When is this supposed to occur?
If somebody dies are they whisked away on the spot or do they lie in the cold ground until the Second Coming?
2) This is a difficult one. I believe the Bible has the dead rising up to meet [Christ] in the clouds, but then every damn xian story (near death claims, apologist videos, Chick tracks) have the person facing God immediately after death.

If (Heaven forbid) you should drop dead tomorrow, would you meet your Maker at the moment of death, or would you wait until later?
What would matter is where ever you going when you die, that is
where you will end up. All chances to repent will have ended.
