There are many problems with this article. First-the article doesn’t properly describe the rapture. Eternity does not start thereafter. Second, Jesus’ second coming doesn’t wipe away every tear. The second coming begins the millennium kingdom and there most certainly is still judgement in that period because Jesus rules with a rod of iron.

A proper understanding of Old Testament scripture is necessary if one wishes to understanding NT scripture and he Book of Revelation. There are over 600 references in Revelation to the OT. Jesus wiping away every tear doesn’t occur until eternity. If the author doesn’t have those basic facts correct, he certainly can’t understand deeper eschatological doctrine.

Yes, I noticed this too. It's hard to say you're accurately addressing a doctrine you disagree with when you don't even accurately define that doctrine to begin with. This article isn't really a sound exegesis of Scripture that addresses rapture eschatology, it's more of a Catholic attempt to do so, using information largely derived from popular culture and "folk belief."
