John 14:2 & 3   In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to     prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where  I am, [there] ye may be also. 

1Corinthians 15:51 & 52  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 & 17  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.
The Rapture is when Jesus comes back to take his church with him to Heaven. It will happen suddenly without any warning.

We call it the Rapture because rapio means "a snatching away," in the Latin. The Rapture is described in 1 Corinthians 15:51: I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep [be dead], but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. And so this twinkling of an eye is a "snatching away," and occurs as we zip through the heavenlies to meet Jesus
Christ in clouds of glory.
