Second Coming

But let me tell you something wonderful, a mystery I’ll probably never fully understand. We’re not all going to die— but we are all going to be changed. You hear a blast to end all blasts from a trumpet, and in the time that you look up and blink your eyes—it’s over. On signal from that trumpet from heaven, the dead will be up and out of their graves, beyond the reach of death, never to die again. At the same moment and in the same way, we’ll all be changed. In the resurrection scheme of things, this has to happen: everything perishable taken off the shelves and replaced by the imperishable, this mortal replaced by the immortal. Then the saying will come true: Death swallowed by triumphant Life! Who got the last word, oh, Death? Oh, Death, who’s afraid of you now? It was sin that made death so frightening and law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage, its destructive power. But now in a single victorious stroke of Life, all three—sin, guilt, death—are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ. Thank God!
1 Corinthians 15:51‭-‬57 MSG

Those alive when Christ returns will not die but be changed into a new being in the blink of an eye. Its science fiction stuff I agree. However, because even Jesus referred to this time and various writers: Paul and Peter to name a few refer to this happening, I can trust this to be true.

Even Jesus' disciples did not believe He would rise from the dead and when He did and told them He was going away and sending the Holy Spirit they struggled to believe, yet it happened.

So, as wild as this might sound, I believe it. Amen!
