According to schedule within ancient Judaic prophecies, at the time of the “Rapture” the individuals “taken” are not the “good”.

For the righteous there is a promise of a holy war to commence after 1000 years of blissful life with Jesus on Earth.    The “Rapture” is the First Death (en masse) of the less than acceptable humans, and the arrival of Jesus/YHWH on Earth.

Matthew 24:39-42 (Darby) 39 and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man. 40 Then two shall be in the field, one is taken and one is left; 41 two [women] grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left. 42 Watch therefore, for ye know not in what hour your Lord comes. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be dug through [into]. 44 Wherefore ye also, be ye ready, for in that hour that ye think not the Son of man comes. 45 Who then is the faithful and prudent bondman whom his lord has set over his household, to give them food in season? 46 Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus. 47 Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all his substance. 48 But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come, 49 and begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and eat and drink with the drunken; 50 the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, 51 and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

A “Lord” is an individual who has possession of land, and some control over the people within it.

Revelation 20 (Darby) 1 And I saw an angel descending from the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent who is [the] devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he should not any more deceive the nations until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be loosed for a little time. 4 And I saw thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God; and those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years: 5 the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years had been completed. This [is] the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7 And when the thousand years have been completed, Satan shall be loosed from his prison, 8 and shall go out to deceive the nations which [are] in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number [is] as the sand of the sea. It may be fair to interpret the “four corners of the Earth” as unknown and unknowable regions.  These are where the dead are kept in Sheol until Judgement Day.

Paul seems to understand most of the order of operations of the Rapture, but fails shamefully:

1 Thessalonians 4 (Darby) 14 For if we believe that Jesus has died and has risen again, so also God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus. 15 (For this we say to you in [the] word of [the] Lord, that we, the living, who remain to the coming of the Lord, are in no way to anticipate those who have fallen asleep; 16 for the Lord himself, with an assembling shout, with archangel’s voice and with trump of God, shall descend from heaven; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; 17 then we, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them in [the] clouds, to meet the Lord in [the] air; and thus we shall be always with [the] Lord.

I am certainly not slow to correct the ignorance of the Impostle Saul.  He is the only author I am aware of that feels a need to add flying people to the event, and is in obnoxious ambiguity of what qualifies an individual as righteous or unrighteous with respect to the Rapture:  “…we, the living, who remain to the coming of the Lord, are in no way to anticipate those who have fallen asleep…”.  This is the defining difference between the righteous and the unrighteous tillers, grinders, and bondmen - that they cared for themselves and others.

The state of the Earth following the Rapture would not be the discarded clothing of good “Christians”.

If a “Rapture” occurred, it would be self-evident that you:

1  …are somehow evidently dead…

…or…

2  …are alive, nearly everyone else is missing (and dead, but elsewhere), Jesus is on Earth and getting loud, and things are going to be cool for about 1000 years while the less righteous - or perhaps zealous - await Judgement Day in Sheol (the experience of which ranges from sleep, through honoured pleasure, to righteous improvement).
