I respect your right to disagree with me on this subject, but I could NEVER believe your position.
So have you thought of why we are
CALLED OUT, from the earth, only to do a U-Turn in the upper atmosphere and come right back down. PLUS: You destroy HIS mirroring a JEWISH WEDDING, which has to take place in the New Dwelling place IN HIS FATHER'S HOUSE.
John 14:2-3 (NJB)
2 In my Father's house there are many places to live in; otherwise I would have told you. I am going now to prepare a place for you,
3 and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you to myself, so that you may be with me where I am.
HE does not say, I come to you! We have to go UP TO HIM.
Those verses I just quoted, is LINE for LINE what a JEWISH BRIDEGROOM WOULD SAY to HIS BRIDE after she had DRANK from the Betrothal Cup, in Orthodox Judaism for 3000 or more YEARS. Why would HE start a JEWISH WEDDING, and abandon it? Would that not make Him a person that Misleads ? ? ?

PLUS:
1 Thessalonians 5:9 (NASB)
9
For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
And WRATH happens in Chapter 6 of Revelation.
Revelation 3:10 (NASB)
10
'Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
That is why I believe in the Rapture and the Second Coming
cannot be at the same time.
