What does dead in Christ mean?
I Thessalonians 4:16,17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." At an event in the future called "Our Gathering Together unto him," believers who have accepted Christ will meet Jesus Christ in the air. Those who have died (the "dead in Christ") will be raised first, and an instant later the alive believers will join them.

The Apostle Paul gives the best answer to your question that you could hope for:1 Corinthians 15:12-22 - Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up - if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.[NKJV]

The bible says that there will be a rapture it says every body that is wright will gety raptured up.?
Here is a passage of Scripture in 1 Thessalonians 4 that refers to the event you are talking about. 16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17. Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. It is good to note that this rising from the dead and catching up to the clouds, is for the believers in Christ. For non-believers, there is a judgement.
