angel and with the trum0 of God and
following this the resurrection of the
Christian dead. II Thess. 4;l6, For

heaven with a shout, with the voice Of

God; and the dead In Christ shall rise

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 At this
time we received our glorified, in other
words, our resurrection body (Phil.
3:20-21), For our citizenship is IN
heaven; from whence also we wait for
a Saviour. the Lord Jesus Christ; who
shall fashion anew the body Oh our

the Son of Man shall come in His
glory, and all the holy angels with
Him, then shall He sit upon the throne
of His glory; and before Him shalt be
gathered all nations; and He shall sep
