Regarding the non-heretical most certainly indisputable Rapture of the Saints,
the encouraging last verse from the old hymn

"Sweet Hour of Prayer"
by William Walford:

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
I view my home and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing through the air,
"Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!"

(The first three stanzas and accompanying story may be found here (click)

If you're around to view the seen shown with the article by Coniaris, you will be on the wrong end of the Rapture.

Matthew 24 is misunderstood by those who refuse to have a dispensational perspective. And that such a perspective is needed is proven by comparing the so called Olivet Discourse in Luke 21 (really the Temple Discourse, given to believers in Him -the earliest Christians- and which helped them know the time to flee Jerusalem with Titus’s armies coming) and the Actual Olivet Discourse found in Mark and Mat5thew. Without a dispensational perspective, one conflates two different events related in Matthew 24, as only the physical touchdown of Jesus in His Second Coming onto the Earth. The Rapture happens in the air ... the Second Coming happens upon the Earth and we who are taken prior int he Rapture will be coming back to the Earth with HIM.
