It's not so much the idea of a rapture that PTBA is objecting to, but the idea of a secret rapture; i.e. the concept of the world continuing on after Jesus' return. It seems obvious that the three passages you reference are talking about the end of history, with nothing lying beyond except eternity.

No, the Rapture is of the Church (true believers in Christ) and then the 7 years of Tribulation, and then the 1,000 year reign of Christ, one final revolt by man and then the Great White Throne Judgement, and THEN comes eternity.
