1 Corinthians 15: 52 states: "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." We shall all be changed “in the twinkling of an eye.” How long is that? Is a twinkle when the lid goes down or when it comes up, or is it both of them? Well, it simply means in a moment, in a fraction of a second. There won’t even be time to say, “Here He comes” or “He is here!” There will not be time to repent. You will either be ready or you won't. “At the last trump.” What does that mean? That is His last call. The trumpet is His voice. John tells us in the Book of Revelation, “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,” and when he turned to see who was speaking, he saw Christ. So “at the last trump” is the voice of the Lord Jesus. On His last call to mankind, He will call the dead back to life. He said, “…Lazarus, come forth”. Someday He will say to me, “Barry, come forth.” And He will also call you by name. Will you be ready? Do you know someone who isn't ready? What should you do about it? Do you care about their soul? The "moment" can happen at any moment. Listen for the trumpet because it is the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ.
