For if we believe that Yeshua died (and rose again) Even so God will bring with Him Those who have fallen asleep For this we tell you by the word of the Lord
That we who are alive, who are left to The coming of the Lord
Will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep For the Lord himself will descend from heaven With a shout, with the voice of the archangel And the shofar of God
The dead in Messiah will rise first Then we who are alive, who are left Will be caught up together with them in the clouds To meet the Lord in the air
So we will be with the Lord forever
For you yourselves know well That the day of the Lord comes Like a thief in the night
For when they are saying, "Peace and safety" Then sudden destruction will come on them Like birth pains on a pregnant woman
And them will in no way escape, no way escape
But you aren't in darkness That the day should overtake you like a thief You are all children of light
And children of the day We don't belong to the night Nor to darkness
For those who sleep, sleep in the night And those who are drunk are drunk in the night
Rejoice always Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks For this is the will of God In Messiah Yeshua (toward you)
So we will be with the Lord forever
For you yourselves know well That the day of the Lord comes Like a thief in the night
For when they are saying, "Peace and safety" Then sudden destruction will come on them Like birth pains on a pregnant woman
And them will in no way escape
But you aren't in darkness That the day should overtake you like a thief You are all children of light
And children of the day We don't belong to the night Nor to darkness
So then let's not sleep as the rest do But let's watch and be sober
