Regarding the rapture - there is no biblical evidence for a pre-tribulation rapture. None at all
The event of our gathering together to be with Christ will take place but that is at the second coming and we are NOT going to be magicked out of the world before the big trouble with the anti-Christ.
You need to distinguish between the Particular Judgement (the judgement each of us goes through when we die) and the General (or Last) Judgement, and generally focus a lot more on the Particular Judgement. While none of us know when the Last Judgement will be, it seems safe to assume that most of us won’t be around for it, so as a practical matter focusing on the Particular Judgement makes more sense. How exactly that Judgement will look is generally not a focus, but the focus is instead on preparing for it

....
Cronos, there’s an example in the bible that’s quite compelling as evidence for a rapture of some sort..
The Mount on Transfiguration
A small remnant of His 12, went up the Mount and saw Him transfigured, while 9 of His 12 were on the ground fighting and losing,to a demon within a child.
Those 3 that went up the Mount did not taste death before they got to witness Him as He looks like in His Kingdom. Even got to hang out with Moses and Elijah on that Mount..
And note, Mathew and Mark’s versions mention that after He stated that some of them standing there would not taste before they saw Him come in His Kingdom, 6 days passed.
In Luke’s version, it is recorded that is was after about 8 days passed.
There’s a 2 day delay in Luke’s.
They didn’t repeat the event 2 days later about 2,000 years or 2 days ago..
