no, the silence of the dispensationalists to two simple questions is designed to expose the unbiblical teachings they put forth. so far, it’s working.
what you call “the rapture” is the second coming of Jesus Christ at the end of the world, so yes it is mentioned in the NT.
turning in, I will be anxious to see tomorrow if I have any takers on #77.

Negatory!
The rapture is the first resurrection, which takes place, as Yeshua told us in Matthew 24, at the end of the 3.5 year tribulation, at the last trump, ten days before the beginning of the millennial reign of King Yeshua, and his elect (the church in a loose way).

You're wrong about what the rapture is.
It's not the second coming of Christ to the earth.
It proceeds it, Jesus coming to remove His bride b3efore the Tribulation.
When He actually comes back and touches down, that is the second coming and the beginning of the millennial reign.
Good I agree there is a rapture. And the scriptures provided show this to happen sometime before the second coming.
