Will the people left just all eventually die and go to hell? Will Earth be left in a burning inferno? And would God so readily abandon that which he spent 7 days creating?
Not trying to bash Christians here, I'm genuinely curious-it's a sticking point for me, and one of the reasons I'm no longer Christian.

No. The time after the taking up of the church will be a glorious time for evangelism. 144,000 people will reach the entire globe in 3.5 years (granted, not everybody will accept Jesus as Savior). Then, 2 people will captivate the world's attention as they proclaim the Good news of the Gospel of Jesus.
During this time, enemies of Christ will rise to power and try to convert the world to their false religion (most likely, it will be Islam). After the 7 years is up, Jesus will return to the earth to restore order, long life, health and peace.
He will rule as King of the Planet for 1000 years. After that, the earth will be destroyed by fire and a new heaven and earth will be created in its place.
Those that know Jesus as Lord will assist Him in His reign. Those that reject Jesus (as you have apparently done), will be sent to Hades-Sheol for punishment. After a short time, you will be judged for your acts. The act that will destine you to Hell will be the rejection of Jesus as Savior.

Oh, the greatest revival in history is going to occur during the tribulation hour. The Church has been raptured Come up hither! Revelation 4:1. We’ve missed the tribulation hour, Revelation 3:10. Now, God chooses 144,000 flaming evangelists in Revelation 7 verse 4 - 8 to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom, Matthew 24:14. Gospel means Good News and this is the good news that the King is coming. Now watch what happens in that seventh chapter through these 144,000. They’re saved and it says the number is like the sand of the sea, millions upon millions upon millions. How do I know? Because verse 14 says “these are they which have come out of the great tribulation and have washed their robes and have made themselves white in the Blood of the Lamb” they got saved during the time of the tribulation because of the preaching of the Blood.

After the rapture, there will be a certain amount of time for the world to turn into kayos. Everyone that is able to keep the faith of God and come thru this terrible time will be saved also. But the ones that don't, that take the mark of the beast, or follows after the devil, will be doomed for hells fire. This is called the tribulation period. Read about in Revelation of the KJV of the Bible.

the ones that don't go to Heaven will have a chance to get saved unless you are one of the unlucky ones that a plane falls on or a car hits because the saved driver went to Heaven in the rapture. It will be a bad time for all the unsaved at this point. they will endure alot of punishment if they do accept Christ they wont go straight to Heaven you will still be here and punished until its time for the 1000 year reign which means you will have 7 years of hell on earth. unless you get lucky accept God then get beheaded for not taking the mark of the beast or worshiping the anti Christ then you will be good but if not you got 7 years of hell on earth then you will get to go to Heaven with the rest of us..Thank God I will be gone at that point and wont have to worry about anything ever again..
