I do not know when the rapture will happen my friend. All I can say is be ready, and don't take the mark of the beast, because that will probably come before the rapture. You can read all about that in Revelations. Also check this site out:

Well, I assume the rapture you speak of is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Could it happen this year? No one except our Heavenly Father knows exactly when the Lord will come.
Jesus Christ Will Return to the Earth: “I will reveal myself from heaven with power and great glory … and dwell in righteousness with men on earth a thousand years, and the wicked shall not stand.” Jesus has told us that certain signs and events will warn us when the time of his second coming is near. This second coming is also called “the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” (just as every prophecy pertaining to the birth of Christ was fulfilled, so too will those of his Second Coming)
Signs Will Tell Us of Jesus’ Coming
For thousands of years, followers of Jesus have looked forward to the Second Coming as a time of peace and joy. But before the Savior comes, the people of the earth will experience great trials and calamities. Our Heavenly Father wants us to be prepared for these troubles. He also expects us to be spiritually ready when the Savior comes in his glory. Therefore, he has given us signs, which are events that will tell us when the Savior’s second coming is near. Throughout the ages God has revealed these signs to his prophets.
What Are the Signs Foretelling Jesus Christ’s Coming?
Some of the signs foretelling the second coming of Jesus Christ have already been or are now being fulfilled. Others will be fulfilled in the future.
Wickedness, War, and Turmoil
Many of the signs are terrifying and dreadful. The prophets have warned that the earth will experience great turmoil, wickedness, war, and suffering. The prophet Daniel said that the time before the Second Coming would be a time of trouble such as the earth has never known. The Lord said, “The love of men shall wax cold, and iniquity shall abound.” “And all things shall be in commotion; and … fear shall come upon all people.” We can expect earthquakes, disease, famines, great storms, lightnings, and thunder. Hailstorms will destroy the crops of the earth.
Jesus told his disciples that war would fill the earth: “Ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. … For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.”
Many of these signs are being fulfilled. Wickedness is everywhere. Nations are constantly at war. Earthquakes and other calamities are occurring. Many people now suffer from devastating storms, drought, hunger, and diseases. We can be certain that these calamities will become more severe before the Lord comes.
However, not all the events preceding the Second Coming are dreadful. Many of them bring joy to the world.
The Restoration of the Gospel
The Lord said, “Light shall break forth among them that sit in darkness, and it shall be the fulness of my gospel.” Prophets of old foretold the restoration of the gospel. The Apostle John saw that the gospel would be restored by an angel (see Revelation 14:6–7).
The Coming Forth of the Book of Mormon
The Lord told the Nephites of another sign: the Book of Mormon would come to their descendants. In Old Testament times the prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel foresaw the coming of the Book of Mormon (see Isaiah 29:4–18; Ezekiel 37:16–20).
The Gospel Preached to All the World
Another sign of Jesus’ coming is that the “gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations” (Matthew 24:14). All people will hear the fulness of the gospel in their own language. Ever since the restoration of the Church, missionaries have preached the gospel.
The Coming of Elijah
The prophet Malachi predicted that before Christ came the second time, the prophet Elijah would visit the earth. Elijah would restore the sealing powers so families could be sealed together. He would also inspire people to be concerned about their ancestors and descendants. The prophet Elijah came to Joseph Smith in April 1836. Since that time, interest in genealogy and family history has grown rapidly. We are also able to perform sealing ordinances in the temples for the living and the dead.
The Lamanites Will Become a Great People
The Lord said that when his coming was near, the Lamanites would become a righteous and respected people. He said, “Before the great day of the Lord shall come, … the Lamanites shall blossom as the rose.”
Near the time of the coming of Jesus, the faithful Saints will build a righteous city, a city of God, called the New Jerusalem. Jesus Christ himself will rule there.
Great signs in heaven and earth
These are only a few of the signs that the Lord has given us. The scriptures describe many more.

It could happen at any time.Ever since Israel has been back since 1948.It is the Church holding back the Anti- Christ and when Jesus takes us out of the way,then that man of sin will be revealed. I Thessalonians 4: 14-18 and II Thessalonians 2.I believe it will happen but as Jesus said "No man knows the day or the hour.."

Well, I suppose if a person believed in such a thing as the rapture, then they could surely believe it would happen this year. They probably pray it does, actually.

If the rapture happens this year, or indeed, at all, then the War In Iraq never happened, dinsaurs are all fake and unicorns are not myths, but they live in the deserts of Saudi Arabia.
Ha.

No, there is no rapture. The world will not end until it becomes too hot for our atmosphere to support us, then we will die.
