Coming of the lord jesus Christ » Who
I do not want you to be ignorant brothers, concerning those who are asleep (in death). You do not need to sorrow like others who have no hope. If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus. We tell you this by God's Word, that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede those who are asleep. read more.

You have no need that I write to you about the times and dates, brothers. For you know perfectly that the Day of Jehovah will come like a thief in the night.

You do not live in the dark. That day should not overtake you by surprise as a thief would. You are all the children (sons) of light, and the children of the day. We are not of the night, not of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep like others do. But let us watch and be sober. They that sleep do so in the night. They that get drunk are drunk in the night. Let us be sober and put on the breastplate of faith and love; and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God has not appointed us to experience his wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us, that, whether we are awake in this life or sleep in death, we should live together with him. Comfort each other and strengthen one another as you are doing.

Too bad for me! For I am like the gathered summer fruit, as the grape gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat. I desire the first ripe fig.
