Does the word “rapture” appear in the Bible?

No, but just because the word “rapture” cannot be found in the Bible does not mean Christians made it up. Rapture means to carry off or snatch away. Multiple verses refer to how “we will not all sleep.” Sleep in the Bible is another word for death. In other words, we will not all die! Christians will be taken or snatched away just prior to the tribulation period to meet Jesus in the air. Nobody but God knows when the rapture will take place, but Christians will, at some future time, disappear and meet Jesus in the air. So even though the word “rapture” does not appear in the Bible, it does confirm the rapture will take place.
