ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER

16 FOR THE LORD HIMSELF

WILL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN,

WITH A LOUD COMMAND,

WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL

AND WITH THE TRUMPET CALL OF GOD,

AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST.

17 AFTER THAT, WE WHO ARE STILL ALIVE AND ARE LEFT

WILL BE CAUGHT UP WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS

TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR.

AN SO WE WILL BE WITH THE LORD FOREVER.

18 THEREFORE, ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER WITH THESE WORDS.

(1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)
