The believers in Thessalonica were under so much persecution they thought they were in end-times.  In Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians he encourages them to pursue their relationship with Christ even in the midst of great suffering and clarifies the rapture.  Today, Bible teacher Jeff Verdoorn (https://myfaithradio.com/authors/jeff-verdoorn/) goes through each chapter of 1 Thessalonians (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%201&version=NIV) as they refer to the rapture of the church.
