The dead rise first at the rapture because they have been waiting longer than those who are raptured while still alive:-

1Th 4:14-18 MKJV For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will also bring with Him all those who have fallen asleep [ie died] through Jesus. (v.15) For we say this to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall not go before those who are asleep.[ie have died] (v.16) For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first. (v.17) Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall ever be with the Lord. (v.18) Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Which book in the Bible mentions the Rapture?

I do not believe the "Rapture" is mentioned anywhere in the King James version. I am quite certain this is a term that originated in some form of "cultist" group as an interpretation of some verse in The Revelation of Saint John the Divine.AnswerRapture is a phrase used be premillennialists to describe the event of the members of Christ's body, the church, "caught up" in the air to meet Christ. They base this upon 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 which says, "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. Not all eschatologies include the Rapture as a distinct event.
