2nd Timothy 4I ( Paul ) testify before God and Christ Jesus, who is about to judge living and dead ( The dead believer, and Living believer ), and by his appearing ( 2nd coming ) and his kingdom ,
Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will render to me in that day ( The Day of his 2nd coming) ; but not only to me ( Paul, will be Dead on the day of the 2nd coming ) , but also to all who love his appearing ( All the living that witness the appearing of Christ will also be judged and given the crown of righteousness ).
1 THESS 4For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive [and] remain to the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep.For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven ( ACTS 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. ) REV 1:7 Look! He comes with the clouds of heaven. And everyone will see him--even those who pierced him. And all the nations of the earth will weep because of him. Yes! Amen ) with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 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.
