Those dead in Christ will not see the kingdom of God, and our incorruptible new bodies are a part of that kingdom. Just my opinion.
ETA: It is late, I am tired, and I need to stop internetting. Sigh.....The dead in Christ will see Christ return with alll of us in our glorified bodies,.... DUH!!! And I am gonna go out on a limb here and say Jesus is a part of the kingdom of God. I need sleep and apparently a conservator, lol

The dead in Christ will be coming back with Christ at The Second Coming, as well as the rest of The Church.
The dead in Christ are the Body of Christ/ The Church.
At the Rapture the dead in Christ rise first , then those who are alive in Christ at that time will be removed from this sin soaked earth in a twinkling of an eye, to be with the Lord forever.

“After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.””
Revelation 4:1 NKJV
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
I Thessalonians 4:16-18 NKJV

Elisha was seen going up and Enoch is known for going up. It doesn’t say that Enoch was seen going up but they knew it somehow. I hope it’s seen. So the people on the line of believing will have something to point towards God.

I think that we will be changed, the dead in Christ will rise, and then we will rise all in in a twinkle of an eye, with maybe a nanosecond between the dead in Christ rising and the rest of us rising. Really no discernible time at all.
What I have always wondered is, if when the dead in Christ rise, will the graves and all the cremation urns be broken wide open and left that way so that the ones left behind can see it.

Was Christ tomb opened after He resurrected?
Could people see that the tomb was empty after the fact?

I was just thinking it seems Paul would have said something like the world cannot see the transformation or ascending saints. I just keep going back to Peter James and John seeing Jesus ascension. And prior they had seen Him transfigured.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and I just listened to a very good study by Chuck Missler. In it he references seven “raptures” through the Bible: Enoch (Gen. 5:24; Heb. 11:5), Elijah (2 Kings 2:1, 11), Jesus (Mark 16:9; Acts 1:9-11; Rev. 12:5), Philip (Acts 8:39), Paul (2 Cor. 12:2-4), the Body of Christ (1 Thess. 4:17), and John (Rev. 4:1).
The word “harpazo” is used in these four instances: Rev. 12:5, Acts 8:39, 2 Cor. 12:2-4 and 1 Thess. 4:17.
For me personally, when looking at all of these, it’s hard to say exactly how it will go. There is definitely variation in the events listed here, and maybe not all of these are considered rapture “types.”
If I had to guess, based on looking at these and when the word harpazo is used specifically, it’ll be an instantaneous catching up/snatching away. I personally don’t see a “floating up” kind of thing, but maybe.
Regardless, it’ll be amazing. And it sure is fun to think about!

Imo Enoch told his loved ones, there's bound to be people see it or aware of something happening that'll be for some absolutely terrifying, who knows maybe they'll be the one's that becomes believers and start a huge revival and awakening.

Christians who are in the presence of, or speaking with, a non-believer, who disappears in an instant is going to be seen by
the unbeliever. Instantaneous empty seats on a plane, train or bus are going to be seen by ones left behind. There's no way this is
going to happen in secret...........

I think that much of the world will reject that it was the Rapture after it has happened. Reason being, only biblical Christians will go up. Cultural Christians, the ones who belong to churches but were never actually born again, will not be part of the Rapture. There are many people who believe they are Christians for reasons that have nothing to do with Jesus. There will be many churches still in operation AFTER the Rapture takes place. Christians in-name-only will be left behind in sufficient numbers to allow for an alternate explanation as to why some Christians disappeared.
