"For this we say unto you by the word of the

Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto

the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them

which are asleep.
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 in

Christ 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.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

This is considered the rapture 'catching away' of
of the Church 'saints'. Before the tribulation is to
begin. Some get confused or mixed up with the
second coming of Jesus.

Rapture the saints meet Jesus in the air and are
there during the tribulation.

Second coming the saints return with Jesus to
to establish His 1000 year reign on the earth.
