1 Thessalonians 4:15 -17 And then this: We can tell you with complete confidence—we have the Master's word on it—that when the Master comes again to get us, those of us who are still alive will not get a jump on the dead and leave them behind. In actual fact, they'll be ahead of us. The Master himself will give the command. Archangel thunder! God's trumpet blast! He'll come down from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise—they'll go first. Then the rest of us who are still alive at the time will be caught up with them into the clouds to meet the Master. The Message Bible
The Greek word for "caught up" is harpazo - to seize, to snatch, like a raptor or bird of prey does.
Latin translators used the word rapturo.
