91:10-12 " 10 There shall no evil befall thee , neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 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. I believe it is found here in this scripture. 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. who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? Some say Paul, because he used the
term "we", mistakenly thought he would live until the Lord returned. How shall I love that word? He led me to Psalms 89:14-15, “ Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth shall go before Your presence. (I Thessalonians 4:13-18). Acts 8:2). They have not lost their reward in death. We don't hear what people pray in the middle of the night, alone in their bed. (16) For.--A justification of the statement that we shall certainly not prevent the dead; therefore, the words as far as "trump of God" are logically parenthetical; and the proof only begins at "They shall rise first: then we shall be caught up.". Then you better be sure you are ready
(Luke 12:40)! The Hebrew word used for “shout” here means “split the ears.” The weeping of the Israelites was so joyful and the praises so loud that they “split the ears!” Some people say they can’t stand noise and shouting in church. By Jon W. Quinn
From Expository Files 2.10; October 1995. Read these scriptures and be at peace in your heart about it. Or how about this: "Traveler,
curse me not as you pass, for I am in darkness and cannot answer". When my body dies dead I will be raised to have a new body with God and Jesus.. The victory was in the shout. (I Thessalonians 4:14b, 15b). We must focus on speaking truth to those who are lost and not become filled with doubt or fear. Not unlike the caterpillar and butterfly. Joshua 6:10 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. (Matthew 22:32). Then, if that is so, a literal shout should be heard, literal graves opened, and a literal trumpet heard by true believers(those who love the things of God and love people). At the beginning, as pagans were being
delivered from the curse of unbelief by the grace of God and the power of the
gospel, these new Christians needed to be taught about the eternal hope we all
have in Christ Jesus. That would be Michael (Jude 9). It is not hard to distinguish as to whether an epitaph belongs to a believer or
an unbeliever. It needs to be pointed out that this passage only deals with the death and
resurrection of the righteous. We Are Assured By The Revealed Word of Christ
"But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep,
that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope...For this we say to
you by the word of the Lord..." (I Thessalonians 4:13,15a). There are three distinct sounds mentioned by
Paul that will occur at the moment of Christ's appearance in the sky. The enemy is hard at work trying and in many ways succeeding to divide Gods people. It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people will go up every man straight ahead.” That resurrection word, that shout of victory, Resound, For ever with voice.
