1 Thessalonians 1-4
from Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike Hosted by Murphy Eyenike
What will it be like on the day the Lord Jesus returns to receive his own? The apostle Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians; "We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. " 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 NLT. There will be an order to his return, first off, we know it will be sudden and it will be in the twinkle of an eye. Next thing people will hear, and I expect this will be in rapid succession, will be; the commanding shout of Christ, then the voice of the archangel and finally the trumpet call of God. While people are still wondering what's going on, all they will notice is that believers, who are alive simply disappear into thin air. In the true order of the things, those who returned with Christ will receive their resurrect body, and then believers whi are alive will disappear. Sounds like crap or a fairytale right? Don't worry, when it happens, remember I warned you.
