to believe the more literal rapture scenario. There are scriptural precedents for such a thing e.g. Enoch, Elijah, and the lifted spirits theory sounds dreadfully subjective to me. Spirits will automatically lift as they are more dedicatedly invested in the Lord.
I’ve researched it alot; there is no Biblical basis that Christ secretly removes believers for 7 years and then comes back again for anyone else. The day of judgement doesn’t even happen until His return; where do all the believers go before judgement?? We ALL get judged on judgement day.
Read the parable of the wheat and the tares. It’s asked if they should remove the tares early and they’re told no, they’ll be separated from the wheat at harvest (Christ’s return) not 7 years before.
