Jack Van Impe explains that the Rapture and the Second Coming are separate events, noting that the Rapture occurs in the heavenlies while the Second Coming happens when believers return to Earth with Jesus seven years later. He emphasizes that the Rapture cannot be called the Second Coming because the meeting takes place in the clouds rather than on the ground.
