1 Corinthians 15:51\u00a0 <\/span>Behold! I tell 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 trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>1 Thessalonians 4:14-17<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.\u00a0\u00a0For 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.\u00a0\u00a0For 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.\u00a0\u00a0Then 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.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>2 Peter 3:10<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Matthew 24:31<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the Biblical sense, a mystery<\/b>\u00a0is simply a thing to be understood by spiritual, rather than by merely human perception. Paul will tell the Corinthian Christians something they could not have known by reason or research. They could not have known this unless God revealed it to them.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In a single moment, Jesus will gather His people (both dead and on the earth) to Himself, for resurrection. There will come a day when in God\u2019s eternal plan, He gives those dead in the Lord their resurrection bodies, and then in an instant He gathers all His people to meet Jesus in the air. All the redeemed on the earth at that time will rise up to meet the Lord in the clouds, and will receive their resurrection bodies. \u00a0Ironside says that the\u00a0last trumpet<\/b>\u00a0was a figure of speech that came from the Roman military, when they broke camp. The first trumpet meant, \u201cstrike the tents and prepare to leave\u201d; the second trumpet meant, \u201cfall into line\u201d; the third and\u00a0last trumpet<\/b>\u00a0meant \u201cmarch away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are you anticipating the last trumpet?\u00a0 <\/span>Are you ready to hear it?\u00a0 <\/span>Are you ready to face death and enter eternity?\u00a0 <\/span>Surrender your entire life to humbly serve, honor, follow, obey, trust, and rely in Jesus Christ.\u00a0 <\/span>There is no other way to enter eternity in heaven. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
