1 Thessalonians 5&4
Hallelujah, father, you are the God of Peace, and you sanctify me completely. You preserve my whole spirit, soul, and body blameless at the coming of my Lord Jesus. You are faithful and you do all that you promise.
You did not appoint me to your wrath, but instead by your grace and mercy, you chose me to obtain salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. He died for me, and whether I am alive here on earth or dead, I live together with Jesus.
Someday, at your appointed time, father, the Lord Jesus, himself, will descend from heaven with a shout; with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God. Those who have died in Christ will rise from the dead, and those who are alive at his coming will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord Jesus in the air.
In that way we shall all meet together and from then on we shall always be with the lord.
