First, we may die before this happens, you are correct. However the Rapture was taught by Paul and Jesus, not white Christian Americans.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

Second, it is clear that the Dead in Christ rise first! (1 Thess 4:16)

Third, we will know who the Antichrist is (2 Thess 2:3-4), but some of us will escape.

Jesus did not teach the rapture in any way

Luke 21 is talking about the 2nd coming, not a 2 stage second coming.

1 Thess 4:16 — “with a shout” and “a trumpet” — that’s not a silent rapture. in fact 1 Thess disproves your pre-trib rapture
