I've never got the idea behind the Rapture.
Jesus dies. Then comes back for forty days to perform a few minor miracles, and then returns to heaven. He doesn't stick around longer to guide the human race. He doesn't give humanity directions that will advance them beyond their wildest dreams. No, he returns to heaven and stays there. His next planned trip back to the world is to wipe everybody out.
