Where in the Book of Revelation does it describe the dead in Christ will be caught up to be with Jesus first, before the living believers?
Are you telling this old man, the Book of Revelation fails to mention the dead in Christ are resurrected to meet Jesus in the clouds first?1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Should it not mention the living as well?That's not Revelation though.
Yet not in the Book of Revelation. Is this your claim?It does in the following verse.
Different matter.. I was looking for the account of when the dead believers in Jesus Christ were caught up to be with Jesus in the clouds in the Book of Revelation.Revelation 20:5-6 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
It's either there in the Book of Revelation, or it's not.Different matter.. I was looking for the account of when the dead believers in Jesus Christ were caught up to be with Jesus in the clouds in the Book of Revelation.

Return of the Lord (1st resurrection happens) all the saved dead or alive go to heaven
1 Thessalonians 4
The Return of the Lord
13 Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope. 14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.15 By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.
16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise. 17After that, 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 will always be with the Lord.
18Therefore encourage one another with these words.
