Correct. Keep up the good work.

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words." 1Thessalonians 4:16-18 (NAS)

According to scripture:

• "Jesus will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God" 1 Thessalonians 4:16
   

• Then "the dead in Christ shall rise first, then His followers who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them (the dead in Christ that rose)...to meet the Lord in the air." (4:16-17)
   

• "And thus we shall always be with the Lord." (4:17)

Not On This Earth:

1 Thessalonians 4:17 above says those that belong to Christ will "meet the Lord in the air" where they shall "always" be with Him. Jesus does not come down to heaven to reign here on earth, but rather to gather up those that are "in Christ" to take them to the place in heaven that He has prepared for them:

Jesus promised to His disciples in John 14:2-3:

"In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. ³ "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. John 14:2-3 (NAS)

When Jesus comes again, do you want be caught up with the rest of those who are "in Christ" to meet Him in the air...to go this place in His Father's house that He has prepared for His followers?  To find out how to be "in Christ" or "clothed with Christ," please see Lesson 1.
