the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and
remain until the coming of the Lord, will not
precede those who have fallen asleep. (16) For
the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the
trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise
first.

meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be
with the Lord. (18) Therefore comfort one
another with these words.
