Paul speaks of the rapture when he says:

" For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall
be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so
shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these
words." 1Thessalonians 4:16-17
