it means that those who were christians and have passed will rise first, then those of us who are alive will go next and meet those who we have loved and lost in heaven with Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior. I cant wait till that day and its not that far away. so LOOK UP YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NEIGH>>

If Jesus did provide an exact date, doesn't people sin unbelievably till the day earlier, then repent. That doesn't be good would it not. Mar 13:23 yet take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all issues. Mar 13:24 yet in at present, after that tribulation, the sunlight will be darkened, and the moon shall not provide her mild, Mar 13:25 And the celebs of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven will be shaken. Mar 13:26 and then shall they see the Son of guy coming interior the clouds with tremendous skill and glory. Now that wasn't obscure in any respect become it, Jesus did not tell the date because purely the daddy knows even as. Mar 13:32 yet of that day and that hour knoweth no guy, no, not the angels that are in heaven, neither the Son, even if the daddy.

Hello I could answer your question their. What they mean by the dead in Christ shall rise first. It mean when the final day has come. Like when the Anti Christ show himself to ever one on this earth. A lot of good people will die, but some good people will live and tell the story about it. And who ever has faith and pray to Christ those people shall be the first to live again. Because God always puts he's peoples first. The people that worship him and then the secondary people that live a descent not so wicked life second. But like I said the people who served God shall come alive first, because they served the Master. It like if you love your mother and if she does allot of things for you. You would always think of Her before family. Because she do stuff for you and also gave you life. It just like who ever do something for the Master, God will never forget them of their kindness. And he doesn't put no one before his people. he doesn't put them second, third or fourth. I hopes this answer your question. Also read the very last page of the Bible the chapter is called REVELATION

It means that the dead who are believers in Christ (saved) will rise. Which tells me that we don't go to Heaven or Hell immediately upon death, but after the judgment which will be after the Return (and Resurrection). I believe (and many Christians scattered in all denominations agree) that we are asleep in the grave until Christ's return. Then the dead will rise, just like the verse you cited.

Those who have developed a relationship with Jesus during this physical life are said to be dead IN him when they physically die. Their spirits live on in heaven and will be reunited with a glorified body when Jesus returns. This will happen just before those who are physically still living are taken up.

You don't have to worry about that because Jesus is not coming back, he's too afraid look what happened last time he was here. He was murdered by the jewish people.
