In I Thessalonians 4:17, we read: “Then we which are alive and re­ main shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” The meeting re­ ferred to takes place at the time the Lord comes for His saved ones. By even a superficial reading, it is evident that by far the larger num­ ber of scriptures on the subject of the second coming have to do with Christ’s coming with His saved ones. “ When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations . . .” (Matt. 25:31-34). Th is passage clearly indicates a coming to earth in power and judgment, an entirely separate event, or, it may be said, stage of the second coming, predicat­ ing a period between the time when He catches away the church and when He comes in judgment. The late Dr. Griffith Thomas, in the Evangelical Christian, replying to the question: “ Is it correct to distinguish between our Lord’s com­ ing for His people and coming with His people,” says, “Most assured­ ly----- For all we know, this glorious mystery or secret is intended that we may be driven to study; not to take what others say about the sub­ ject, but earnestly to see “whether these things be so.” There seems nothing left to be fulfilled in prophecy before the com­ ing for His saved ones takes place, but it is readily seen that there is much to be fulfilled before the com­ ing with His saved ones can take place. Therefore, if we are looking for the imminent coming of the Lord, it must be when He comes for His saved ones. The following passages, carefully compared, show those that indicate His coming for the saved ones in rapture:
