Original answer: "No, the word Rapture is not in the Bible, but it is the word we use for catching away which is found in the bible. It is our descriptive and is valid to use."
The word "rapture" is not found anywhere in the EnglishBible, but it is found in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of The Bible, where it is translated from the Greek Word that means "caught up, swept away". That's where the term is found.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 contains the Greek word ἁρπαγησόμεθα (harpagēsometha) that means ' take away'. The Latin translation of this verse used the word rapturo, hence the English word rapture. However, there is no literal reference to the 'Rapture' that was first defined by John Nelson Darby, a nineteenth-century British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren.

None. The word Rapture is not in the Bible. On the other hand, the Bible does say that Christ will return "like a thief in the night."

Many Biblical scholars see this as a parable describing the Rapture. The answer is the same, though: there are no events that "signal" the Rapture even in this context.
