The rapture
AffectorEven so God will bring with Him
Those who have fallen asleep
For this we tell you by the word of the Lord
That we who are alive, who are left to
The coming of the Lord
Will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven
With a shout, with the voice of the archangel
And the shofar of God
The dead in Messiah will rise first
Then we who are alive, who are left
Will be caught up together with them in the clouds
To meet the Lord in the air
So we will be with the Lord forever
For you yourselves know well
That the day of the Lord comes
Like a thief in the night
For when they are saying, "Peace and safety"
Then sudden destruction will come on them
Like birth pains on a pregnant woman
And them will in no way escape, no way escape
But you aren't in darkness
That the day should overtake you like a thief
You are all children of light
And children of the day
We don't belong to the night
Nor to darkness
For those who sleep, sleep in the night
And those who are drunk are drunk in the night
Rejoice always
Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks
For this is the will of God
In Messiah Yeshua (toward you)
So we will be with the Lord forever
For you yourselves know well
That the day of the Lord comes
Like a thief in the night
For when they are saying, "Peace and safety"
Then sudden destruction will come on them
Like birth pains on a pregnant woman
And them will in no way escape
But you aren't in darkness
That the day should overtake you like a thief
You are all children of light
And children of the day
We don't belong to the night
Nor to darkness
So then let's not sleep as the rest do
But let's watch and be sober
So we will be with the Lord forever
