From the Mount of Olives He ascending,
The risen Jesus, the Christ, in public view;
In pow’r returning, likewise descending;
Bodies and souls rejoin; long lives ensue!
God’s trumpet sounds forth; Christ’s shepherd’s
voice calls;
The angels find dead believers’ remains;
Into each new body, Jesus installs
Its still-living soul, which He now retains!
Saved persons on earth, who’s yet alive,
Change in a flash, rise up, with all, unite;
Christ, the Groom; all the hosts of saved, His Bride;
Lead angel armies toward earth, with might!
No mild Jesus this, facing evil men—
He makes war, judges, and reigns without end!
Promise Made: 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 (Paul writes)—“For the Lord [Christ Jesus] 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 to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.” [Brackets added]
“For Jesus so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
