Thinking about it, the whole Rapture-concept is basically a symbolist way of saying a “Black Swan Event”: an unexpected event that comes out of nowhere and separates the men from the boys, so to speak - and there was no preparing for it, no predicting it, but after it happened and before anybody knew it, it had changed everything. Maybe 9/11 is the Rapture myth somehow psychically inverted, sent through a black hole or a super collider of some kind.
