Evidence of a rapture is like the wind in the bible it is there but never see the word rapture. much like second thessalonians’s those gentiles left behind will fall under the great delusion, the tribulation is for the house of jacob, israel to be saved. All gentiles left behind will be handed over ro the anti christ.

Rapture actually IS found in the Bible. It comes from the Latin meaning "caught up". Scripture talks about believers being "caught up" to be with the Lord:

    After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. (I Thess. 4:17).

The Greek word is harpazó: to seize, catch up, snatch away. The term "rapture" is derived from the text of the Latin Vulgate of 1 Thess. 4:17—"we will be caught up", (Latin: rapiemur).
