Rapture

Jesus’ words about rapture:

Matt 24:37 For just as the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
24:38 1For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day in which Noah entered into the ark,
24:39 And they did not know that judgment was coming until the flood came and took all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
24:40 At that time two men will be in the field; one is taken and one is left.
24:41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one is taken and one is left.
24:42 Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord comes.
24:43 But know this, that if the 1householder had known in which watch the 2athief was coming, he would have watched and would not have allowed his 1house to be broken into.
24:44 For this reason you also be ready, because at an hour when you do not expect it, the Son of Man is coming.

1st rapture in the Bible

Gen 5:24 And Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.

Overcomer will escape great tribulation by rapture before that:

Rev 3:10 Because you have kept the word of My endurance, I also will keep you out of the hour of trial, which is about to come on the whole inhabited earth, to try them who dwell on the earth.
Foot note for “Kept”
10,2c)keep Luke 21:36; cf. 2 Pet. 2:9
Trial here undoubtedly denotes the great tribulation (Matt. 24:21), which is about to come on the whole inhabited earth, as indicated by the fifth trumpet, the sixth trumpet, and the seven bowls of the seventh trumpet (8:13— 9:21; 11:14-15; 15:1; 16:1-21). The trial also includes the supernatural calamities of the sixth seal and the first four trumpets at the beginning of the great tribulation. The Lord promised the recovered church that He would keep her out of the hour of trial (not only out of the trial, but out of the hour of trial) because she has kept the word of the Lord’s endurance. This promise of the Lord, like His promise in Luke 21:36, indicates that the saints who keep the word of the Lord’s endurance will be raptured before the great trial, implying that those who do not keep the word of the Lord’s endurance will be left in the trial.
