The word rapture itself is nowhere to be found in the Bible, but the promise behind it is.

Actually it is in there, in the Latin versions.

No, but the word “rapturo” is. Also, other words that mean the same as “rapture.”

Lay these two verses beside 1st Thessalonians 4:16-17, and you have an exact comparison: “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”

The word rapture itself is nowhere to be found in the Bible, but the promise behind it is.

Indeed. I fail to see how much clearer Paul and the Holy Spirit could have made it than how the event is described in Scripture.
