“The Rapture” is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

It is a creation of man.

It is in it's latin form in the Latin Vulgate, (Harpazo in the Greek.) The words mean to snatch up violently. Rapture is the tranliterated english form, which does not exist in english translations of the Bible, as it has no real meaning other than in reference to the Latin translation of scripture.
