Escaping death. [ 1 Thessalonians 4 v 13-18 ]

Let us continue to consider Enoch, this man who walked with God, in Hebrews11v 5 we read he was taken up to heaven without dying- he disappeared,because God took him. We read of only two people in the Bible who never died, Enoch and Elijah, why they were spared from dying, I do not know. Most of us will die, I say most of us, but there is coming a time when our Lord comes back again, millions of believers will suddenly be translated into His presence , without dying [1 Thessalonians4 ]. The hymn writer H L Turner,thinking of that day when the Lord returns, wrote,/Oh joy, oh delight, should we go without dying, no sickness, no sadness, no dread and no crying, caught up through the clouds with our Lord into glory, when Jesus , recieves His own./[ Dear God we we ask that You would hasten the day of Your Sons returning, in His precious name we ask this Amen ]
