1 Thess. 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant ,brethren , concerning them which are asleep , that ye sorrow not , even as others which have no hope.
1Thess. 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again , even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1 Cor. 15:51 Behold , I show you a mystery ; We shall not all sleep , but we shall all be changed ,
1 Cor. 15:52 In a moment , in the twinkling of an eye , at the last trump : for the trumpet will sound , and the dead shall be raised incorruptable , and we shall be changed.
1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die , even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Cor. 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,and this mortal must put on immortality.
Rev. 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me , Write Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth : Yea, saith the spirit , that they may rest from their labours : and their works do follow them.
Thess. 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds , to meet the Lord in the air : and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Cor. 15:23 But every man in his own order : Christ the firstfruits ; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1 Cor. 15:36 thou fool , that which thou sowest is not quickened , except it die.
1 Cor. 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption , and this mortal shall have put on immortality , then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written , Death is swallowed up in victory.
1 Cor. 15:55 O death , where is thy sting ? O grave , where is thy victory?
Rather than a vanishing of believers as many preach, look for a situation that the dead in Christ rise,than the believers which are alive and remain on earth being caught up into the air at their death,without having to sleep , in a moment and a twinkling of an eye.But every man in his own order.In adam all die.Death not being annulled until The great white throne judgement ,
Rev. 20:14. "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." As far as the believers dissapearing , the rest being left to the evil of the anti-christ as some teach , look to St. John 17:15 " I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world , but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil."
