The Resurrection


Who will “rise first” to meet the Lord?
Those who have died in Christ.

Who, in addition to the righteous dead, will be caught up to meet the Lord?
Those who are alive at His coming.

Where will they be caught up to?
In the clouds/air.

How will the righteous Saints participate in the Second Coming?
They will be the first to be resurrected and will be caught up and meet God in the clouds.

Who will be resurrected at the Second Coming?
Only the righteous.

How do the Joseph Smith Translation changes for 1 Thessalonians 4:15, 17 clarify what paul taught about who would be alive when Christ comes again?
In verse 15 the word remain is omitted. This says to me that those who are alive are meant to be there. The word remain makes it sound like some people will just happen to be there.
In verse 17 those who are alive and those who remain are separated and brought back together in the presence of God.

Who will not survive the Second Coming?
The wicked, sons of perdition.


When will they be resurrected?
After the Millennium.


I answered the questions by studying the scriptures.I decided to do this because it mentions the resurrection in my Patriarchal Blessing. I used my scriptures and my brother. I could have added the scripture references where I found the answers, just for future reference.
