For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

​

After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

1 Corinthians 15:51, 52

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

​

in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
