1 Corinthians 15:52

in. 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.

'in. moment' -'something that cannot be cut or divided' (Lenski p. 738) 'an indivisible fragment of time' (F.F. Bruce p. 155)

'twinkling of an eye' -'The change will be as instantaneous as the moving of an eyelid.' (Erdman p. 167) 'The split-second speed of the transformation' (F.F. Bruce p. 155)

Point to Note:

This would indicate that Matthew 24:1. especially verses 3-34 cannot refer to the Second Coming of Christ. For in those verses Christians are commanded to flee (1 Corinthians 24:16). In this chapter there is no time to flee. Which also infers, that the wicked will have no time to repent. (1 Thessalonians 5:1)

This verse also offers reveals that God can destroy the earth, and transform ALL THE DEAD, in. split second. Now if God can bring the whole created universe to an end IN. SPLIT SECOND, then certainly He could have created it in six days.

'at the last trump' -'This tells us when the change will occur' (Willis p. 586) 'It is the last trumpet not because it is the final in. series, but because it signals the End.' (Fee p. 802) (1 Thessalonians 4:16)

'and we shall be changed'. (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
