There is no “Rapture”.

The concept denies the Second Coming of Christ, by injecting a prior judgement.

Of course there’s the Rapture of the Believers....of which our Judgement was already determined at the cross.

Further Christ’s coming for the believers at the Rapture...his feet never touch the ground..., rather this transition occurs in the air. It is a coming for His people....before God’s wrath begins......

When he comes later...His feet will be on the Mount of Olives. So nobody who takes the position of the Rapture would deny the Second coming of Christ as you stated.

The Rapture theory originated in the 19th Century. It was not believed or taught among historical Christians prior to that very late date. The Second Coming of the Messiah has been believed and taught by historical Christians in every century without exception.

The “Raising Up” is already happening and Christ is “Already Here!” Just not “Raised Up” the way most people understand it.

Let’s just say that Christ is Here on earth and we are meeting Him in a way that wee see Him like the lightning in the East is seen in the West.

IIThessalonians 2:1-4

Now we beseech you brethren by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him. 2. The ye be not soon shaken in mine, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3. Ler no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. 4. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God shewing himself that he is God. 5...........11.And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.

Those people who have heard the gospel and rejected the call of the Holy Spirit will be sent strong delusion to believe the lie of the Antichrist.

The Revelation of Jesus deals with the Jews and Israel. As Paul said, "Hath God forgotten His people? God forbid, for I too, am an Israelite. But they are blind in part for a season until the time of the Genitiles be fulfilled."
