descend from heaven.
He will appear in the air, "with a shout,".
The dead in Christ shall rise first, then the
living believers shall be caught up with them.
"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
Then we which are alive
and remain shall be caught
up together with them in
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we
ever be with the Lord."
I Thessalonians 4:16-17
