The term 'rapture' is not to be found anywhere in Scripture. The 'secret rapture' is a term that was invented by men and applied by them to explain the 'first phase' of the Second Coming of Christ. The Bible never indicates in any Scripture that Christ's coming will happen in phases.
In the 19th Century, John Nelson Darby, a British preacher, developed this rapture teaching and began to promote it via his Plyouth Brethren Church in the 1830s. He also developed a scheme of scriptural interpretations he dubbed, 'dispensationalism' - the idea that God has different rules for different groups at different times. Examples of this are the law for the Jews and Christians now having grace for the Church.
Later, Darby's teachings were refined and popularized by C.I. Scofield, an American lawyer and minister who authored the Scofield Reference Bible in the early 1900s. Today, via his efforts, many Protestant evangelicals began to accept both teachings of a secret rapture and dispensationalism. These ideas of men go hand-in-hand to blind many sincere people to God's real message to Christians in the end time.
