What happens on earth after the Rapture?
Immediately after the Rapture, the tribulation unfolds down here on earth. Believers are brought up into glory with the Lord Jesus, where a great event of rewards takes place in heaven. The earth is left to experience the tribulation period.
Les explains that immediately after the Rapture, believers are brought up into glory with the Lord Jesus. While they are in heaven, a great event takes place: the giving of rewards, as illustrated by the parable of the talents. The faithful servant who gained ten more is given rule over ten cities in the kingdom, showing that rewards are levels of responsibility as we rule and reign with Christ. Meanwhile, down below on earth, the tribulation is going to unfold. Those who have only wood, hay, and stubble will be saved but miss the benefits of reward.
