It is just likethose who are alive at Christ’s second coming. Paul continueswith the revealed order of those who are saved, by stating thefollowing:So when this corruptible shall have put onincorruption, and this mortal shall have put onimmortality… (I Corinthians 15:54, 1 st part).This is an instant body-to-spirit process. In the “twinkling of aneye” (Verse 52) a change to a spiritual body occurs.

It is not The First Resurrection in Verse 52 but whenChrist puts down the last enemy - death. No one is dead any longer.Now Paul’s glorious summation of this entire account:55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where isthy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and thestrength of sin is the law (I Corinthians 15:55-56).
