“Pray it happens in the summer —”
I live in Central Texas and South Louisiana.
At around 11:00 a.m. each day of the summer, it feels like a rapture.

Only one way to prepare. Repent, ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and enter your life as Lord and Savior. Then look up! For your salvation draweth nigh. Trust in Christ and Him only
Isaiah 26
19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
“..the time for the rapture may be near..”

Your #9 is ... off the mark.
You are in error early on in your essay linked. The brigal Party goes out to meet the Bridegroom AND RETURN TO THE FATHER’s HOUSE, not the Earth ... unless the father you refer to is the prince of the power of the air.
I’ve been to the dentist! Going to the afterlife with clean teeth, or my mother would be so embarrassed.
In 70AD 'the Abomination of Desolation did not stand int he Holy of Holies proclaiming himself god. The Roman soldiers stood their banners at the gate, not in the burned down Temple. The devastation fo the Temple was so complete, Vespasian ordered the rubble 'kilned for the gold' melted from the stone surfaces. Orders had been givent o preserve the Temple, nut it burned utterly.
1- For the Bride of Christ, The Body of Christ to be outta here when the wrath of God is poured out in ever increasing severity
2- the evangelizing of humanity will be done by a chosen 144,000 JEWISH evangelists; Daniel's seventieth week, according to GOD, is to 'put an end to sin in Israel'. The Tribulation is about Israel, for the Age of Grace has ended with the snatching away of the Bride of Christ. And to be clear, the Rapture is not a hidden or secret event. It will cause devastation to civilization unseen in all of human History.
One way to prepare is to avoid becoming a scoffer like the author of this article.
Peter warned about scoffers who deny Christ’s return. (2 Pet. 3)
Paul warned about those who deny the resurrection. (1 Cor. 15)
Christ warned about false prophets and false Christs. (Mat. 25)
John warned about the mark of the beast. (Rev. 13)
Lot’s of other warnings which this false teacher is essentially telling his audience to ignore.
Christ’s sheep will listen to His voice and flee from voices like this false teacher. (John 10)
I’m confident in God. But this is Bo & Peep stuff.
In addition to rejecting scoffers, Another way to prepare for the rapture is to reject those who quote scriptures out of context. Only part of Matt 24 is about the rapture
Learn to be patient, ‘cuz you’re going to have to wait forever.
-—(If you are in Kansas, sorry, but you are in serious trouble.)-—
Hey Charlie, there is a Mount Sunflower in western Kansas. Granted, it’s more of a mound than a mountain, but get there early because if all the Kansans head there, it’ll be a might crowded!
Read your Bible daily. Don’t read exogesistic interpretation of the Bible, read THE BIBLE, yourself.
Rapture is about relationship, not knowledge. You cannot create relationship with second hand knowledge. Nor can you buy a stairway to Heaven with works.
The bullet list is perfect and ironic example of totally missing the point of scripture, substituting logic for spiritual wisdom.
I certainly hope you forgot the /s tag.
I will stick with the bible thanks, which states the Lord returns only once immediately after the Tribulation. Prepare for the Tribulation, faith through intimate relationship with the Father, the Son Jesus and Holy Spirit.
