Can you break down the end times for me?

But 1 Thess 4:17 is very inconclusive. The verse might just as well be speaking about the final judgement, the same event as in Revelation 20:13 and 14, just in different words, focussing on a different aspect of it.

It refers to 'we which are alive and remain', after the dead in Christ have risen.

In other words, believers in the Lord Jesus, His church.

The chief benefit of studying eschatology (objectively speaking - for those who have not lost sight of it in the course of protecting their paradigms so much that they have forgotten why they first sought them) is to prepare the reader to ready themselves for Jesus' second coming. That goal includes purifying one's self, being prayerful, and soberly keeping watch. Many Scriptures can be given to defend that statement.

Amen! Well said Brother.
