1 Thessalonians / Question
Question source
1 Thessalonians
Paul says that at the Lord’s coming “the dead in Christ will rise first” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). Then those who are alive will be “caught up…to meet the Lord in the air,” and “so we will always be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
16For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God`s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,
17then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.
