Romans 8:20-23

20For the creation awas subjected to futility, not willingly, but bbecause of him who subjected it, in hope 21that cthe creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22For we know that dthe whole creation ehas been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have fthe firstfruits of the Spirit, ggroan inwardly as hwe wait eagerly for adoption as sons, ithe redemption of our bodies.

1 Thessalonians 4:16

16For jthe Lord himself will descend kfrom heaven lwith a cry of command, with the voice of man archangel, and nwith the sound of the trumpet of God. And othe dead in Christ will rise first.
