Our King Will Return and Put an End to Death - 1 Thessalonians 4:13-8 - 0050

One of the major themes in Christian hope is the return of Jesus. First Thessalonians 4:13-18 is one of the key texts talking about that. This study looks at the some of the background info that helps us understand that passage in its original context, and in doing so, raises questions about the popular rapture theology.
