These conditions of Zechariah 14 can only occur in an intermediate kingdom between the present age and the eternal state. While people from all nations are being saved in the church age, the nations themselves do not obey our Lord (see Psalm 2). In fact, they persecute those who belong to the Lord. In the coming kingdom Jesus will rule the nations while He is physically present on earth.

You may be interested in David Currie’s book - Rapture, The End Times Error That Leaves The Bible Behind. He was a former fundamentalist that once believed in the rapture as well. He goes through many verses which he once believed to pointed to the rapture. He also goes through the church fathers. It might be worth the investment to you. Just saying. Check out the reviews at amazon.
God Bless You on your journey!
