I think this verse is trying to tell us to show sympathetic sorrow and understanding towards a Christian friend, and understand that those "troubles" are caused by not keeping reverence and awe toward the Father. Looking back on my life, I can see how I've missed it.
I think what you are referring to is the literal interpretation found here in God's word.
There are other verses, but this gives a clear understanding of God's plans for those dead and those alive during "the rapture".
Verse 16 refers to those that came before.
Verse 17 to the ones alive during Jesus' return.
Note that verse 18 states that this is to be a comfort to us.
As long as we are called up to be with the Lord, it doesn't matter to me if I'm first or last. I just like knowing that I'm going to be called.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Context
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For 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. 16For 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: 17Then 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. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Each day we walk through the Bible. Isaiah, the great old testament evangelist I ever saw talks about the final judgement in his last chapter. Let us learn from our text today that we (human beings) have a choice of free will to choose or reject JESUS CHRIST. In doing so we will suffer the consequences both now and for eternity. Let us not choose our own ways which will definitely end up in hell. "...they have chosen their own ways, ..." God has chosen the delusions for CHRIST rejectors. All believers shall worship their LORD every week in the New Jerusalem (which will descend out of Heaven to New Earth. Rev 21:10). While on the other end, Christ rejectors shall take their part in Hellfire. Their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched. Choose JESUS CHRIST before it's too late.
For while we were still weak and sinners, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Rom 5:6 ,8. JESUS CHRIST manifested in the fless, bore all our sins, died on the cross, buried and rose again from the dead, ascended to heaven, seen by angels, appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory. ( 1Ti 3:16) Believe Him and be saved, All the Earth.
Never give up brother, remember all earth is praying for u and yours now. Read the KJV so often as u have time. Learn Gods Word by heart. Ephesians 6
The Word is your/ours sword. God bless in u in Jesus name, i love u in Christ.
But then ill think of the web site KJV and my heart lifting up in the high, not sky yet. Here on the web with all my brothers and sisters i feel like home, yes indeed. A good place too be.
Jesus will never leave anyone behind.
But our brother Paul talk alot of sleepy ppl in
1 Corintihans 15:6 15:18 :15:20 and may other places example in 1 Corintihans 11:30.
Jesus talk about He will wake Lasarus up. Here i read a lot of sleepy/dead ppl who Jesus will wake. Or humbly am i wrong?
Stay strong in the word of God, love u in Christ.
Amen He will stand with us in the last days too. :) Glory too Him. God bless us thru, love u in Christ
Just wanted you to know since I was young God gave me the gift of f discernment. Although I cannot explain at such a young age, I humbly can say I am guided by such a wonderful God whom I made as my best friend. I love King Solomon's wisdom .
Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
"And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:" Colossians 2:10 KJV
We are watching JERUSALEM.
We have a great God.
I sing this song:
"And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints." Revelation 15:3 KJV
"Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest." Revelation 15:4 KJV
Stay well my brother in Christ.
administering justice when we break laws on the books. Traffic tickets can be disputed in traffic court. There is no need to run and be shot, etc. We can live by appearing in Civil Court with a low cost Legal Aid attorney, and state our case before a judge. God has ordained judges and courts to PROTECT the citizens. Yes there are scriptures for that in the Bible. "Obey those that have rule over you, and watch over your souls." When we just go along with the system, it can come out in our favor. Repent when we know in our hearts (SOUL) we are wrong. Then God will help us.
Our nation is operating on Facebook, YouTube and TikTok justice; which is mob rule. It causes CHAOS and people get inflamed and inflame others, and think mob rule is "legal"?
God gave TEN COMMANDMENTS, to help us have focus on what's right and what's wrong. Society is trying to kick out and tear down those commandments, but those rules were SET IN STONE.
If the majority of people think this way, and riot, burn down stuff, legislate it out__they will go through the Great Tribulation that will come down from Heaven. Many will be killed by the Antichrist because they will refuse to be injected with His Mark.
Things might get better if instead of mobs and riots, we re-register with the red party and let the House in DC know, "WE THE PEOPLE" say no more price inflation, and no more shutting down our own oil supply. FUND the baby food companies to start producing again! Quit spending money on Kerry's dream of a GREEN EARTH.
The Green Deal IS THE ONE WORLD RELIGION. Vote it out and don't support it.
Let's really start praying for God to be part of our nation!
Jesus doesn't have an 'earthly' father(seed)to pass the tribeship to him; so if Mary marries Joseph I was thinking that this same new revelation would apply to Christ qualifying to be from the tribe of Judah.... The woman does not determine what tribe the children will be of; it is the father, Matthew 1! Jesus Christ's Father was Jehovah, and not Joseph..... I still think it was by "oath" that Jesus qualified to be a Prophet, Priest and King; and that is what qualified him to be of the tribe of Judah- by 'oath'!
