the term "rapture" is usually applied specifically to the belief that Christians will be taken into heaven prior to the Second coming of Christ, and there will be a period of time where non-Christians will still be left on earth before Christ arrives to set up his earthly kingdom.
Why would we let Jesus set up this kingdom if the world was left to us by default when the righteous departed?
"Too bad for you I'm not meek, like the people you said would inherit the earth, huh? Possession is 9/10ths of the law. GET OUTTA MY YARD!"
