Will all be gathered up. All of God's people since the beginning of time will be gathered up, as the dead rise to life and the living are changed (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). To meet the Lord in the air. Nothing says Jesus will ever set foot on earth again. His people will rise to meet him! [Judgment will be a separation. See Matthew 25:31-33.] And so we will always be with the Lord. The Church Militant [the messianic community active on earth] will become the Church Triumphant [the messianic community in the eternal world - in God's presence]. The church of Christ does not TERMINATE, but is united with Christ as a bride to her husband, and the Wedding Feast continues forever without end (Revelation 19:5-9)!
