To be caught away
Christ will appear. The trump will sound. Dead in Christ shall rise. Then we which are alive and remain. Then the judgement. Then we will enter into His glory.

will the resurrection take place in relation to Christ's return?
In relation to judgment? In relation to glory? (This is NOT the
place to debate various theories of the rapture and the
millennium.)
In I Thes 4:17 word used for rapture is "caught up". They will not see death but will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air.
At the return of Lord, while he is in the clouds, the trumphet will sound and all the saints will be gathered all though out the earth, the dead will rise up first and will be ressurrected, and then those who are still alive will be raptured and meet the Lord int the air and will live with the Lord forever with uncorruptible bodies, and then after these the judgment will come and judge the dead according to what they have done.

" Rapture " Caught up or carrying away, when Christ returns all believers-- dead and alive-- will be united, never to suffer or die again.
Because Jesus Christ came back to life, so will all believers, All Christians, including those living when Christ returns, will live with Christ forever. All believers throughtout history will stand reunited in God"s very presence. Christ will judge sin and set up His eternal kingdom. The day of the Lord will include both punishment and blessing.
1. Christ will return visibly, with a loud command.
2. There will be an unmistakable cry from an angel
3. There will be a trumpet fanfare such as has never been heard
4. Believers in Christ who are dead will rise from their graves.
5. Believers who are alive will be caught up in the clouds to meet Christ.

The word is resurrection and that will take place at the return of theLord for His chosen ones who have kept the faith and chose to follow Him. It will happen before judgement for then we will stand before God to be judged for the works done in the body. It will come before the glory that God has in store for His elect in Christ.

The word resurrection is used in the Bible instead of rapture. Immediately upon Christ's return, He will be seen in the clouds and the dead will be raised first. Then all still living will be caught up with them together and will meet the Lord in the air. At that time the judgement of all will take place - At the sound of the trumpet, all will be raised imperishable and will be changed n the twinkling of an eye. The righteous will be taken to live forever in glory with the Lord and the unrighteous will live forever in condemnation.

The word used in the Bible for "Rapture" is "Resurrection."
When will the resurrection take place in relation to Christ's return? In relation to judgment? In relation to glory?

The Bible uses the word "resurrection" for "rapture" is not found anywhere in any biblical text. The Christ will appear; the angelic trumpet will call/announce; God's people will be gathered [the dead and then those still alive;] all will appear before the judgement seat; then those chosen shall enter into glory.

The word used in the Bible instead of 'rapture' is 'resurrection'. I believe the two mean the same. It is the time when God changes our corruptible bodies into incorruptible and eternal bodies so we could with Christ for ever.
The resurrection takes place after the trumpet sound (1Cor. 15:51-52). In relation to judgement, the dead will be raised to be judged by Christ whom God has appointed to judge the world. Finally, the elect of God shall be raised to live in Glory for ever.

After Jesus appears in the heavens, the angel's trumpet call will summon all God's people. Then Christians will be gathered, both dead and alive with Him (Matt. 13:24-30; 37-43; 47-50; 25:31-46; 2 Thess. 2:1.
Then the Great White Throne Judgment will take for the unbelievers (Rev 20:11-13).
The saved will enter into glory and the unsaved will go to hell and the lake of fire along with satan and the fallen angels.

The words used instead of rapture are: caught up, gather, raised, gave up.
When the Son of Man appear in the sky, coming on the clouds of the sky, at the sound of the trumpet call. Everyone will appear before the judgment seat of God. then the very elect/ saved believers will enter into glory forever.

We who are still alive and left will be caught up with the dead in Christ. The dead in Christ first, then us whom remain will meet the Lord in the air.
Those who died in Christ before us will be judged first, then us.
The righteous to eternal life---- the unrighteous to eternal condemnation.
We will enter into Christ's glory after resurrection.

Just before the rapture takes place, an angel's trumpet will sound, summoning all believers.Then the dead in Christ will be resurrected first, follow by those who are still living.Those who are alive at Christ's return will receive their glorifyed new bodies.
Believers will appear before God in judgment at what is known as the "Bema Seat." This is not a judgment for sins since our sins were forgiven when we accepted Jesus as our Savior. Rather, it will be a judgment of our Christian service.
The dead who did not accept Christ while alive will be resurrected at the end of millinium. Because they all died in their sins,
they will be declared "guilty" and sentenced to the lake of fire for all eternity.

The words used in place of 'rapture' are caught up, raised and resurection.
The resurrection will take place right after the angel's trumpet sounds the coming of Christ.
I am inclined to believe that the believers will be judged for their service on earth right after the rapture but some form of judgement would appear to occur at the time believers reach the presence of God right after their physical death in order to be assigned some form of service in Heaven. The judgement of the believers will occur before the judgement of the unbelievers.
The rapture will instantly place us in glory.
