Where does the Bible speak on Christ calling the saints home before the rapture?

I hate to rain on your parade, but there is not such thing as the rapture. It is unbiblical, and is as recent as the 19th century. Perpetuated by the Roman Catholic Church, there is no biblical basis for this fallacy. Please, read your King James Version Bible, it is the purest translation and the closest we will get to the original Greek and Hebrew text.

What is the millenial state for Christians?
It is the 1000 year reign of Christ. Following the rapture of the church there is a period of 7 years of tribulation on the earth where a good majority of people die. Right before all chaos happens, Jesus returns to earth with the saints, destroys the anti-christ, bounds satan, and establishes his kingdom on earth.
Will there be a rupture?
Yes, I believe there will be a rapture absolutely. The Bible speaks of "the second coming" of Christ and the calling out of the saints repeatedly, which gives proof to the reality of this event. The rapture will be a glorious event, though it will happen in the time it takes for an eye to twinkle. When the angel blows the trumpet and calls the saved ones home, immediately all saved people will join The Father in Heaven. No one knows exactly when the rapture will occur, but the Bible gives us clues as to when the end times will be. Many of these signs can be found in the Books of Daniel and the Revelation.

What are signs of rapture?
Basically there are no signs for the rapture. The nearest signs you can look for are the signs of the coming tribulation. Israel is the nation to watch because the tribulation is an Israeli event. It is the "Time of Jacob's Trouble". If you are "pre-trib" you will believe that the rapture will occur before the time of the tribulation. So world events, especially Israel will give you some signs that perhaps the rapture is near. BUT this is not always true. Men have been looking for the rapture for many years (including the apostle Paul) and it is still future. We are to look for that blessed hope in our every day lives. (The coming of Jesus Christ for His children or the resurrection of the saints). There are many prophecies relating to the tribulation, but many will not appear before hand. The rapture is a very touchy subject and you will see many, many different opinions on the subject.
What was the prior name of the Mormons?

What is the lds interpretation to the rapture?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) does not mention the rapture because it is not a Biblical concept. There are no Bible verses to support the rapture. In fact, the concept of the rapture was first intruduced by the Puritan preacher Cotton Mather in the early 1700's. This is why Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, and other traditionally "European" Christian groups have no doctrine of the rapture either. A popular phrase in the Church is "Endure to the End", which references to Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, and Mark 13:13. It reminds members to continue in faith, looking forward to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

We know a prophet historian was named Mormon and that's why Joseph Smith called his book the Book of Mormon so when did the church begin calling itself Latter Day Saints?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was officially organized on April 6, 1830, by Joseph Smith and a small group of followers. They initially referred to themselves as "The Church of Christ," but the name was changed to "The Church of the Latter Day Saints" a few years later, in 1834. The addition of "Latter-day" emphasizes the belief that the church is a restoration of Christ's original church in the latter days.
