Scripture says that this return will be quiet and stealthy, just as a thief in the night would be when breaking into a home or business. However, according to prevailing Christian teaching, this return is to be noisy and loud with the crashing of planes, trains, and automobiles, as their operator(s) are taken up into heaven to be with the Lord, again making this event noticeable by all on the planet, and no one is unaware of this supposedly secret first coming!
