then] shall be brought to pass the saying [word - the word “saying” is the word logos, word] Be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in [What?] victory.

With the return of Christ, when the corruption has put on what? Incorruption. And the mortal has put on what? Immortality. Changed; then this comes to pass. Not now.

Look at 2 Thessalonians. Oh, this is wonderful, people!

[2 Thessalonians 2:1] Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming. [The word “coming” is parousia, the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto him.]

Go back – keep this finger there, and go back to chapter 4 of 1 Thessalonians, just a page or so back. Let me put this stuff together for you easily and simply.

[1 Thessalonians 4:13 - 16] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are [What?] asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming [the return, parousia] of the Lord shall not prevent [the word “prevent” is precede] them which are asleep.
[16] For the Lord him self shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ [Are going to do what?] shall rise first.” Dead in Christ – the corruptible ones are going to do what? Rise first.

[1 Thessalonians 4:17 & 18] Then [Then” means what? Then. Keep your time right.] Then we which are [What?] alive and remain shall be caught up together with them. [The dead in Christ who have just been raised – we shall be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air. Does the lord come upon the earth for this gathering? No. The dead in Christ rise, those that remain are changed, and they meet the lord in the air.] So shall we ever be with the [What?] Lord.
[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

These are words of comfort. You see, if some people were already up there and we were still slave-laboring down here, it wouldn’t be any fun. But the way God has worked this out is that everybody gets there at the same time with all the blessings that He has made available – and what a tremendous truth, people!

Now, that is the first phase of Christ’s second coming. Do you understand it? He comes for his people, the saints. Those who have died since the day of Pentecost as believers. Their bodies are corrupted. The dead in Christ are going to be what? Raised what? [First.] Then those which are alive and remain at that moment have to be what? Changed. And they’re mortal. That’s why those mortals have to put on immortality. And those who have been corrupted have to put on what? Incorruption. It’s so simple, yet it answers every question that the human could ask.

First phase is Christ's coming for his saints or for the Church of the Body, called the gathering together. The second phase of the return is Christ’s coming with his saints. Just a change of prepositions.

First, his coming for his saints. Second phase is coming with them. In the first phase, he does not come upon the earth, right? Meet him in the air. Second phase, he comes upon the earth; but he comes with his saints. That coming with the lord of the second phase – the Greek word is apokalupsis; English word – they call it “apocalypse,” translated over in to the word “revelation.” It is called “the Day of the Lord” in the Book of Revelation, when he comes with his saints upon the earth.

2 Thessalonians that I told you to keep your finger in – you still got your finger? Chapter 2 again. “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto [in] him.”

[2 Thessalonians 2:2 & 3] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ [the lord; day of Christ is the Day of the Lord] is at hand [is “set in” is the text; that the Day of the Lord is set in].
[3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [that day of the return of Christ upon earth] shall not come, [then your King James says] except there come a falling away first.
