Brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed about those who have fallen asleep in death,
lest you grieve as others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so,
God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord: We who are alive
and remain until the coming of the Lord shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall 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 so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:13–17
If you believe that Yehowah God, the Creator, came as a Son, died,
and rose again from the dead, you will live forever with the Everlasting Father, the Lord and Master of heaven.
Hallelujah!!
Though the righteous man dies, no one takes it to heart.
And though merciful and godly men are taken away,
no one understands that the righteous are taken away from the coming evil.
He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walked uprightly.
Isaiah 57:1–2
