For this, we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord, Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. <em><strong>Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1 Thessalonians 5:9<\/strong><br>For <em><strong>God hath not appointed us to wrath<\/strong><\/em> but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Revelation 3:10<\/strong><br>&#8220;Because you have kept my command to persevere, <em><strong>I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world<\/strong><\/em> to test those who dwell on the earth.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1 Thessalonians 1:9-10<\/strong><br>For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, <em><strong>who rescues us from the wrath to come<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Romans 5:9<\/strong><br>&#8220;Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, <em><strong>we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Luke 21:34-36<\/strong><br>&#8220;Be careful not to spend your time having parties and getting drunk or worrying about this life.
