Came across some interesting posts regarding the end times.
Open Source Theology :: The ‘rapture’ in its literary and historical setting
Conclusion
The Old Testament allusions from which this passage has been constructed consistently point to an event within history that sees the deliverance of the people of God from persecution, the overthrow of the pagan oppressor, the vindication of those who have trusted in YHWH even to the extent of losing their lives, and the re-establishment of the people under the reign of the Son of man. Paul constructs this narrative for a historical community that faced severe and protracted opposition from a world-conquering pagan power. We can hardly escape the conclusion that this passage is meant to pre-describe in the prophetic language of the Old Testament the eventual vindication of the suffering church against its imperial enemy.
