As Jesus declared in John 14:3, "I will come again and receive you to Myself," His promise resonates throughout the ages and finds ultimate fulfillment in the Apostle Paul's prophetic words; "The dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
With this call to spiritual vigilance, urging readers to live with eternity in mind.
