Now I am going to tell you a mystery...all of us are to be changed- in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet.  The trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  This corruptible body must be clothed with incorruptibility, this mortal body with immortality.  When the corruptible frame takes on incorruptibility, this mortal body with immortality, then will the saying of Scripture be fulfilled: 

     "Death is swallowed up in victory!"  "Oh death, where is your sting!"

                                                                                                 ...1 Corinthians 15: 51-56
