1 Thessalonians 4:17

The Comfort Of The Lord's Return

¹⁶ For the Lord himself, at the summons, when the archangel calls and God's trumpet sounds, will come down from heaven, and first those who died in union with Christ will rise; ¹⁷ then those of us who are still living will be caught up with them on clouds into the air to meet the Lord, and so we shall be with the Lord forever. ¹⁸ Therefore, encourage one another with this truth.

Christ
