When the rapture takes place, Jesus will
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
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."
I Thessalonians 4:16-17
