Is the "dead" in I Timothy 5 and in I Thessalonians 4, the same application relative to the rapture? [Matthew 24, I Timothy 5:6, I Thessalonians 4:14-16, I Corinthians 15].
What about The Rapture and the possibility of the wicked going away first, rather than the righteous [I Timothy 5:6, Mathew 13:24f]? Raising of the dead will first be whom? [1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, 2 Thessalonians 1:8].
