"for the dead in Christ
shall rise first"
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are 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.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thess 4:16-18
