No, the rapture is not taught in the Bible. This relatively recent doctrine was popularized by the Scofield Reference Bible. The Bible does not teach that Christians will be raptured to heaven, but that there will be a place of protection on earth for some of God’s people. Christ will not return secretly, but visibly. When Christ returns, all saints—living and dead—will be resurrected to meet Him in the air and then descend to earth with Him.
