1 Corinthians15:52

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 .

This Change will be on the sudden, in a moment; either upon the Will and Command of Christ, which shall be as effectual to call persons out of their Graves, as a Trumphet is to call persons together; or rather, upon a Sound made like to the Sound of a Trumpet; as it was at the giving of the Law upon Sinai, Exod. 19.16. We read of this last Trump, Matt. 24.31. 1 Thess. 4.16 There shall (saith the Apostle) be such a Sound made, and upon the making of it, the Saints, that are dead, shall be raised out of their Graves; not with such bodies as they carried thither, (which were corruptible) but with such bodies as shall be no more subject to corruption; and those who at that time shall be alive, shall one way or another be changed, and be also put into an incorruptible state.
