1 Corinthians 15:51-55 Commentary

 


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 55: O death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory? Hosea 13:14

Comments: 1 Corinthians 15:51-55 In this verse, the word sleep means to die. The bodies of Believers only sleep in death until the resurrection—their souls do not sleep 2 Corinthians 5:6-8. It is written that it is appointed to mortals once to die, and after that, the judgement Hebrew 9:27. There will be no extra chances via reincarnation. But wait, Paul wrote that we would not all die. This appears to be a brand-new revelation, something that had never been written before. Yet the preacher in Ecclesiastes wrote that there was nothing new under sun, and Isaiah wrote that there would be no new light Isaiah 8:19-20, that unless something had already been written, the writer of any so-called, new light had no light in them. Yet Peter compared Paul’s letters to scriptures 2 Peter 3:16, and Paul wrote in them, what appears to be new light. Paul was not given new light in the sense of things brand new that had never been written in the Law and the Prophets, which Jesus appealed to when he was tempted by Satan Matthew 4:4-10. Paul was given an abundance of revelation 2 Corinthians 12:7 into that which had already been written. The rapture? Enoch was not found. His mortality was changed to immortality. Enoch was caught up. Regarding the Body of Christ, Paul was given revelation into Enoch’s blessing, that his experience of not dying, that Enoch's experience of being caught up 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 would be ours as well.
