1Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep(have died), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

1Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep (have died) in Jesus will God ""bring with him.""

1Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep (have died).

1Thessalonians 4:16 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:

1Thessalonians 4:17 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.

1Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore ""comfort one another with these words.""

I'm probably gonna be here till God calls me home. There'll be no short cutting "Beam me up Scotties" for me..:)

God says pray that you be counted worthy to escape the coming judgments and know believers are not appointed to wrath BUT those that reject God and are left behind will be hunted down and killed by anti-christ!!

“God says pray that you be counted worthy to escape the coming...” destruction. 1 Corinthians 10:10-13 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. [11] Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. [12] Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. [13] There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

that you may be able to bear it.
able to bear what?

Escape is to remain. Very important “remain” “able to stand” “to endure”. Even Paul’s edification of move on to that which remains. Going on in other passage encouraging them to not be moved but instead planted of God, established in grace. Psalm 46:1-10 1] God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. [2] Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; [3] Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. [4] There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. [5] God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. [6] The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. [7] The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. [8] Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. [9] He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. [10](Peace) Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

LOL!! If you are caught up (raptured) then you did not remain on earth for the great tribulation judgments!!!PTL.
