Friday Q&A: The Rapture

Why do we use the word "Rapture"?

Every Friday, I answer a common question related to the end times. Today’s is about where we get the English word “Rapture.”

Question:

I have been told that the term “Rapture” is not in the Bible and is a man-made term. Can you explain how that term came to be used instead of saying the “Second Coming”?
