The word Rapture does not appear in the Bible. The term "rapture" started being used around 1730 to lay a name to some previously (widely) hyped puritanical rhetoric on the New Testament.
Also, the Bible states that nobody (but the Father) knows when Christ will return...

Mark 13:
Quote:
[31] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
[32] But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
[33] Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
