In addition, and simply put,
At the rapture, the belivers (dead in Christ) meet Jesus in the air. At the second coming, Jesus returns to the earth to judge and usher in the Kingdom centered in Jerusalem. Two different events.
While I believe that the Church Saints are with Christ during the 7 yr. tribulation, I think the comforter Jesus promised is the Holy Spirit which we have had since Acts Ch 2.
Agreed, 2 entirely different events and at different times.
Its one of the most compelling arguments to me and one
easily understood.
