"shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air" 1Thessalonians 4:17 - Behold He cometh with clouds.... Revelation 1:7 - Also see - Revelation 14:14-16 - A lot more in the old testament.
I wish I could see that in my next grilled cheese sandwich.
Good post dude - And yes they will have an opportunity to be saved. But if you are wondering for yourself, don't wait to be saved, Jesus is knocking at the door to your heart and waiting to come in and there is nothing better then having a relationship with your creator.

I respect you for wanting to save non-believers but the thing is, they don't believe in Jesus.
Therefore it will never be "too late" because they do not need to be saved in the first place. There is no such thing as a savior except for living a meaningful, loving and beneficial life for others.
Like a little kid who thinks there is a monster under his bed, his mother will tell to say, "what you don't believe in, won't hurt you". soon he will forget about the figment of his imagination and be free from fear and get to sleep at night content.

Clouds are mist that rise from the Earth, how can anyone or anything descent to Earth on a cloud? Impossible, clouds never descent, they rise up.
The clouds are symbolic, not literal, as is so much of the Bible and eschatology and time prophecy.

May be according to Protestant Christians (Catholicism teaches God gave us free choice). But the way I see it (I myself am Catholic) as long as a person believes in a higher power and believes in treating people right they will go to heaven or paradise, or experience nirvana or whatever. It does not matter if a person is Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Sikh or whatever. As long as you treat people right and believe in a power higher than yourself which is what most religions believe in.
Personally I don't understand some Protestants who preach 24/7 about how people who don't accept Christ will go to Hell. It is your karma that is important. Some Protestants think all you have to do is believe and that's it. You can treat people any kind of way but when you are judged by God all you have to do is believe. I'm sorry but how am I supposed to live according to that. That is a bunch of BS to me!!

When Jesus appears it will be to late for the unbelievers.
Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. II Thessalonians 1:6-8
This clearly says when Jesus comes back that the unbelievers will not survive.
Now many people believe in a Secret Rapture but the question we need to ask is what does the Bible say about the Secret Rapture?
“No single verse specifically states Christ will come before the Tribulation.”
Tim LaHaye (author of “Left Behind”)
Friends the belief in the SECRET RAPTURE is a dangerous doctrine because it is not Biblical. Please read with an open mind. Nowhere in the scriptures does it make any reference of a “SECRET RAPTURE”. Many people reference I Thessalonians 4 but they don’t actually read the whole chapter read verse 16.
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.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Trump: for the TRUMPET shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. I Corinthians 15:52
These are some of the nosiest verses in the Bible how can it be a secret?
Where is the scripture that says “7 years of Tribulation”?
It cannot be found, because it is not in the Bible
Did God save Noah from the flood or through it
Did God save Israel from the plagues or through them
Did God save Daniel from the lions den or through it
But doesn’t the Bible say that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night?
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which THE HEAVENS SHALL PASS AWAY with a GREAT NOISE, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be BURNED up. II Peter 3:10
He comes as thief because it catches people by surprise but the result is destruction.
What does the Bible say will happen when Jesus comes back?
For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Matt 24:27
Everyone will see it you can’t miss it
Our God shall come, and shall NOT keep SILENT; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him. He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, that He may judge His people: “Gather My saints together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
Psalms 50:3
I beheld the earth, and indeed it was without form, and void; And the heavens, they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled, And all the hills moved back and forth. I beheld, and indeed there was no man, And all the birds of the heavens had fled. I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a wilderness, And all its cities were broken down At the presence of the LORD, By His fierce anger. Jeremiah 4:26
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:30,31
since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. II Thessalonians 1:6-8
1 angel rolled away the stone and 100 Roman soldiers collapsed in fear like dead men.
1 angel killed almost 200,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night
Jesus is coming with all his angels who will take flaming fire vengeance how can this be a secret?
But doesn’t the Bible say 1 shall be taken and 1 shall be left?
Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.” And they answered and said to Him, “Where, Lord?”
So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.” Luke 17:36, 37
Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. Matt 24:28
Notice how Jesus answers where the body and the vultures are gathered. The vultures devouring the flesh because those “Left Behind” will be dead.
The secret Rapture was created by a Catholic monk named Ribera. It was supposed to be used in the Counter Reformation, but no one believed it.
There is no Secret Rapture when Jesus comes he comes in glory the world does not go on for 7 years. When Jesus comes probation for sinners is over. We need to be ready now. Life does not continue on Earth after Jesus comes.
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. Revelation 22:11
