I agree with that but I don’t believe Christians magically get taken from earth 7 years before the destruction. I DO believe we are marked, just like in Ezekiel, God tells him to mark the foreheads of those that sigh and cry over the abominations, and they will be kept safe. I believe the same for us.

We will be raptured but the word associated with meeting Jesus in the clouds is a greek word that means ‘as if meeting an official and returning with him’. There is no extended period of time where the earth is without believers.
I Thessalonians 4:16
The Return of the Lord
Verse:…15For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.…
THE ABOVE IS WHEN JESUS COMES AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT FOR THE CHURCH! THE CALLING AWAY IS THE RAPTURE AND IS NOT VISIBLE TO THE EARTH AS A WHOLE, ONLY BELIEVERS WHO ARE LIVING RIGHT, AND WATCHING FOR HIM. See Parable of ten virgins for that info.
LOOK UP THE SCRIPTURES.
AT BATTLE OF ARMEGEDDON JESUS COMES TO DEFEND ISRAEL WITH THE ARMIES OF HEAVEN WITH HIM, AND EVERY EYE WILL BEHOLD HIM!
