What happens to church age believers according to Paul?
Paul teaches that church age believers will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. This is how he lays it out in the later part of 1 Corinthians 15 and then in 1 and 2 Thessalonians for the church.
Les explains that Paul lays out the resurrection hope of church age believers in the later part of 1 Corinthians 15 and then in 1 and 2 Thessalonians. The key point is that church age believers will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Les then contrasts this with the Old Testament believer, noting that the Old Testament alludes to resurrection and believers expected it, but not enough is said there to build real knowledge. Daniel 12 says the most, and it speaks of Israel’s deliverance and a time of trouble, with a distinction between believers and unbelievers at resurrection.
