1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 Because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ will first rise.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ will first rise. ¹⁷ Then we the living, who remain, will be caught up together with them in clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. ¹⁸ Wherefore, encourage one another with these words.
