Original answer: "No, the word Rapture is not in the Bible, but it is the word we use for catching away which is found in the bible. It is our descriptive and is valid to use."
The word "rapture" is not found anywhere in the EnglishBible, but it is found in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of The Bible, where it is translated from the Greek Word that means "caught up, swept away". That's where the term is found.
The word - rapture - does not appear in the King James version.
According to biblegateway.com, no, it is not.
A:No. The word 'rapture' is not in the Bible, nor is the modern concept of a "Rapture" of Christians mentioned or discussed. Rapture is a theological creation of John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Interestingly, although few people belong the the Plymouth Brethren Church, many Christians believe in its founder's most enduring theological creation, the Rapture.
I don't ever remember reading the word religion in the Bible, though the word Bible is never in the Bible either, nor is the word rapture, for some reason.
There are six occurrences of the word rapture in the Bible; Psalms 28:7, Psalms 45:15, Psalms 51:8, Proverbs 5:19, Song of Songs 2:3 and Luke 1:67. Each of these is making reference to "rapture" in the context of joy and delight. The original root word for rapture meant to be carried away. Theologians have used rapture to describe the taking up of the faithful in Revelation though the word itself does not appear there.

Another answer from our community:I search the KJV Bible for the word "Rapture" and it's nowhere to be found. So there's no explanation of the word "Rapture", except maybe it's an invention of some delusional mind.

The King James Version of the Bible does not specifically mention the concept of rapture. The idea of the rapture comes from interpretations of other passages in the Bible, particularly in the New Testament.

The word rapture is not used in the bible but in revelations it mentions for all Christians to be "took up" which is is close to its real meaning "to be took up"............................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.........(and only god knows when it will happen)
None. The word Rapture is not in the Bible. On the other hand, the Bible does say that Christ will return "like a thief in the night." The parable of the 10 virgins (or unmarried women) tells of the groom coming in secret at night, at any time, to take his betrothed away. Many Biblical scholars see this as a parable describing the Rapture. The answer is the same, though: there are no events that "signal" the Rapture even in this context.
Pentecostals generally believe the rapture will take place soon, the dead in Christ shall rise to heaven first, then to follow those that are alive, and all raptured will be with Jesus forever.
The King James Version of the Bible does not explicitly mention the pre-tribulation rapture. The concept of the pre-tribulation rapture is derived from interpretations of various passages in the Bible, but it is not specifically mentioned in the King James Version.
