The Christians at that time, however, will be spared as they will go up into the heavens, quite magically, and the sinners will be killed. Some (pre-trib folks) think they Go Up before the Tribulation, others think they will have to endure to test their faith, then go up...the post-trib folks.

All of this culminates in Israel, so that's the attraction. They get to go to Heaven then without dying.
