You will not find the word rapture in the bible. What you will find is the phrase "caught up." Rapture is an English transliteration that comes from the Latin word RAPTUS. The Greek word is HARPADZO. So whether a person uses the word Harpadzo, Raptus, Rapture, or caught up, it all means the same thing. It means to be caught up or snatched away by force (Raptured). In 1 Thessalonians 4:17 where you see the words "caught up," that would be your word rapture, which describes an event that will take place when Christ comes for His church. So when someone speaks about a rapture, they are talking about being snatched away or "caught up" to meet the Lord in the air when He comes for His church.
Mostly in Revelation. If you are trying to look it up in the Word and find the parts where it does say about the rapture, look everywhere, study every chapter. Other chapters it says is mostly Matthew, and mentions it in Psalms and many other chapters. Hope this helps.
Hi Cheryl, when I search the word rapture, it doesn't show results in the text, but when you click the "related bible topics' link on the right that says "rapture" it gives you a page of scriptures about it: Link
It doesn't use the word rapture, but "caught up" and other terms. So, I think as a convenience someone came up with that word to describe these events as described in the Bible. God bless.
Type in:
"Caught Up"
"In The Clouds"
It makes for some exciting reading
