Here it is as simply as I can make it.

Your post includes 2Thessalonians 2:3, which clearly calls for the departure from Torah, and the revealing of the “Man of Sin” before the resurrection. Paul also says that the mystery of iniquity (departure from Torah) was already at work.

Where does that leave room for a secret rapture?

It is not promised, and is specifically denounced by Yeshua himself. He asks the Father to protect, but not to take out his elect.

John 17:15

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

Revelation 3 promises those that have “watched” (diligently kept his appointed times) will be protected in a place prepared for them, not taken out.

The appointed times are the "oil" for the lamps of which you often speak.

One cannot be ready unless one is aware of YHVH's calendar, which sets out when all of his events take place.

Those that observe his calendar will know that when they see the abomination, their redemption will be in 42 months, at Yom Teruah. Yeshua told us so in the passage where the non-watchers think he said it would be unknown, but when we see the new moon we will know what is happening. Satan's presence before the throne of God is what is presently holding back the final week.

When he is cast out to the Earth, it will all happen quickly.

God's wrath cannot be poured out until the tribulation is ended by the resurrection of the saints. Then the bowls of wrath are poured out, after that we return with Yeshua as conquering King, no longer a savior. We will be on the Earth in our new bodies, but no longer of the Earth.
