1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .
T/Sue, isn't the Mt. Etna volcano, the same volcano that wiped-out Pompeii? 
Oh.
Thank you, Kath, for correcting me as to which the correct mountain was that buried Pompeii.

Kathy is right, it is Vesuvius that buried Pompeii and it is a little closer to Naples where Mt Etna is in Sicily. In the map below you see Naples and Pompeii next to each. Then further south at the "Toe" of the boot of Italy is Sicily and Mt Etna.
Picture of Mt Vesuvius with unearthed ruins of Pompeii in foreground:
Campania, Italy
40.82 N, 14.43 E,
summit elevation 1281 m,
Complex volcano
Mount Vesuvius is one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes. The volcano has an eruption cycle of about 20 years, but the last eruption was in 1944. The volcano is rated as one of the most dangerous in the world with millions of people living close to the crater.

Thank you, T/Sue, for posting the maps, showing where the two volcanic mountains are. I greatly appreciate it.

P.S. That looks like either a black dog/or horse running/or galloping across the bottom of the bottom photo, does it not?
