The word “rapture” is not in the Bible. But the church (new-testament believers) is not mentioned after Chapter 4 or 5 (i’d have to look again for the precise chapter #). Most Bible scholars are in agreement that the rapture happens before the 7 year tribulation period. I do believe that we will see upheaval, but not the plagues in the 7 years.

The last reference to the church is rev 3:14.

That's funny. No Bible scholar prior to 1830 believed this nonsense, and the same is true for most Bible scholars today, except for the ones is a handful of fundamentalist "Bible colleges".
