SGT James Murphy, I haven't completely listened to the message you posted, but I will later. I think I already know where this is leading to and therefore would like to post a quick response.
The Bible was first written in Latin and the Latin word used for rapture is ‘rapturo’. The Bible was then translated to Greek and the word used is ‘harpazo’ meaning ‘to seize upon by force’ or ‘to snatch up’. Finally, the Bible was translated into English and the word used for rapture is ‘caught up’.
See Bible translation
Therefore the word rapture comes from the word ‘rapturo’, ‘harpazo’ meaning to seize upon by force, to snatch upon by force or caught up.
‘Rapturo’, ‘harpazo’, ‘caught up’, or ‘snatch up’ is in the Bible (See the word used in the Bible version you’re using).
1Thess 4:16-17: For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Nowhere in the 66 books of the Bible does it state that there will be a "rapture" and people will be taken out of this world to be saved from the tribulation. I hope and pray this is not the view of this pastor, but if so he is teaching a lie.
