The document discusses the biblical concept of the Day of Gathering when Jesus will return to judge all people. It describes how believers who have died will be resurrected first, and living believers will be caught up together with them to meet Jesus in the air. It also discusses how all nations will be gathered and separated with the righteous being rewarded in heaven and the unrighteous receiving punishment in hell. The gathering will be sudden for unbelievers but expected for believers, serious as each person's life is reviewed and rewarded or punished, and separating as people are divided forever between heaven or hell.

1Th:4:13: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as
others which have no hope.
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.
1Th:4:15: For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord,
that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the
Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Th:4:16: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th:4:17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught
up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the
air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th:4:18: Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

his glory, and all the holy angels with him,
then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

all nations: and he shall separate them one
from another, as a shepherd divideth his
sheep from the goats:

Re:20:11: And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on
it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and
there was found no place for them.
Re:20:12: And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before
God; and the books were opened: and another book was
opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged
out of those things which were written in the books, according
to their works.
Re:20:13: And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and
death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and
they were judged every man according to their works.
Re:20:14: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death.
Re:20:15: And whosoever was not found written in the book
of life was cast into the lake of fire.
