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 .

Revelation 12 (NIV1984)
7 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in
heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent
called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was
hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
This Week's Sky at a Glance
Some night sky sights for August 3 – 11
Mars is closing in on Saturn and Spica....
Sky & Telescope diagram
Mars and Saturn (magnitudes +1.1 and +0.8, respectively) are low in the
west-southwest at dusk, forming a triangle with similarly bright (but
twinklier) Spica. Saturn and Spica are 4½° apart, with Saturn on top.
Mars, to Spica's right, is approaching closer to them every day. It
Mars will pass between them on August 13th and 14th.
