The word might be man-made, but what it entails is very real  
  
1\. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (KJV)

"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."

This is the clearest reference to the rapture, describing believers being "caught up" (the Greek word harpazo, meaning to snatch away) to meet Christ.

2\. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (KJV)

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

This passage speaks of an instant transformation of believers, reinforcing the idea of a sudden event.

3\. Matthew 24:40-42 (KJV)

"Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."

Some interpret this as referring to the rapture, though others see it as part of the final judgment.

4\. Revelation 3:10 (KJV)

"Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."

Some believe this suggests that true believers will be removed before the tribulation.
