How will the Lord descend from heaven at His coming?
The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God. Paul says the dead in Christ shall rise first in resurrection power, and we who are alive and remain shall not precede them.
Les teaches from Paul's words in verse 15 that the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God. Paul says that we who are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not precede or go ahead of them who have died, for the dead in Christ shall rise first in resurrection power. This descent is accompanied by these three specific elements.
