'Rapture' is but a word, certainly as an updated expression of the 1800's, to talk about what the Scriptures describe multiple times in other expressions such as 'harvest', 'taken', 'in mid-air', 'into the clouds', 'gathering', etc.

The process described is clearly the lift of people, while still living on earth, into vehicles to heaven / space.

If you would take the time to study my works, I reply to about any of your questions, including who, what, when, why and how Christ returns. First, as a Male Child to guide his earthly parents, the Two Witnesses. Then, as the Lord of the earth to take His chosen ones, helped by His Servants, the benevolent ETs ('angels'), and then to destroy the left behinds, most of them, actually.

At last, He will reign the 7 first years in the New Jerusalem, to then let His throne to the following 143 kings (143 x 7 years = 1,001 years) in order to rest during His millennium, the '7th Day' (here God manifested, Christ the Son, is seen as God, the Father).

At the end of that Millennium, He will judge the inhabitants of the New Jerusalem, while the Two Witnesses, 'Death' and 'Hades', will judge those outside the New Jerusalem, the dead. On one hand (Christ), the chosen ones will become angels themselves. On the other hand ('Death' and 'Hades'), the chosen ones will restart a new civilization on earth as simple humans, starting a new cycle of incarnations. All the others will be no more, at all (souls destroyed).

Most of the people won't humble themselves because they think they know it all, based on biased logic. I could be helped by an army of followers, communicating on those works, that it wouldn't change their minds, except for some of them. THAT is prophesied. SO, help yourself...and share!
