Rapture is a belief that God will come and take away Christians before things get too bad. While, I do believe in a Rapture, things will get a lot worse before God comes. OK some skeptics ask - where is the rapture found in the bible.
The truth is that the old testament was written in Hebrew, and the new testament in Greek. The word rapture comes from the Latin word raptare which means kidnapping. There is a word in the Greek new testament Haparzo that is similar. It is often translated as - catching away.
As for when the Rapture occurs. The Bible says.
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.
