Bible Note: No, this is the fulfilment of the prophesy, death is swallowed up in victory. Paul saw a mystery revealed by illumination (and divine inspiration) concerning many old Testament prophesies about the resurrection from the dead. He saw that the prophesies speak of a people that would be alive and changed immortal. 1 Corinthians 15:51-56 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? There is a generation of saints that will not see death. Paul believed he could be part of that generation, so he said "WE". No man knows the hour, and God could have made it come to pass in Pauls day so Paul was not wrong, for God is not subject to time but time is subject to God. So we can say the same.. When WE that are alive are changed, our corruptible body is changed to incorruptible. You see that is the change spoken of. Changed from mortal to immortal, not that we die, but that we will not all see death, but some will just be changed. The dead in christ rise first, then we are changed in a twinkling to glorified bodies and rise. Our bodies are not left behind, they are changed and made glorified and eternal. Now when this occurs we also shine like the sun, and like the glory which Christ had on the mount, and we rise in glory. The world will see it in my opinion. |
