What if the alleged rapture doesn't happen for another 500 years after you die?
So what if it is another 500 years or a million year from now?
Either way, I'll be in the presence of my Lord.
How could you have a spiritual body before the alleged rapture?
My house will be destroyed, but I will go somewhere, and so will you.

Acts 7:55-56 — But Stephan, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. "Look," he said, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."

1 Cor. 2:9-10 — But as it is written: "Eye has not see, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God as prepared for those who love Him." But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. (NKJ)
Heaven is real. Hell is real. Eternity is immediate. There is no waiting time or second chance.
