1 cor 15:5
51 Listen, I am telling you a mystery: We will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. 53 For this corruptible body must be clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body must be clothed with immortality. 54 When this corruptible body is clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body is clothed with immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: Death has been swallowed up in victory. 55 Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting? 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
I. The occurence (51-52)
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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.
1 cor
I tell a mystery
Paul is telling the church here, “a mistery I tell”
This is to be a secret from God’s direct revelation to them.
It is importent for us to note here that Paul is dealing with things which defy language and baffle expression.
Paul says here look, I am about to tell you something importent that you will not understand
We understand sleep to be death
What is death
Death is the temporary cesation of Bodolly functions death is not a perminate state but a temporary state our body will not be destroyed or abandoned it will be changed
What is the mistery
in a moment,
we will all be changed
in the twinkling of an eye,
in a moment the dead in christ will be raised
at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,
at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
In a moment
this is the only place in all of scripture that this exact word is used and the word litterally means a inivisible moment. it is a place in time so small it can not be split into other times
Twinkeling of an eye
THis is an add on to the privious word this word meand a mompent that is rapid
So we know the rapture will come quickly in a single moment
The last trump
The last trumpet
The last trumpet in the book of revelation
Problums
Paul wrote 1 cor 40 years prior to revelation
all refrences in the eppisles look backwards (Paul was not a profit)
Jesues mention of a trumpet upon his return in Matthew
31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
to paul at the time this would have been the last rump
the sane event is seen in the OT
12 In that day the Lord God of hosts called for weeping and mourning, for baldness and wearing sackcloth; 13 and behold, joy and gladness, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

1 Blow a trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming; it is near,
30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
all of this happends before any of the trumpets in Revelation are found
14 Then the Lord will appear over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning; the Lord God will sound the trumpet and will march forth in the whirlwinds of the south.
Za
notice here the Lord God will blow the trumpet, he is not the one blowing the trumpets in revelation
7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.
this ends the discussion God blows the last trumpet the angel blows the 7th trumpet
the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
The dead will be raised imperishable
those who have passed away will be raised imortal
even those who are dead and decaying will be rased and they will be raised imortal
The living will be changed
the living will also be changed
Rember what 1 thes 4:17 sayes
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.
Upon the rapture both the bodies of the living and the dead will be changed.
4 For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, just as it has come to pass, and just as you know.
17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
II. The happening (53)
53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
Paul informs the corintinan church that in the rapture everyone will leave behind their old bodies.
This was the original intent in creation God created man in innocence to have an incoruptible body and this again will be enjoyed in the end.
I could spend a ton of time here going through the bodies of the saved and the unsaved and those born during the millinim but we simply do not have time for that this morning but I will make this one note this changed body is refering to the saved dead and alive,
III. The Results (V.54-57)
54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
:
8 He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken.
Paul quotes Iisah 25:8 and
8 He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken.
14 I shall ransom them from the power of Sheol; I shall redeem them from Death. O Death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your sting? Compassion is hidden from my eyes.
The reserction of believers causes us to be able to say
The reserction of believers causes us to be able to say
O death where is your victory
quotes hos 13:14
14 I shall ransom them from the power of Sheol; I shall redeem them from Death. O Death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your sting? Compassion is hidden from my eyes.
O death where is your sting
Why does death exist?
death exists because of sin
our sin was paid for at the cross
THerfore we know that When Christ comes for his Church the believer will never face death again
This event concludes the church
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rev
I love that word in scripture… but
in ephesians the word is used to show the heart of the gospel...
3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
here we see that
death had victory
death had sting
but thanks be to God because of the death of Jesues Christ
death has no victory
death has no sting
Praise God!
