“Let me say this, brothers:
flesh and blood cannot share
in the Kingdom of God,
nor can something that decays share
in what does not decay.
Look, I will tell you a secret —
not all of us will die!
But we will all be changed!
It will take but a moment,
the blink of an eye, at the final shofar.
For the shofar will sound, and
the dead will be raised to live forever, and
we too will be changed. (Note: we changed, not raised)
For
this material which can decay
must be clothed with imperishability,
this which is mortal must be clothed with immortality.
When
what decays puts on imperishability and
what is mortal puts on immortality,
then this passage in the Tanakh
will be fulfilled:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.
The sting of death is sin; and
sin draws its power from the Torah; but
thanks be to God, who
gives us the victory through
our Lord Yeshua the Messiah!”
1 Corinthians (1 Co) 15:50-54, 56-57 CJB
