a great study is to do a parralel comparison between Matt. 24 and I Thess.4, and it is easy to see that both passages are talking about the same thing. Not two seperate events. In II Thess. Paul says "brethern I would not have you ignorant concerning the coming of our Lord and our gathering to meet him in the air". Notice the order of the events, His coming is listed first and then the gathering of His elect. There is only one article "the" which indicates he is talking about one event and not two seperate events. |
