1 Corinthians 15:51-52 "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed--- [52] 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."
Again, in Romans 8:23, Paul refers to this event as the 'redemption of our bodies'. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
It will complete the transformation of the Bride
So that, body, soul, and spirit transformed,
Now she (the church) can, together with her beloved groom, be presented to the Father!
1 Thessalonians 5:23 "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Now some of the Biblical references to this coming contain an expression that seems a little strange at first. Go back to Philippians 3:20-21 where Paul says: "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."
Paul doesn't say that we are awaiting 'the Saviour' or 'our Saviour' (as you might expect) but that we are awaiting 'a Saviour' from heaven.
This suggests that Christ is coming to perform a work of salvation on our behalf.
He will have come to save us from something - or at least to complete the work of salvation he has already begun!
And this isn't the only reference to Christ returning to save us! Look at Hebrews 9:28, So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
1 Thessalonians 5:8-9 "But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Romans 8:23-24 " ......we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope, we were sav
