For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who
now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the
way.
2 Thessalonians 2:7
Perhaps no verse in the bible is more sufficient proof of a rapture than this one, it is clear that the power of the lawlessness is being held back until the one that holds it back is taken away , that one would have to be Holy Spirit or the Holy Spirit filled church , this verse would be saying that as long as the Church in on Earth , the Holy Spirit is holding back the power of lawlessness , another verse that would strongly indicate rapture can be found in Revelation chapter 3 , when Christ is talking to the church in Philadelphia he has no complaints against them and even says they have kept his word and not denied him because of this he gives them a promise :
Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you
from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to
test those who live on the earth.
Revelation 3 : 10
How could Christ keep the faithful at Philadelphia from the hour of trial unless we are talking of a Rapture? These are just a couple of verses that indicate a Rapture of the church , one indicates because of faithfulness and other indicates because the Holy Spirit is holding the power of lawlessness back.
