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.

Answer

Rapture 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.
