1 Pet. 1:5 “Who are shielded by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”
Life will be business as usual for the world at the time of the rapture. Because of this, Peter could write in 1 Peter 1:5 that we are ‘shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.’ From the time that Jesus ascended to heaven, it could always be said that our full salvation ‘is ready to be revealed’. It is ready. There is nothing else that has to be accomplished.
On a scarier note, for those who don’t know the Lord, Peter also wrote in 1 Pet 4:5 ‘But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.’ Not only is our full salvation ready to be revealed (our new bodies at the return of Jesus) but it can also be said that God IS READY to judge the living and the dead. He is ready. Only his patience and mercy prevent this judgment. So if God is ready, then the only question left is ‘Are you ready’?
