“Brothers, we want you to know the truth about those who have died, so that you will not be sad, as are those who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again, so we believe that God will take back with Jesus those who have died believing in Him. This is The Lord’s teaching; we who are alive on the day which The Lord comes back will not go ahead of those who have died.
There will be a shout of command, the archangel’s voice, the sound of God’s trumpet, and The Lord Himself will come down from Heaven.
Those who have died believing in Christ will rise to life first: Then we who are living at that time will be gathered up along with them to meet The Lord in the air. Then we shall be forever with The Lord.”. (1.Thess: Ch 4 from v11. ) (GNB)
