UST In fact, what we apostles are now telling you is a message from the Lord Jesus himself. When the Lord Jesus comes again, all believers in the Messiah will greet him.

He’ll come down from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise—they’ll go first. Then the rest of us who are still alive at the time will be caught up with them into the clouds to meet the Master.
