John 10:17,18  For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up

The 1st resurrection
He is coming again!
1Thes 4:13-18  Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15According to the LORD's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the LORD, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For 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. 17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the LORD in the air. And so we will be with the LORD forever. 18Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Sorrow not as others if you believe.  If they died in the Lord, they are where you want to go
They are hoping you make it to be with them.  They finished their work.
1 Corinthians 2:9 “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
 
When a person’s spirit and soul leave the body,, it is dead, - just like faith without works is dead)
While Jesus hung on the cross, He said to the thief beside him, “This day shall you be with me in paradise”
2Cor 12 – Paul speaks of the 3re heaven
Paradise was transferred from the lower part of earth,
Sheol Hades, to heaven
He brought spirits and souls with him after death
We which are alive and remain shall not prevent them which are asleep
The bodies come forth first, reconnect with spirit and soul and they are caught up after their bodies reconnect
Pg 7 notes
The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout and the voice of the trumpet
We shall be caught up together with Him in the cloud
Not physically coming to the earth yet
2Cor 15  mortal bodies will be change in the twinkling of an eye, in a moment- less than a spilt second
2Cor 5:1  our earthly house of this tabernacle dissolved body will connect aacl woth the spirit
Building of God…eternal in the heavens   mortal take on immortality,  corruption take on incorruption
Earnestly desiring to be clothed upon in immortality

Be always confident, knowing that…walk by faith, not by sight
Philippians 1:23-24 23For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

We will be rewarded for faithfulness
Hold and maintain faithfulness, rejoice in the Lord always
There is a place prepared for you, truth and the life, 
You shall be like Him
Every man that has this hope in him purifies himself
Keep your mind on the Lord

Great white throne 
Book of life
Whoever is not found in the book of life will be thrown into the lake of fire!
Except you repent, you shall all likewise perish
Every deed, act, opportunity to get saved\books will be opened as everything is recorded
Open and naked with whom we have to do
Must have an urgency in our hearts concerning the lost
Broad is the road to destruction, stay on the narrow road
Ask forgiveness
We cannot be in fear or intimidated
We must warn the lost
Jesus is the way, the resurrection
There is 1,000 year difference bet between the 2 resurrections
 
We must understand the times
