Rapture?

 (developing)

1) as in days of Noah, going about their business, one taken and one left behind. Taken=swept away or taken=onto the ark

2) kept from the hour of temptation. Does this mean from having to choose to take the mark of the beast? In that case, the one taken (in 1) would mean taken to forced choosing.

3)delivers us from the wrath to come, which would be upon those taking the mark of the beast and delivering us (from evil for example) means releasing, rescuing. Deliverance has been through means to escape, miraculous intimidation (such as Israelis being delivered from Egypt), murder, military conquest, etc.

It's during the thousand year reign that 144,000 will rule in heaven then release of Satan then the final judgement,  then the meek inherit the Earth and new Jerusalem comes down from heaven. They must wait until their brothers are martyred and resurrected, so still no rapture implied there. Then there are those who keep his word and never see death at all. This is where I go.......never mind. lol The big picture will come later with clarity.
