Was the Rapture revealed to anyone besides the Apostle Paul?

No. The Rapture was a secret revealed by and to the Apostle Paul alone. The rest of the Bible knew nothing about this meeting in the air. The Old Testament, Jesus, and the Gospel accounts refer to Christ's coming as the Second Coming, not the Rapture.

Les explains that the Rapture is not the same as the Second Coming. Using Matthew 24 as the prime example, he shows that everything the Old Testament, Jesus, and the Gospel accounts refer to regarding Christ's coming is never the Rapture of the Church, the meeting in the air. That was something the rest of the Bible knew nothing about. It was only a secret revealed by and to the Apostle Paul. After the Rapture, the final seven years are associated only with prophecies concerning Israel, called the tribulation, ending with the Second Coming when Christ stands on the Mount of Olives.
