1Thessalonians 4:16-17“16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.17Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”1Thessalonians 5:5-10“5You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.6Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.8But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.9For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,10who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.”Acts24:15“Ihave hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.”
