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. After 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 for ever (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). The Christian's hope is a confidence that God's purposes in history will be fulfilled, culminating in the return of Jesus Christ as described by Paul in 1 Thessalonians. The Bible says that before Christ's return there will be disorder in the world, and after Christ's return will be the final judgement. Then will be a new heaven and a new earth with the thrones of God and Christ. Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life (Revelation 22:17).
