This come from the 1stBook of Adam and Eve before Jesus. I think around 300BC.

14:2 But God the Lord said to Adam, "Indeed I say to you, this darkness will pass from you, every day I have determined for you, until the fulfillment of My covenant; when I will save you and bring you back again into the garden, into the house of light you long for , in which there is no darkness*.
I will bring you to it -- in the kingdom of heaven."
To me you could interpret that as literal reference to rapture!
and another similar reference

10:7-9 When Adam and Eve heard these words from God, they cried a bitter cry; and Adam entreated God to let him return into the garden, and look at it a second time. 8 But God said to Adam, "I have made you a promise; when that promise is fulfilled, I will bring you back into the garden, you and your righteous descendants." 9 And God ceased to commune with Adam.

Hi Brig
Here are some that I found that supports translation Rapture. I found them
then.

Quote:
John 14:2) 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.
quote:
(John 14:3) 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.

Quote:
(Rev 22:12) And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
(Rev 22:13) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
(Rev 22:14) Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
and here some more references from a
recent post
The following seems to have this hint of rapture or translation about it.
This come from the 1stBook of Adam and Eve before Jesus. I think around 300BC.

I they the above verses all supports
translation/rapture for the elect.
