For the contextual interpretation...at the return of Christ, the dead in Christ will be raised imperishable, their corruptible bodies being changed into incorruptible ones...and those who belong to Christ and are still living in their mortal bodies, will be glorified in those bodies, as they are changed from mortal ones to immortal ones. All His Saints are then caught up to meet with Him in the air, to welcome Him back, and will never be separated from Him again.
Two events... one being changed, and one being caught up, though they happen at the same time...in the blink of an eye. <!-- s
