On the day that Christ returns, what will happen to those who are driving and flying airplanes?

I imagine an airplane pilot being jerked out of his plane to go to heaven while some of the passengers wait until the plane crashes and they die? How will this work?

The Bible says when Jesus returns, the dead in Christ will be awakened and meet the lord in the clouds. Meanwhile the ones alive in Christ will be caught up with them afterwards.

    Since there never was a Jesus there is nothing to worry about.

    This question is based upon a misunderstanding of God's Word.

    No where in the bible does it talk about a 7 year tribulation with the saved going instantly to heaven, prior to the tribulation.

    Jesus tells us the tribulation ends prior to the gathering and not before. Thus all mankind living, included those who believe in the Lord, must endure to the end of the tribulation to be saved.

    Those saved are saved, those not saved die by God judgment. So it doesn't matter if they are in a plane or driving a car or asleep in their bed.

    This event will occur in a 'moment,' (Biblical Greek: 'atomos' the smallest and only indivisible unit of time). It is also described as a 'flash,' (Biblical Greek: 'rhipe,' both found in 1 Corinthians 15:52).

    In essence, everything will instantly cease to 'happen' as we understand it, like time being frozen in place. We see another example of this occurring when Jesus was tested by the devil in the wilderness. Scripture records that Jesus was taken to experience 'all of the kingdoms of the world and their glory' in a single moment of time, (Luke 4:5, Matthew 4:8). The words there are 'stigme chronos' (Biblical Greek: literally 'carving of time').

    Time itself is explained to be an experience made up of individual 'carvings' of GOD run together into a chronology. GOD is not bound within time with us, (Psalm 90:4, 2 Peter 3:8). The presumption that time exists in only one simplistic linear dimension of experience is simply that, a presumption. The Bible is clear that Jesus actually experienced so many events while visiting us that the world is incapable of writing them all down, (John 21:25). Christ's return is the beginning of this type of 'parallel' experience which demonstrates that 'time' itself is not what atheistic science presumes it to be. This is also known as the 'appearing,' when the delusional and limited view of the cosmos which GOD permitted to emerge will suddenly and unexpectedly end, (2 Thessalonians 2:11).

    Usually there is a copilot, and if they are both caught up all those who are not caught up is in trouble.

    I always assume God isn't some kind of idiot, it makes a lot more sense that way.

    Maybe some of the atheists on board might land on a desert island.

    They could make bows and arrows, and form an atheist paradise.
