Before I can answer this question I believe it is important to understand that the Bible is the word of God. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discern er of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Does God speak to us today? Hebrew 1: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2: Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; God spoke to us in times past through the prophets and now he speaks to us through his word the Bible. Believing it and following it is an act of faith. Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
The word Rapture was derived from the Latin verb rapere which means "to transport from one place to another". Possibly the next great scheduled event predicted in the Bible will happen when the Lord Jesus Christ appears in the Clouds and takes his followers home to be with him.
I Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14: For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15: For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16: 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: 17: 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. 18: Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
