1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
New King James Version (NKJV)
For the ‘Lord’ [YHWH: Name, Word and Works, of Israel’s ‘Elohiym,] ‘Himself’ (ha-Yad: the-Means, the-Direction, etc..] will ‘descend’ [yawrad: subdue, take down.etc..] from ‘heaven’ [shamayim: the-visible arch (the farthest distance one can see), the-air (likely breath (the-spirit /ha-ruwach: the-expression), etc..] with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of ‘God’ [ha-‘Elohiym: the-Magistrates, the-Great(-ones), etc..]. And the ‘dead’ [nephesh: man, mind, etc..] in ‘Christ’ [ha-Mashiyach: the-Anointed, the-Concecrated, etc..] will ‘rise’ [quwm: succeed, establish, etc..] first. Then we who are ‘alive’ [châyâh: repaired, restored, etc..] and remain shall be ‘caught’ [châzaq: help(ing), maintain(ing), etc..] ‘up’ (ha-chabash: the-rule, the-govern, etc..] together with them in the ‘clouds’ [shamayim: the-visible arch (the farthest distance one can see), the-air (likely breath (the-spirit /ha-ruwach: the-expression), etc..] to meet the ‘Lord’ [YHWH: Name, Word and Works, of Israel’s ‘Elohiym] in the ‘air’ [shamayim (heavens): sky’s visible arch (the farthest distance one can see), air (YH’s breath /spirit /expression), etc..]. And thus we shall always be with the ‘Lord’ [YHWH: Name, Word and Works, of Israel’s ‘Elohiym].
Paraphrasing ‘YH’shua’ (YH’s salvation), ” ‘Your will’ (YHWH ‘Elohiym’s Word and Works) be done ‘on earth’ (IN US) as it is in heaven.”

Significance of the Name from Heaven, from the ‘Elohiym of Israel:
YHWH (YH):
“Moses says: May I say who sent me? He asks for ‘God’s‘ [‘Elohiym’s] name. The Israelites will want to know who has sent me, and ‘God’ [‘Elohiym] replies with a sentence, “Ehyeh asher ehyeh.” This is a first person sentence that can be translated, “I am who I am”, or perhaps, “I will be who I will be,”.. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_that_I_Am
The name that is what the Creator is /does! The Name that calls us to be /do as the Creator behind the name would. May it be so in YH’shua.
May, “YHWH bless you and keep you!” Numbers 6: 24-26.
