"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.
" 1Thes 4:16-17
(KJV)

The books of reference used for
this study of the book of I Thessalonians were
the Bible, King James Version, called "The
Companion Bible", Publisher Kregel; Strong's
Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, numbered to
the Hebrew, Chaldee, and Greek, and English,
coded to the Strong's Concordance numbers.
Other sources were also used besides these
references, but they were the major source of the
study. Of course without the leading by the Holy
Spirit, there would be no understanding of the
truths, for all the truth of the Scriptures are
revealed to us by God's Spirit.
John 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send
unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of
truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall
testify of me:
John 16:13-14
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of
truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever
he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will
shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for
he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto
you.
