For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 NASB)
Sequence of events, according to 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17:
- The trumpet will sound;
- The Lord will descend;
- We shall all be changed;
- The dead in Christ will rise first;
- Those alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds;
- All will meet the Lord in the air and shall always be with Him;
- This will happened in the twinkling of an eye.
"Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven." (Acts 1:11 NIV)
