You ever wake up some mornings and think, "Am I one of the 'left behind'? Could I have missed the rapture?"

Isn’t the rapture some made up thing that has no biblical origin
The term "rapture" is not specifically mentioned in the Bible, but it comes from a Latin word that means "a carrying off, a transport, or a snatching away." The Bible clearly teaches about the concept of the "carrying off" or the rapture of the church.
During the rapture, God will "snatch away" all believers from the earth, in order to prepare for His righteous judgment which will be poured out on the earth during the tribulation period. This event is primarily described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50–54. God will resurrect all believers who have died, give them glorified bodies, and take them from the earth, along with all living believers who will also receive glorified bodies.
The Bible says, "For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever" (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17).
If your Bible was written in Latin it would have the term rapturo in it, so i would argue that the term rapture is specifically in the bible.
Rapture = rapturo = harpazo = catching up or snatching away
Rapture is just a transliteration of the latin term.
Just because a word isn't English doesn't mean its not in the bible.
What you mention is the earth being ripe for harvest in the book of revelation
Are you referring to Rev. 14:15? That passage has little in common with 1 Thess. 4:16-17; they describe two separate events.
The church gets raptured out between Rev. 3 and 4 and doesn’t appear again until Christ come to earth in chapter 19 to set up His kingdom.
800 centuries ago, their bodily fluids include the birth of half-breeds. For the fundamental truth self-determination of the cosmos, for dark is the suede that mows like a harvest.
