What must this corruptible and mortal body put on according to 1 Corinthians 15:53?
According to 1 Corinthians 15:53, this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal body, which is prone to death, must put on immortality. This transformation changes the body from corruption to incorruption, losing the flesh-and-blood concept and becoming flesh and bone activated by the Spirit.
Les explains that 1 Corinthians 15:53 follows the revelation of verse 52: the change happens in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. When the trumpet sounds, the dead are raised incorruptible, and those alive and remaining are changed from this body of corruption to a body of incorruption in a split second. The corruptible puts on incorruption, and the mortal body prone to death puts on immortality. It must lose the flesh-and-blood concept and become flesh and bone, activated by the Spirit. Les also contrasts this event with the Second Coming to the Mount of Olives, which has prophetic events leading up to it, whereas this change has no prophetic sign indicating its day or year.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
