The only thing anyone should really "worry" about is being right with God.

I gotta add my AMEN to that too.

But I do find it interesting that there is no mention of a 'rapture' or pre-millenialism in christian writings until around the year 1830 when John Darby popularized the teaching of Margaret Macdonald on the two-fold nature of Christ's return. It's difficult to think that the apostles wouldn't have taught more on this subject or that early writers would have picked up on it.

Sorry, 1st century writing by Erasmus was discovered a few years ago ... makes reference to the rapture.
