Messiah Selections 47-51. (various voices) 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.

Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory.” …O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (First Corinthians 15:51-53, 54b-57)
