NEXT, LET ME SHOW YOU THAT THE BIBLE SPOKE OF CHRIST REMOVING TRUE CHRISTIANS FROM THIS EARTH CENTURIES BEFORE THIS VANISHING HAPPENED.

Christians who have died prior to Christ removing Christians from the earth benefited from this blessed event just as much as Christians who were living when this event occurred. You see, when a Christian dies his/her spirit goes directly to be with Christ, despite the fact that the physical body is funeralized and buried in the ground, at sea, etc. This is why Apostle Paul could speak about death allowing him to go and literally, “be with Christ”. Apostle Paul was not telling some joke or fairy tale (myth). Philippians 1:21-24 written by Paul to the believers in Philippi says: “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.”

Let me paraphrase how the Bible foretold how Christ would remove Christians from the earth:
Again, when a Christian dies his/her spirit goes to be with Christ. When Christ descends into earth’s atmosphere to call forth Christians out of the earth (referred to by the term “Rapture”) to live with him forever in divine peace, joy, and happiness, Christ will bring the spirits of those dear dead ones and reunite the spirit with the essence of the physical portion of each person’s body that was buried in the ground, at sea, etc. What this essence is exactly, I don’t claim to know, but I do know it will be some representative portion of the body that housed the spirit of these dear ones during their earthly lifetime. And, the new physical body that the spirit is reunited with will be miraculously supernatural, no longer subject to such unpleasant events as death or sickness
(see I Corinthians 15:53)

But hold on, those who were following Christ and still alive at the time of the Rapture were also to be changed into immortal beings free from death and pain.

I Thessalonians 4:14-18 says:
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
