Of course if you want to be technical....the righteous were protected in the ark while the wicked were destroyed hence removed by the flood, then Noah and his family set upon the Earth afterward to replenish the earth with the animals he saved.
The analogy still holds with the Rapture....Christians will be removed and be united with Christ and the dead in Christ will arise while the Earth undergoes a frightful tribulation in which those who followed after the beast and took his mark undergo judgment and along with the Beast, are finally removed and cast into the lake of fire)
The only thing that is the real mystery will be the timing of this rapture. The Latin Bible uses Rapturo for the term after all for the term meaning to be “snatched away or carried off” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17(translated from the greek Harpazo). The English versions of course don’t use “rapture” but rather the term “caught up”. Raptors are large birds who “carry off” their prey. A person said to be taken or entranced by something is said to be “enraptured” by that object.
The term “rapture” came to be used as a short hand(probably taken from the Latin Bible) of saying “to be snatched or caught up”...hence “Hey Brother, are you ready for the Rapture”” as opposed to asking...”Hey brother, are you ready for the great snatching away?” It’s just easier to say the rapture or we will be “raptured”.
Paul said that “we would not all sleep but we would all be changed, in a moment in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.” So at least one must believe in the rapture’s eventual occurrence, even if one believes it to be “at the last trumpet”, whenever that will be. The Bible says it will happen...the only argument is the timing of its occurrence.
