"For 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. Then 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. Therefore comfort one another with these words." (1 Thess. 4:16-18)
Whether we Christians live or die, we have nothing to fear because Jesus will come either with us or for us! I am not saying we will not be persecuted for our faith, because as the end of the age draws near, that is surely more and more a distinct possibility. But I am saying we will not be here when the Antichrist rules, breaks his peace covenant with Israel, and the war breaks loose. Praise God for the blood of Jesus Christ, which provides the way of escape for those who trust Him!
We will lift our hands High, high into the air We will praise our heavenly Father With them steadfast there.
He is the source of our being May we lovingly serve Him well Offering clean hands and pure hearts That in His mercy we may always dwell.
