Such a thing only exists in the beliefs of a small minority of Christians world wide... and is totally based on ones eschatology.
Personally, I believe everything in the Bible was fulfilled in AD70... the second coming already happened.

The catching up (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 KJV) is pre-wrath (Romans 5:9 KJV, 1 Thessalonians 5:9 KJV)!
Post tribulation, pre wrath.

"1 Thess 4:17 caught up. After the dead come forth, their spirits, already with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:8; Phil. 1:23), now being joined to resurrected new bodies (see notes on 1 Cor. 15:35–50), the living Christians will be raptured, lit. snatched away (cf. John 10:28; Acts 8:39). This passage, along with John 14:1–3 and 1 Cor. 15:51, 52, form the biblical basis for “the Rapture” of the church. The time of the Rapture cannot be conclusively determined from this passage alone. However, when other texts such as Rev. 3:10 and John 14:3 are consulted and compared to the texts about Christ’s coming in judgment (Matt. 13:34–50; 24:29–44; Rev. 19:11–21) at the end of a 7 year tribulation, it has to be noted that there is a clear difference between the character of the “Rapture” in that there is no mention of any judgment, while the other texts feature judgment. So then, it is best to understand that the Rapture occurs at a time different from the coming of Christ in judgment. Thus, the Rapture has been described as pretribulational (before the wrath of God unfolded in the judgments of Rev. 6–19). This event includes complete transformation (cf. 1 Cor. 15:51, 52; Phil 3:20, 21) and union with the Lord Jesus Christ that never ends." MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997).

The only “rapture” I find in HIS WORD
REV 11:3 And I will give power unto MY Two WITNESSES,
and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth (mourning the ONE we pierced).
REV 11:4 These are the Two OLIVE TREES (Romans 11),
and the two candlesticks
standing before the God of the earth.
REV 11:5 And if any man will hurt them,
fire proceedeth out of their mouth,
and devoureth their enemies:
and if any man will hurt them,
he must in this manner be killed.
(JER 23:29
Is not MY WORD like as a fire? saith the LORD;
and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?)
REV 11:6 These have power to shut heaven,
that it rain not in the days of their prophecy:
and have power over waters to turn them to blood,
and to smite the earth with all plagues,
as often as they will.
REV 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony,
the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit
shall make war against them,
and shall overcome them, and kill them.
REV 11:8 And their dead bodies
shall lie in the street of the great city,
which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,
where also our Lord was crucified.
REV 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds
and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies
three days and an half,
and shall not suffer their dead bodies
to be put in graves.
REV 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them,
and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another;
because these two prophets tormented them
that dwelt on the earth.
REV 11:11
And after three days and an half
the spirit of life from God entered into them,
"...the dead in MESSIAH rise first..."
and they stood upon their feet;
and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
REV 11:12
And they heard
a great voice from heaven saying unto them,
“Come up hither”.
And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud;
“…in a twinkling of an eye…”
Body of Messiah ministry. ( Is us ).

I am on the fence about the 1000 year reign and the tribulation occurrence. When Holy Spirit wants me to know, I will.
The articles were a decent insight. Thanks.
What I believe has not occurred is the "Mark" . Our S. Security numbers are very concerning.
And the final kingdom - Government, ( Beast) who implements the Mark. Islam? The U.N.?

Depends on in what language one is reading the Bible.
Try Latin.
Nevertheless 'caught up to meet the Lord in the air' means 'caught up to meet the Lord in the air', whatever language it is.
St Jerome first used the term rapture.
