Daniel 7:13-14

English Standard Version

The Son of Man Is Given Dominion

¹³“I saw in the night visions,

and ^(A)behold, with the clouds of heaven
    there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the ^(B)Ancient of Days
    and was presented before him.
¹⁴^(C)And to him was given dominion
    and glory and a kingdom,
that all ^(D)peoples, nations, and languages
    should serve him;
^(E)his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
    which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
    that shall not be destroyed.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

English Standard Version

The Coming of the Lord

¹³But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, ^(A)that you may not grieve as others do ^(B)who have no hope. ¹⁴For ^(C)since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him ^(D)those who have fallen asleep. ¹⁵For this we declare to you ^(E)by a word from the Lord,^[a] that ^(F)we who are alive, who are left until ^(G)the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. ¹⁶For ^(H)the Lord himself will descend ^(I)from heaven ^(J)with a cry of command, with the voice of ^(K)an archangel, and ^(L)with the sound of the trumpet of God. And ^(M)the dead in Christ will rise first. ¹⁷Then we who are alive, who are left, will be ^(N)caught up together with them ^(O)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so ^(P)we will always be with the Lord. ¹⁸Therefore encourage one another with these words.
