I don't see anything to suggest that these things will happen in the distant future especially if one concentrates on the word 'we'. If Paul was indeed, exclusively talking of a distant future event, he would have easily said:
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14For 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. 15According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that they who will be still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For 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. 17After that, they who will be still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so they will be with the Lord forever. 18Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Nothing prevented Paul from using the future tense.
