How Fast is That?

‘Let’s go get popcorn.’

The crowd leaves a show during intermission giving time for a stage crew to change sets behind the curtain. Privately, performers quickly change their costumes and prepare for the next act. Quick changes might be an asset in everyday life.

I’ve been in cold doctor’s offices; perched on the end of an examination table and wearing nothing but one of those open back gowns. The faster I can get out of the revealing gown and back into my regular outfit the better.

I anticipate a promised change.

“Behold, I am telling you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will 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 imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written: ‘Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?’ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Apostle Paul said the promised change will take only a moment; the amount of time to see the twinkling in some ones eye.

Now, how fast is that? A real quick change!
