You don't seem to understand, that no one who HAS the Spirit of Christ, in that Day, will be left behind.The text proves it so there is no arguing against it. You can't and haven't even addressed teh rule being in the future tense. It happens AFTER Armageddon. No Amill will even touch this fact. All false doctrines contradict the text of scripture. They can only exist in the imaginations of the believers.
Not all take the mark. The living survivors of the GT didn't and if those rebel Christians didn't and lived, so could many deceived non-Christians or former Christians.
Regarding the Earth and the Millenial kingdom: That is not a rule. You have made that up.
All does not mean every person else no one would be raptured. The 144k don't take it nor do the two witnesses. It means ALL in the sense of the most important people down to lowest people...ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE, ALL TYPES etc. The same language speaks of the types of people in the army of the beast in Rev 19.
All that will be left behind, will have taken the MoB, including Israel, and therefore shall literally fulfill Rom. 8:9.
KJV 2 Thes. 1:7-10 is a simultaneous event of destruction to the unsaved and redemption to the saved.
[10] WHEN he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
Now, please compare verse 10 to verses 7-9:
[7] And to you who are troubled rest with us, WHEN the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
[8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
[9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Q. When IS "WHEN"?
A. WHEN the Lord Jesus is revealed from Heaven, in all His visible and Immortal Glory.
