[Alexandr Korol]

The majority of Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Anglicans, and Lutherans believe that the Second Coming of Christ will be a single event that will be evident to everyone.

“Place. Dispensationalists believe that Christians will be raptured to heaven, with a possible return to Earth later. Catholic Bible commentator Walter Drum believes that 1 Thessalonians 4:14 refers to the gathering of the Church in heaven.

At the same time, Anglicans have varying views on this question. Some Anglican commentators (such as N. T. Wright) consider the destination to be a specific location on Earth, with Jerusalem often being named.”
