Hi Kusa, us Rapture-,centric nuts consider it to be an elopement.
In the Jewish tradition the groom comes in the middle of the night with a group of his friends, to call his betrothed (already committed to/ engaged) fiance' to come to him from her house.
The groom, formerly had to build her a house/ dwelling and could only go to get her after his construction was approved by his father.
Thus, when Jesus was asked about WHEN He would come back, He said, "Only the Father knows". So there is a controversy about when.
I go with, "Because you kept the word of My patience- I will keep you FROM the hour of testing that will come upon the whole earth."
Children are innocent by means of immaturity, so they also will be kept from the nasty time ahead.
