Have these things already taken place ?

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

“16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

Jesus said it would happen while some His disciples still lived. Don’t you believe Him?

He said no such thing.

The event that he referred to that some disciples would witness was the transfiguration..

The question was a yes/no question.

You imply that they did happen instead of explicitly responding yes, so I’ll take your response as a yes.

Can you point to Biblical evidence that ALL of those things happened ?

Where is it recorded it the Bible that those things happened ?

Cite chapter and verse.

The dead in Christ rose - and those which are alive were caught up together in the clouds.

That sounds like somewhere someone who have noted that in history. Sounds like a rather momentous event.

Dead people rising into the clouds, living people rising into the clouds.

Yet nowhere in recorded history and nowhere in the Bible is there a record of that momentous event having happened.

Please cite historical evidence that that event has already happened.
