New International Version
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
I spent my youth well into middle age, sorta, being told and somewhat believing that I would not die but actually luck out and live in the times when I'd merely twinkle into being "God as God is God."
I just suspected I'd rather twinkle in an eye than die in a nursing home or in some other less than twinkly way. Here is a short list of the big names who tried to convince themselves, me and you of that.
(I'd say Gospel Jesus, but you'd just get angry)
Peter
James
John
Paul
2000 Years of Church Fathers
Herbert W Armstrong
Garner Ted Armstrong

........are dead and lived their entire lives as if they wouldn't die
Therefore and thus sayeth myself in what I would like to be remembered as the "No Brainer, I'm Pretty Sure I'm Right Prophecy"
Dave Pack

Robert Thiel
Gerald Weston
Victor Kubic

...to follow
Between being convinced we were chosen, special, set apart, protected, watched over and unique, we gave others permission to waste our time and forgot...
My personal suggestion...
