Since when we die, we are absent from the body and present with the Lord (II Corinthians 5:8), when the Lord returns to raise our bodies from the grave, those who have died in Christ will return with him.  In our case that would be I Thessalonians 4:14.

In Israel’s case that will be at the Lord Jesus’ second coming and the first resurrection which takes place before the 1000-year reign – Revelation 20:4-6.  At that time all Old Testament Saints will be raised from the dead including Adam & Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Matthew 8:11), Job (Job 19:25-27), Daniel (Daniel 12:13), The 12 Apostles (Matthew 19:27,28), as well as those who died in faith in the tribulation.
