The Rapture As Used In The Bible

"The word "Rapture" is found in the Bible in light of what the scoffers of today would rather say. The word "rapture" comes from Paul's "caught up" remark mentioned in 1 Thess. 1:17. The words "caught up" are translated from the inspired Greek word "harpazo", which means "to carry off," "snatch up," or "grasp hastily." The translation from harpazo to "rapture" involved two steps: first, harpazo became the Latin word raptus; second, raptus became the English word "rapture."
