This question is about the sequence of events that lead to THE END OF THE WORLD!

If I understand correctly, the antichrist will come before Christ and many will be fooled by him because he will perform miracles and declare himself God but he has no parts of God in him. There is no rapture. When Jesus returns, those that are his will instantly be changed to spirit form like Jesus and meet him in the clouds along with the saints of old (Moses, David, Joshua and many others). Christ will come when man is on the brink of destroying all life on earth. There are other pivotal events that have to take place first as well. We are already seeing the downfall of the US.
