Rapture vs. second coming

“Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, do not be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, as to the effect that the DAY OF THE LORD has come. For that day will not come until the apostasy comes first and the man of sin is revealed.” (2 Thes. 2:1-3)

If the rapture begins the day of the Lord, how can there be seven years between it and the second coming if the DOL follows the cosmic vents of Joel 2:31 and the tribulation (Joel 2:31, Mt. 24:29)?
