💥 Podcast: We will rise to meet the Lord "in the air"

One day, the Holy Spirit said to me, "In the air."

I recalled that is in a scripture.  When I looked it up I found it in the following:

I Thessalonians 4

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which 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.

It is not that Jesus brings the dead in Christ to this present earth.  But rather Jesus raises the dead in Christ and gathers them to Himself "in the air."

Some will still be alive on this earth at that time.  After the dead in Christ are raised, then Jesus will cause those who are alive on this earth to leave these physical bodies and be gathered to HIM "in the air."

For there is a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.  (II Peter 3)

All who belong to God will be taken to this new heaven and new earth. (Rev. 21), And this current heaven and earth will be destroyed by God in the fire.  (II Peter 3)
