1 Thessalonians 4:17

The Comfort Of The Lord's Return

¹⁶ because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; ¹⁷ then we who are alive, who are left, will at the same time along with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be always with the Lord. ¹⁸ So comfort one another with these words.

Meet the Lord in the Air

On Earth

Christ
