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.
Note the use of the words "together" and "with him." These speak of reunion. In heaven we not only will be with the Lord but also, as the song writer expresses it, "And with the morn those angel faces smile, which I have loved long since and lost a while."