Your thoughts,

.....Thats y the NEW BIRTH is so important we are gonna birth a Baby Christ which is the H.G. that Child of PROMISE....We the whole world is gona be his Mother, Jesus asked who is my Mother ? Then he said them that hear my words ( his good seeds ) and keeps them intiating a birth of Christ in us humanity....Them that hear the words the contents of that book and keeps them. He wants everybody to be his mother thus he will be everybodies SON,THE SON OF MAN...MANKIND's fruit unto God....In Adam we all die but in Christ we will all live....Simply b/c of what he did at Calvary..The Blood
Genesis 6:6 And today we are the chosen one too set thing in order. Example 1 Peter 2:6 John 14:6 Make ppl see Jesus Christ only in Him thru The Holy Goust can we see God. Many see a different God today, but are driven away, becouse of the eval who is in them and the eval in the spiritual world, who every one not see. Ephesians 6:12-19 W e all need to come thru in Jesus.
I know nice ppl who have going too church for 40 years and they have the holy spirit in one way, but are bounded in television and work. I belive that God have a place for them. What i try to tell is: Not everybody sees the Spirit of the Holy. And remember we have all different work in the Lord. 1 Corintihans 12 And in that the eval can grow if they dont stop it by a gift they have. A friend may se it and pray to stop it.
Galatians 6:2
Thats why Paul continue to tell us, dont give up! We must be standfast in the Word of God and dont complane. And Love Jesus and all ppl, and rases.
God bless us all in Jesus name, love u in Christ
Seeing clearly, is what He gives to those who love Him. A clearness that is unobtrusive, that speaks without words, that moves mountains in the midst of its universe!
A clearness that will be given freely, unto you who may receive it!
Much like riding in the countryside, seeing the tributaries that flow, crystal clear, moving too their appointed places!
This clear water that flows into everlasting life, giving all it is for itself , a true and everlasting life!
This one who has gone before us, His strength that becomes ours , as we begin to see Him as He is, even more clearly!
His clearness will remove imperfections that are in the way. The mote in your eye, it will be gone, and you will see Him as He is!
This is His way. He is the way!
Can you see Him without this cleansing? It must come from Him ,flowing from Him ,into its appointed place!
This life is yours and given to those who will receive it.
Touch the hem of His tunic, Watch Him as He turns to see you. Do you see Him, and only Him? If so, you are seeing clearly!
Repent and be Baptized
Romans 14:17 The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink but rightness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Not sure how after we inherit all things some may not have access to all of God's eternal Gift.
These are not generations of years/timeline, but generations of families. In other words, if we tried to count the years between each person/event, we would find that there isn't any correlation between them. The first set of fourteen covered approx 1000 years; the second set, approx 400 years; and the third set, nearly 600 years. So we can't use a timeline to predict a possible fourteen generations after Christ. And even if we tried to do so, what families would we use, since after the dispersion & inter-mingling between Israelis & the world, it would be impossible to ascertain any Jewish generation? The only generation that matters to the Lord are those who have been 're-generated' & are now the children of God through His Son Jesus Christ. We can't apply another fourteen generations to this age (post-Cross/Pentecost) - we are those who look up, knowing that our "redemption/coming of the Lord draweth nigh." ( Luke 21:28; James 5:8).
However, in Ecclesiastes 12:13,14, we read Solomon finally expressing: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Maybe, this is the only (small) evidence of a man who has realized his errors in life & his life was always exposed before a Just & All-seeing God.
It is probably wise to remember how God's people were called out of other nations. Job was from the land of "Uz" to the east someplace; and this was said to be the oldest text likely written by Moses. Abraham was called out of Ur of the Caldees also to the east eventually gaining some of the territory but as Hebrews states never really being established in the Promised Land with a permanent city to live in while on earth. Moses was called out to save many of His people who were in Egypt for the prophesied 400 year period before they were to establish their initial conquering of surrounding nations; whose transgressions had to come to the full; according to other passages in Genesis.
It is thus not so much the conept of Monotheism; but the establishment of a priesthood and a Nation/State run as a sort of Theocracy that Israel had uniquely to itself. The law also had some universal applications to it; along with the peculiar ceremonial laws for Israel. We see the former with the attempts Abraham and Issac did to pass off their wives as "sisters" when in foreign lands. Pagan nations still have recognized boundaries there; and with their own spouses. Also; there are other scriptures indicating that according to the 12 tribes of Israel in some mysterious way the nations boundaries were divided.
We also have Pharoah honoring Joseph and his God; Nebuchadnezzar later in Babylon; and others who came to believe in the true God. History also seems to indicate an early belief in a supreme deity and similar flood stories to that of Noah; and a later corruption into idolotry. There are tribes of Israel said to be scattered in many parts of the world; as far as China and many parts of Africa. Knowledge of God exists today according to Psalm 19/ Romans 1.
