Revelation 19:11-16

11.  And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12.  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13.  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14.  And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15.  And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16.  And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Sometimes people get the second coming of Christ and the rapture of the Church mixed up, but they are two distinct events at two distinct times. 

The rapture, or the ‘catching up’ of the Church takes place seven years prior to the second coming of Christ. 

The rapture is the catching up of the dead in Christ and those who are living at the time, literally, “the Church”, into heaven - and the second coming of Christ is the setting up a heavenly government on earth at Mount Zion to reign and rule with His saints for the next one thousand years."
