Well, it is *NOT* the end of the world.  Taking a pre-trib position
for the sake of discussion, if that catching away were to occur today,
we would still have 7 years of tribulation, followed by 1000 years of
millenial reign, followed by "a little while" (when Satan is loosed
again) before the end of the world:  1007 years minimum.
