Rapture?

Many think we will be "raptured out" before any trouble, i.e. before the man of lawlessness, or "beast", as he's called in the book of Revelation, appears. Many say, because of I Thessalonians 5:9, that we will not be around to see the judgments of God on the earth. Shouldn't we be prepared in case that's wrong?
