How does that fit with "meeting the Lord in the air?
(1Thessalonians 4:14-18)
If you had actually read... and studied... what Apostle Paul really said in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 you would have clearly understood that Paul was pointing to the LAST DAY of this world for Jesus' future coming to gather His Church.
Men's false Pre-trib Rapture theory wrongly teaches the idea of a 'rapture' for ALL... the Church, when that is not what Apostle Paul taught in 1 Thess.4.
The idea of the 'rapture' (which word is actually translated to "caught up" in the KJV), is only... about the saints STILL ALIVE ON EARTH WHEN JESUS DESCENDS FROM HEAVEN WITH THE RESURRECTED SAINTS.
Paul says the asleep saints are raised first, and Jesus brings them with Him on His descent to earth.
Then at that SAME time, on Jesus' descent, the still alive saints are "caught up" (i.e., raptured) to Jesus in the "air" on His descent to earth.
And though Paul did not include the 'where' Jesus descends to, it is written in Zechariah 14, and will be upon the Mount of Olives where He ascended to Heaven from per Acts 1.
And per John 6, Jesus showed the future resurrection happens ONLY on the LAST DAY of this world when He comes.
So you have ample Bible Scripture witness that the Pre-trib Rapture theory is false, so why do you follow those men behind it instead of listening to Lord Jesus in His Word and to His Apostle Paul?
