I read the term "we" as referring to the believers collectively who are still alive, not specific to the people who first received this letter.

Paul expected for it to happen in his lifetime. Yet 2000 yrs and he still hasn't resurrected. Truth is, there's nothing left of him to resurrect. He's been dust for a couple thousand yrs.
