What is the meaning of the Lord's descent from heaven in 1 Thessalonians 4:16? Is this text teaching a rapture of saints from the earth? Does it teach a yet future return of Christ? Will believers be caught up in the clouds? 

All of these are misunderstanding and misguided opinions and the futile, fatal fruit of futurism. It reveals the lack of trust in the Old Testament scriptures to guide us in our N.T. interpretation and applications.

In this study, we examine the background O.T. texts for the apocalyptic and symbolic imagery. This is a study that will be continued.
