But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 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 thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.
1Thessalonians 4:13-18
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85095557 The classic Rapture text. Nice find! You're learning .... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22255432 That text refers to the resurrection. How do we know it is the resurrection? By looking at the context defined in 1th 4:14 which is talking about the resurrection of Christ and in the future our resurrection also. 1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. Quoting: Achduke7 I'm of the opinion that the Resurrection, the Rapture and the opening of the Day of the Lord (God's Wrath) all occur at the same time / are the same event. There is no resurrection 7 years before there is the real Resurrection taught in scripture. I believe the enemy could use this 7 year resurrection before the real Resurrection to fool pre-trib christians into thinking they have missed the rapture/resurrection. Jesus taught perseverance and prayer, not escape.
