I disagree. He will return in the air for His Church just prior to the tribulation, then He will return to the Earth to establish His millenial reign.
There is honest disagreement on this one and YMMV, but I have studied this a long time and believe there is more than reasonable evidence of this.

According to the book of Mom MD.
According to the Bible, it is Yeshua’s return at the Last Trump that ends Satan’s Tribulation of the Saints.

I agree and the moment He calls for the Bride is the Second Trumpet not a part of ones written in The Revelation but rather GOD's command Bring forth the Bride which in tradition means a trumpet blast saying let the wedding feast and ceremony commence. Two blast. The first announcing the betrothed over 2000 years the second one announcing that The Grooms Father says all provisions for the Brides home have been fulfilled to his requirements and He tells his son bring forth the Bride. No one knows the hour but the Father.
To me the rapture isn't an issue as far as condemning anyone or right or wrong in relation to ones salvation. GOD did call out people and even nations before passing judgement. He called out Noah and his family, He called out Lot and his family, He called out Israel from Egypt, as examples.
He also stood by others under immense times of danger. He was with Daniel. He was in the furnace with the three. Stephen looked in the heavens and saw Jesus as he took his last breath. I forgot the other important one. While on the cross when Christ earthly body passed the graves opened up and the believers who were dead arose.
Once the dispensation of Grace is ended and the church called out and it is as the time Noah entered the ark or Lot left Sodom. Up until that moment normal events will occur such as weddings etc. The world as a whole will not be looking for Christ return. And even in that hour some may in their minds be putting off their personal decision to accept GOD's simple plan of salvation through Jesus. They have things they wanna do first or say Christ isn't returning right now so I'll do something else rather than be ready in spirit. No one knows the day or hour of Christ return.
