Answer Details
Paul in Thessalonians declared that at the second coming of the Lord, those who are alive will not precede those who are asleep. In this context, "asleep" refers to Christians who have died and gone to be with the Lord. According to Paul, when Jesus returns, those who have died in Christ will be resurrected first, and then those who are still alive will be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air. The idea is that the dead in Christ will rise first, and then those who are alive will join them, so that all believers will be together with the Lord. This teaching is often referred to as the "Rapture" in Christian theology.
