shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,

9 And when he had spoken these things,

while they beheld, he was taken up;

and a cloud received him out of their sight.

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,

behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee,

why stand ye gazing up into heaven?

this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven,

shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.

1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh,

and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;

and the city shall be taken,

and the houses rifled,

and the women ravished;

and half of the city shall go forth into captivity,

and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations,

as when he fought in the day of battle.

4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,

which is before Jerusalem on the east,

and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof

toward the east and toward the west,

and there shall be a very great valley;

and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north,

and half of it toward the south.

5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains;

for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal:

yea, ye shall flee,

like as ye fled from before the earthquake

in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:

and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come,

and them that fear thy name, small and great;

and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

1 Corinthians 15.52 - 55

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:

for the trumpet shall sound,

and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,

and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,

and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,

and this mortal shall have put on immortality,

then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,

Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting?

O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin;

and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
