As we have already noted the Scriptures teach there are two phases or stages in Messiah's return. In the first stage Messiah will come "personally" (John 14:3; I Thessalonians 4:16), will come "for the believers" (John 14:3; I Thessalonians 4:17) and will come to the clouds (I Thessalonians 4:17).
This first stage is referred to as the "rapture" of the believers. The term "rapture" is taken from the Latin translation of the Greek word αρπαζω (pronounced arpazo) meaning "to be caught up," or "snatched up."
In the second stage Messiah will come "publicly" (Matthew 24:27; Revelation 1:7), he will come "with the believers" (Zechariah 14:5; Revelation 19:14) and will come to the earth (Zechariah 14:4; Acts 1:11). This second stage is Messiah's return to the earth to establish his kingdom and fulfill his promises to Israel.
We note three things Yeshua teaches about his return at the rapture of the believers. He answers the questions regarding the time of the rapture, if there will be any signs of the rapture and what will happen at the rapture. Then he concludes by providing a final directive in light of the rapture.
