When does death get swallowed up in victory according to 1 Corinthians 15:54?
According to 1 Corinthians 15:54, death is swallowed up in victory when this corruptible has put on incorruption and this mortal has put on immortality. That occurs when the corruptible is raised incorruptible and the mortal puts on immortality, as Paul continues dealing with the corruptible and the incorruptible.
Les explains that Paul continues in 1 Corinthians 15 dealing with putting the corruptible in the grave and resurrecting the incorruptible. He reads verse 54: when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal—this body formed for death—has put on immortality, then the saying written is brought to pass: "Death is swallowed up in victory." The surrounding context also reminds that the rapture is not prophetically announced, its timing is unknown, and believers must be ready because they will leave seven years ahead of the final seven years and the Second Coming.
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.
