1 Cor 15:51-54
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
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.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
(KJV)
What major event brethren do you see there that Apostle Paul was talking about happenning on that "last trump"?
ANSWER: it's that part of -- "... for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
Does that align with what Paul showed the timing will be in the 1 Thess.4 Scripture? Let's see...
1Thes 4:13-17
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
(KJV)
That is the SAME idea Paul stated in the 1 Cor.15 verses. That "trump of God" is that same "trumpet" of 1 Cor.15:52. The "dead in Christ shall rise first" is the SAME idea as the "dead shall be raised incorruptible" in the 1 Cor.15:52 verse also. And those who remain being "caught up" idea of that 1 Thess.4:17 verse is the SAME idea as the "we shall be changed" in 1 Cor.15:52 also.
Here, I'll make it even easier to see:
1 Cor.15 1 Thess.4
"last trump"; "trumpet"--------------------------"trump of God"
"the dead shall be raised incorruptible"----------"the dead in Christ shall rise first"
"and we shall be changed"-----------------------"we which are alive and remain shall be caught up"
Now in comparison to the Revelation 11 chapter's 7th Trumpet event:
Rev 11:13-15
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.
(KJV)
Apostle Paul gave us TWO Scripture examples of the resurrection that happens on the day of Christ's coming associated with the sound of the trumpet (or trump). A trump is still... a trumpet, it's just a shortened word for it. The only difference is that 'trump' (4536) in the Greek is used for a literal trumpet instrument, and 'trumpet' (4537) is Greek for the sounding of a trumpet (1 Cor.15:52).
So, did our Lord Jesus really... need to explain Paul's teaching again in Rev.11 of what happens on that day when the trumpet sounds? Of course not, because Paul already gave us TWO examples, and that's just in the New Testament Scripture. If you want to know in the Old Testament where Apostle Paul taught this see Isaiah 18:3-7; Isaiah 27:13; Zech.9:14-17; Ps.47:5-9, and more NT: Matt.24:31.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
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.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
