13Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope. 14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.
15By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise. 17After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
18Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Be comforted by these words. If you lost someone who sleeps in death who was a believer in Christ, "since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him."
"By the word of the Lord!"
A promise from God!
The Rapture, "16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise."
Those who are dead will rise and be caught up in the clouds with them who are still alive to meet the Lord in the air.
Brethren, I encourage you with these words and Gods promise. Don't be like those in the world who reject Jesus and have no hope.
