The Blessed Hope All Christians who have died will one day rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air. Christians who have not yet died will be raptured, or caught up, with them, to be with the Lord. Then, Christians of all ages will live with God forever. The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of all Christians, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth for 1,000 years. According to God's promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will dwell and reign forever.
