I know dispensationalism as it is currently has morphed into different forms. Yet, this verse speaking of the dead in Christ rising and meeting the alive saints in the air and clouds. Is used by Classical Dispensationalists for the Rapture. It combines a resurrection of dead saints with alive saints. There are some who teach that even though this is the rapture. Jesus doesn't come to the earth. He is rapturing the dead saints from their graves with the live saints. But, at a later date will return with all of the saints He previously had raptured at a later time.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first." |
Yup, that’s how the rapture teaching interprets that verse.
The rapture doctrine is basically pre-trib or mid-trib.
