3 anticipating the return of Christ 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11

4 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 what will happen when Jesus returns?

5 1 Thessalonians 4: Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

6 1 Thessalonians 4: According to the Lord s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord 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.

7 1 Thessalonians 4: After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

9 what will happen when Jesus returns? when Christ comes again, we will receive new bodies o 1 Corinthians 15:49-54

10 o 1 Corinthians 15: And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man. 50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed

11 o 1 Corinthians 15: in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: Death has been swallowed up in victory.

12 what will happen when Jesus returns? when Christ comes again, we will receive new bodies o 1 Corinthians 15:49 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.

13 what will happen when Jesus returns? Jesus will establish His physical kingdom here on earth & rule for 1,000 years o Revelation 20:1-4

14 o Revelation 20:1-4 (ESV) 1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. 2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.

15 o Revelation 20:1-4 (ESV) 4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

16 what will happen when Jesus returns? Jesus will establish His physical kingdom here on earth & rule for 1,000 years o Revelation 20:1-4

17 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 when will Christ return?

18 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 1 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, Peace and safety, destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape

19 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 when will Christ return?

20 when will Christ return? 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 if Jesus gave us signs that will precede His coming, and if these signs have not yet been fulfilled, how can we say that He could come back at any moment?

21 when will Christ return? Jesus cannot come back at any moment because Jesus can come back at any moment all the signs have not been fulfilled

22 when will Christ return? Jesus cannot come back at any moment because Jesus can come back at any moment all the signs have not been fulfilled all the signs have already been fulfilled it is possible, but unlikely that all the signs have been fulfilled

24 o 1 Thessalonians 4: Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him

25 o 1 Thessalonians 4: For the Lord 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. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

27 o 1 Thessalonians 5: But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

28 o 1 Thessalonians 5: But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
