1 thessalonians4:16-17. 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 shall rise first: 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.
