REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Seventeen - 'Those Who Are Dead First'

 The insight granted by the opening of the fifth seal agrees completely with other scriptures that have to do with heavenly resurrection. For example, the apostle Paul wrote:  "For this is what we tell you  by Jehovah's Word, that we the living who survive to the presence of the Lord shall in no way precede those who have fallen asleep in death; because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice and with God's trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first. Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we shall always be with the Lord." - 1 THESSALONIANS 4:15, 17.
