The return of Jesus and the resurrection of all will take place in a flash, not spread out over multiple days as stated in 1 Cor 15:51 "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed."
There was a reason that I highlighted the 1 Cor 15 text in red: in a flash and at the last trumpet.
I thought you knew what the last trumpet meant.
I will use scripture, Jesus' own words instead of your conjecture to show that this means, the coming of the Son of Man on the last day.
Mat 24:30 Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Further Jesus said the great tribulation will come before his coming in
Mat 24:21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until nowand never to be equaled again.
Here is the scripture that says the resurrection is on the last day.
John 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
John 6:40 For my Fathers will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
John 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.
John 6:54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
John 11:24 Martha answered, I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
John 12:48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.
There is only one last day. It is the destruction of this world. In the next age there will be a new world. It will be eternal. In fact there will not be any days or nights or even the sun to measure days. So the coming of Jesus will literally be the last day.
WHAT Happens in a flash? IT is Paul's rapture that happens in a flash. The dead are raised first, but one microsecond or so later, those alive and in Christ are changed. It may only take a picosecond for each event to happen. But you miss the details. Paul tells us HIS resurrection/rapture will come as the trigger for the Day of the Lord - NOT the coming of Christ on the white horse. Agaiin you will MISS the truth for preconceived glasses. Old testament verses along with John in chapter 6 shows us the SIGNS for the Day begin at chapter 6. John ends that chapter with: "The day of His wrath has come." John wrote it, but you don't believe it. The rapture is the TRIGGER for the signs: the great earthquake at the 6th seal will be caused by the dead in Christ rising. And that great earthquake is the first SIGN of the coming Day of the Lord. it will start SOON, not 7 years later.
