Isaiah 35:9-10

9No lion shall be there,
nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;
they shall not be found there,
but the redeemed shall walk there.
 10 aAnd the ransomed of the Lord shall return
and come to Zion with singing;
beverlasting joy shall be upon their heads;
they shall obtain gladness and joy,
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Jeremiah 32:15

15For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and cfields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.’

1 Corinthians 15:52-54

52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For dthe trumpet will sound, and ethe dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and fthis mortal body must put on immortality. 54When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:

g“Death is swallowed up in victory.”

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

The Coming of the Lord

13But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, hthat you may not grieve as others do iwho have no hope. 14For jsince we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him kthose who have fallen asleep. 15For this we declare to you lby a word from the Lord, ▼
▼Or  by the word of the Lord
 that nwe who are alive, who are left until othe coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For pthe Lord himself will descend qfrom heaven rwith a cry of command, with the voice of san archangel, and twith the sound of the trumpet of God. And uthe dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive, who are left, will be vcaught up together with them win the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so xwe will always be with the Lord. 18Therefore encourage one another with these words.

1 Peter 1:4-5

4to yan inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and zunfading, aakept in heaven for you, 5who by God’s power are being guarded abthrough faith for a salvation acready to be revealed in the last time.
