The Rapture: I Thessalonians 4:16 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air,
The Second Coming of Christ: Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12: His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14: And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
I believe the Born Again believers are covered by the shed blood of Jesus and are in heaven at this time. They were caught up at the time of the Rapture. The armies of Raptured Saints then follow Jesus on the white horse back to earth for the final battle. These Saints are clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Revelation 19:15: And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16: And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17: And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18: That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19: And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20: And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21: And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

The question of the Second Coming has given rise to all sorts of ideas. The majority of these however really don’t examine the question from the Bible’s point of view. The Biblical account is at variance with most of these interpretations, and particularly with the Futurist explanation of prophecy which centers on the future rise of the anti-christ.
Jesus is coming again as most Evangelical Christians currently believe and we are in fact currently witnessing the actual Second Coming (in slow motion) even as I write this response. However, the prophesied events leading up to the Second Coming are taking place over a period of years and so many people do not notice them. They also do not notice because of the interpretation that they put on the words of the Bible, which is leading them to look for signs that are not going to happen.
Right at this time we are in the final events of the Sixth Bowl judgment. The full story can be read in the free book, “The Second Coming in slow Motion” found on SCRIBD at http://www.scribd.com/doc/14971456/The-Second-Coming-in-Slow-Motion
