1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (Amplified Bible)
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud cry of summons, with the shout of an archangel, and with the blast of the trumpet of God. And those who have departed this life in Christ will rise first.
17 Then we, the living ones who remain [on the earth], shall simultaneously be caught up along with [the resurrected dead] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so always (through the eternity of the eternities) we shall be with the Lord!
When I was a little girl I used to think that when you could see the rays of the sun coming out from behind the coulds that it was the angels gateway so the could fly down and take the people who have died to heaven. I still love to see this sight and pray that someday soon Jesus will come for us.
I look forward to that day too. I hope it comes sooner, rather than later!
