In 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 Paul says "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." A parallel passage can be found in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 where Paul speaks on the rapture or (harpazo in the Greek) or being caught up to meet the Lord in the air... the context of this is that when this occurs the change will be as fast as a single buzz of a gnat or the quiver of a harp string even faster than the blink of an eye or even a twinkle. Our bodies will be changed when Yeshua comes for his bride.

When will believers receive resurrection bodies? Believers will receive resurrection bodies when they are resurrected at the return of the lord Jesus! 1 Thess:4:15-17: 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. 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 the anointed onet shall rise first: 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.
