And actually, “rapture” has a nice sound to it. Sounds sort of ethereal, with a sense of urgency. But “caught up” does the trick. Perhaps you remember that Jesus used harpadzo in telling how firmly we are in his grasp, as well as the Father’s, once we have become his property (Jn. 10:28,29); to seize or pluck someone out of an existing constraining force or condition.

The snatching away ... coming soon to a planet near home. Woe to those who are not snatched away. They may still end up in Heaven (Revelation says so) but they will likely lose their head getting there when they call upon The Lord during antiChrist’s reign.
