As the Church goes up they will come down from Heaven. They are Elijah and Moses. The bible is full of info on this. Remember that the Jew today is waiting for Elijah to come back.

“In the Jewish faith Elijah's memory is preserved in a variety of ways. At the Passover Seder a cup of wine is placed on the table, and a door is left open to allow Elijah the Prophet to enter and drink. At every Brit (circumcision ceremony) a seat is set for Elijah. And Jews sing of Elijah at the end of Shabbat, singing “speedily, in our days...along with the Messiah, son of David, to redeem us.”

The time that follows the rapture of the Church will be a supernatural time of signs and wonders. Demonic and Heavenly war also transpires. These events will really take place here on the earth. It's the heart that will have to choose in the end!

The only problem with that is that Jesus says Elijah already came - John the Baptist.

The “rapture” described by Paul will occur at Christ's second coming after the “tribulation” (i.e., at the end of history), at which time there will be the resurrection and judgment day for all. The last day will come “like a thief in the night,” bringing destruction to unbelievers but salvation to believers (1 Thess. 5:1 - 10). The “rapture” will occur after the appearance and work of the Antichrist (2 Thess. 2:3). Christ will gather His elect at the end of the time of tribulation (Matt. 24:29-31). At this time He will judge all people (Matt. 25:31-46). When the believers are raised, death is destroyed (1 Cor. 15:26, 51-57). This destruction of death occurs after the so-called “millennium” (Rev. 20:11-15). This indicates that the “rapture” occurs after the symbolical 1000 years of Revelation 20.

The Scriptures teach that there will be one final judgment day which will take place at Christ's second advent at the end of human history it. (Matt. 13:40-43; 25:31-32; 2 Pet. 3:7; 2 Thess. 1:7-10; Zephaniah 1; Isaiah 24-27). This last day is referred to as “the day of judgment” (Matt. 11:22), “that day” (Matt. 7:22; 2 Thess. 1:10; 2 Tim. 4:8; Isaiah 24-27, Zephaniah 1), and the “day of wrath” (Rom. 2:5; Zeph. 1:15). There is nothing in these texts that would support the view that there will be two, three, or more judgments separated by periods of time, or one long, drawn-out trial.
