Where is the church after the rapture?
After the rapture, the church is in the presence of the Lord in a resurrected state. That company of believers is separated from all others and is with Christ, no longer on earth. The tribulation then unfolds on earth while the church remains in the Lord’s presence.
Les teaches that after the church has been raptured, that company of believers is now in the presence of the Lord in their resurrected state. This occurs before the seven years of tribulation. During the tribulation, multitudes on earth will believe and be martyred, but those believers are not members of the body of Christ. The church, however, is already with the Lord, having been raptured, while the tribulation unfolds on earth.
