1 Thessalonians 4:17

The Comfort Of The Lord's Return

¹⁶ For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first. ¹⁷ Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall ever be with the Lord. ¹⁸ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Meet the Lord in the Air

On Earth

To the Lord

Christ
