And you won't stay dead. either.

I'd never quite thought of it this way!

Thanks!

1 Thessalonians 4:16

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.

[Just mythoughts]

Elsie the 'dead' in Christ will rise first because they are already with Him. Remember that while in the tomb Christ went to the prisoners alll the way back to Noah's time and offered them salvation first.
