I do believe in the biblical upcoming phenomenon called the "Rapture" or "Harpazo." After all my studies, I lean towards a pre-7year-tribulation view. I also believe in the imminency of this "catching up to meet the Lord Jesus in the air".
The following rapture teaching by Chuck Missler is one of the most comprehensive I've ever come across...
Further, Pastor Jon Courson, explains how even the early church / fore-fathers taught about the pre-tribulation Rapture (i.e., the Rapture is not a new viewpoint or recent teaching):
------------
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
Amplified Bible (AMP)
15 For this we declare to you by the Lord’s [own] word, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall in no way precede [into His presence] or have any advantage at all over those who have previously fallen asleep [in Him in death].
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud cry of summons, with the shout of an archangel, and with the blast of the trumpet of God. And those who have departed this life in Christ will rise first.
17 Then we, the living ones who remain [on the earth], shall simultaneously be caught up along with [the resurrected dead] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so always (through the eternity of the eternities) we shall be with the Lord!
