I can't agree with your "rapture" premise, but I do know that life is precious and Jesus could come for us at ANY moment -- including when my wife says to "knock it off". So whatever I'm doing, -- I stop.
But as far as the FALSE teaching of a Tribulation era "rapture", -- the "dead" do not rise until the thousand years are ended, when the New Jerusalem appears and those who are alive and remain shall be caught up to be with the LORD forever in the air.
However, those who ignore the preparation warnings given in Lke 22:35-36, and Rev. 13:17, (among other places), may most likely participate in the GREAT Falling Away, -- which WILL be fulfilled. And that failure will result NOT in ascent, but descent.
