"sit at my right hand while I make all your enemies your footstool" is God's favorite Bible verse. There's more times in the Bible than any other verse.
He is of course speaking to Jesus.
God has a history of letting things get really bad and in an impossible situation and then turning it around where he gets all the glory.
There is no rapture. The only people that are swept away are the wicked just like in the days of noah..
Not sure I agree about the harpazo, thing though. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 clearly someone is caught up, raptured, taken by force, plucked away, or something of that nature.

You're trying to smuggle your presuppositions into that verse and the context.
If you didn't already have a tradition of thinking you were going to be raptured you would have never come to that conclusion from reading that verse alone especially with the totality of scripture...
The eschatology of rapture which is called "premillennial dispensationalism" wasn't even remotely a common Christian position until the publication of the first Scofield reference Bible which was the first Bible that had notes explaining eschatology.
When the wheat and the chaff is separated by fire what is that process look like? The chaff Burns while the wheat remains.
Only the wicked will be swept away.
I am not well enough versed in eschatology to defend what I have been taught, maybe I need to do some homework. Out of curiosity where does that put your eschatological beliefs? Amillennialism?
Post millennialism.
It's what the church traditionally believed.
Essentially the destruction language in Revelation was about the localized judgment and destruction of Jerusalem that happened in 70 AD
"This generation shall not pass till all these things happen"
And it did.
