Verse

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, For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, — 1 Corinthians 15:51-53
