IISUS SKORO.

1 Corinthians 15:52 in Other Translations

KJV 52 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.

• ESV 52 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.
• NLT 52 It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed.
• MSG 52 You hear a blast to end all blasts from a trumpet, and in the time that you look up and blink your eyes – it’s over. On signal from that trumpet from heaven, the dead will be up and out of their graves, beyond the reach of death, never to die again. At the same moment and in the same way, we’ll all be changed.
• CSB 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

1. Lord, are we ready for your return?
2. Are we learning how to become close to you?
3. Are we encouraging each other with the word of God each day?
4. Are we keeping in touch with our brothers and sisters during their isolation, sickness, and despair?
5. Are we challenging ourselves to Love Like Jesus?
6. Are we side-tracked and focusing on people, places, and things that do NOT impact the kingdom work that we are called to do?
7. Do we love like you, Jesus? This is the screaming thought I wake up to each day when my eyes open.
   • Father, we, the church, are so disconnected from each other that we have forgotten our purpose.
   • We are looking to men to change the minds of people.
   • We are looking for laws to force people to serve and worship you.

1 Corinthians 15:52 explained:

• In a moment: Or point of time, which is very short indeed; what a moment is, according to the Jewish doctors, (See Gill on Matthew 4:8).

• In the twinkling of an eye; “these two the Jews not only put together as here but make one to be as the other; so they say F11, (Nye Prhk) (egrh) , “a moment is as the twinkling of an eye”. This phrase, as the twinkling of an eye, is frequently used in Jewish writings F12, to signify how speedily and suddenly anything is done, and which is the design of it here; and the apostle’s meaning is, that the change upon the bodies of living saints will be so quick, that it will be done in a trice before a man can shut his eyes and open them again; so that it will be as it were imperceptible and without the least sensation of pain; this may also be referred to the resurrection, which will be quick, and done at once; though it seems rather, and chiefly, to respect the change of the living; what follows, indeed, favours the other sense also; for all will be quick and sudden, the coming of Christ, the raising of the dead, and the change of the living:
• at the last trumpet, for the trumpet shall sound, “or “by the last trumpet”, as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it; that is, by means of it, through the sounding of that:
• and the dead shall be raised incorruptible; free from all frailty, mortality, and corruption, when the trumpet shall sound:
• and at the same time also,
• we shall be changed; the saints that will be found alive; the apostle speaks in the first person, because of the uncertainty of Christ’s coming, and of the blowing of the last trumpet, he not knowing but it might be in his time; what this last trumpet will be, is not easy to say; it can hardly be thought to be a material one: the Jews ^F13 have a notion, that a trumpet will be blown at the time of the resurrection of the dead, as at the giving of the law on Mount Sinai; which will quicken the dead, as they say it then did; and that this will be blown by Michael the archangel ^F14: it seems very likely to be the same with the shout, the voice of the archangel, and the trumpet of God, ( 1 Thessalonians 4:16 ) all which may be no other than the voice of Christ; at the hearing of which, the dead will rise; but whether this will be an articulate one, as at the raising of Lazarus, or is only expressive of his power, which will then be put forth, is not material, nor a point to be determined: and what if by all this should be meant some violent claps of thunder, as at Mount Sinai, which will shake the whole earth; and when almighty power will be put forth to raise the dead: since such are by the Jews ^F15 called the voices of the son of David, and are expected by them, a little before his coming? This is called the “last” trumpet, not so much with respect to those that go before, much less to the seven trumpets in the Revelations, of which as yet there was no revelation made, but because there will be none after it; see:

Father, I pray for the sick and infirmed that they will use every opportunity of the illness as a divine appointment. Whoever cares for them will hear of your mercy and grace from your children, Father.

I pray they will hear about our Good Father, who loves and wants the best for them. Also, they will hear about how He gave up His only precious Son so they could be part of his family. I pray that essential workers will come to know Jesus or be strengthened in their faith when they see your precious child afflicted by illness and glorify you in their affliction and healing. I pray for each prayer warrior and their active engagement in praying for the needs of others.. Lord, I know that it is an honor to be able to call upon your name on behalf of others. I do not take it lightly. Bless each person reading this post and cover them under the shadow of your mighty wings. In the patient and loving name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and healer, I pray, Amen.
