1 Corinthians 15:52

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

The last trump - at the sounding of the trumpet on the last day (; ). Or, the Spirit hints that the other trumpets mentioned subsequently in the Apocalypse shall precede, and that this shall be the last (cf. ; ). As the law was given with the sound of a trumpet, so the final Judgment according to the law (: cf. ). As the Lord ascended "with the sound of a trumpet" (), so He shall descend (). The trumpet convoked the people on solemn feasts, especially on the first of the seventh month (the type of the completion of time: seven indicating perfection): on the tenth was the atonement, and on the fifteenth the feast of tabernacles, commemorative of completed salvation out of spiritual Egypt (cf. Psalms 50:1; Zechariah 14:18). Compare, His calling Lazarus from the grave "with a loud voice," , with ; .

The trumpet shall sound, and - immediately, in consequence.
