If you haven't listened to Tucker's interview with John Rich, you would enjoy it. He makes exactly the same points you're making. I agree, btw. Even as a kid, the rapture stuff made no sense to me because I had read the New Testament and was like 'where are they getting this'? Now I'm reading the Old Testament in the Geneva Bible -- the Bible of the Pilgrims. Finished Daniel and am reading Isaiah now. The notes are helpful for the historical context at the time, but I've not seen any sign of "the rapture" as we hear about it now being discussed.
I've made a playlist on YouTube on the subject of the end times where I've collected some of the best most helpful videos of explanations, discussions, debates and sermons from very well-known and respected pastors, biblical scholars, and theologians.
Feel free to pick through it and see if there's anything that catches your eye. The round table discussion that's the second video in the playlist is absolutely worth your time
