Will We See the Dead in Christ Rise Before We Are Caught Up?

Every week, I answer a common question related to the end times. Today’s is about whether those alive at the Rapture will actually witness the dead in Christ being raised first.

Question:

Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 that “the dead in Christ will rise first.” Since they rise first, will those of us who are alive at the Rapture actually see them being raised before we ourselves are caught up?
