1 Corinthians 15:51-55

Thanks, Mditt. That's a relevant passage but not the one I'm looking for. I've read a passage that talks about the tribulation and then says something along the lines of "you shall be spared," in reference to those saved.

[Mark was here]

Rev 3:10

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Hmmm,

Revelation 7:14-17?

[MHGinTN]

Perhaps you are thinking of the passage in IThess where Paul speaks of the trump sounding and the dead in Christ rising first, then we who are alive and remain being caught up to gether with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord?...

1TH 4:13 Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope.
14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
15 According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 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.
18 Therefore encourage each other with these words.NIV
