AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord! [John 14:3; 1 Cor 15:52; 2 Cor 5:8; Phil 1:23; Col 3:4] |

Bible Note: Greetings EdB, My understanding is that when Christ returns, the rapture and the slaying of Anti-Christ also happens at or near the same instant in time.. Then the 'dead in Christ' who are raised will be in the Millennial Kingdom as well as those who are raptured at the beginning of the second 3 1/2 years.. Only those who have rejected God will go through the second 3 1/2 years and endure the Great White Throne judgment. But this is only my "working understanding" this is continuing to develop..
