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.
"Just as each day of creation and the Jewish day consisted of two phases-a time of darkness (’evening’) followed by a time of light (’day’) [Genesis 1:4-6]-so the future Day of the Lord will consist of two phases, a period of darkness (judgment) followed by a period of light (divine rule and blessing)."
