Rapture is a false concept. It opposes Biblical truth.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to keep his promise. He is not slow in the way some people understand it. He is patient with you. He doesn’t want anyone to be destroyed. Instead, he wants all people to turn away from their sins. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar. Fire will destroy everything in them. God will judge the earth and everything in it. 11 So everything will be destroyed. And what kind of people should you be? You should lead holy and godly lives.
1 Thessalonians 4:13 Brothers and sisters, we want you to know what happens to those who die. We don’t want you to be sad, as other people are. They don’t have any hope. 14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again. When he returns, many who believe in him will have died already. We believe that God will bring them back with Jesus. 15 That agrees with what the Lord has said. When the Lord comes, many of us will still be alive. We tell you that we will certainly not go up before those who have died. 16 The Lord himself will come down from heaven. We will hear a loud command. We will hear the voice of the leader of the angels. We will hear a blast from God’s trumpet. Many who believe in Christ will have died already. They will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them. We will be taken up in the clouds. We will meet the Lord in the air. And we will be with him forever.
Peter and Paul write in clear language about Jesus' return... They tell us that the earth will no longer exist. NO ONE will be "left behind."
... Jesus told people during his lifetime on earth that they would live to see God's kingdom. He said that the kingdom was "not of this world." Jesus IS REIGNING RIGHT NOW.

the rapture aint gonna happen like people think.
christians who will not Deny Jesus will be beheaded, and wait in their white robes until ALL the people who believe are finished being killed. Then in the last day according to thess, those that dead shall rise first and those that are alive will be changed in a twinkling of an eye.
All those that offend and all the criminals will be vaporized into ashes and the meek shall inherit the earth, and the righteous shall stand on the ashes of the wicked. For an entire YEAR after that day, the righteous will begin to follow in their Resurrections and from that year, ALL mankind that has ever lived, that are still waiting to be ressurrected will Continue to come forth out of the grave.
Of course the debate of whether this is true or not, depends on How many saints rose with Christ in the resurrection of the first fruits! and if the Year of resurrection followed Jesus death and resurrection and not the second coming.
either way. ALL the wicked will die and will not come forth until near the end of the millenium. As it was written in the days of noah so shall the Last days be. The wicked died and the righteous man was Saved.

The rapture is a relatively new Christian concept, starting in the 1820's and becoming popular in the 1830's. I think it is safe to say this new concept really was not taught before and you don't have to worry about anyone being raptured away.

There will be no "rapture". It is not supported by the bible. It was made up by a preacher. All must endure til the end,and then all will stand before Jesus and bow and say that He is Lord and Savior

These thoughts have occured to me already. With a good percentage of the world instantly removed, chaos will be the opbious outcome.

there is no such thing as the rapture as it is put out there. It is not a biblical thing but, I noticed all the Bible only people swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. What's up with that?

What happens if you are on 747 and the pilots are the only ones ruptured? Then you should be scared.
