We Meet the LORD in the Air !He Does not return to the earth ! The Dead in Christ rise first !They are with Him Now1 we that are alive here !Go up to meet Him in the air !Then after the Great tribulation return here with Him to rule for 1000 years ! Only our Spirit goes up ,then we enter our New Bodies in Heaven [New Jerusalem ] and get our New names ,robes ,crowns , Jobs which we do when we return here ! The kings will be over nations , The lords over a citiy or Cities ?
Those are part of our rewards for our Works !
