Lots of verses need to be tortured and forced together like jigsaw pieces from different puzzles to come up with a blurry picture that called "The Rapture", a term that does not even appear in the Bible. I studied the important words relating to the doctrine of the Rapture in their original languages which often renders a different meaning than the King James English. But the Rapture plays well to the unlearned Christian masses who never really study the Bible or know it other than what they hear spouted at them over the pulpit or on tv.
A funny story about the Rapture that I knew about from all those years ago. I belonged to a strict Pentecostal church--no tv or movies, women must wear dresses and never cut their hair--a "holiness" church. The youngest brother of a friend there was 10 years old and he tried to live the holiness life, but I think it was Star Wars that was coming out and so he snuck off with friends to see it on a Saturday afternoon. When he got home nobody was there so he tried to call around to find his parents or brother and no luck. He kept trying to call others in the church but couldn't get them either. Now he started to panic because he was convinced that the Rapture had happened and he was, LEFT BEHIND because he went and saw a movie.
Like myself he eventually became an atheist and was a standup comic and he used that story in his act.
