Ok, thank you for your imput. I offer, applying the method of approach right division, which is simply from a view of who we are in Christ according to the will & purpose of God as members of the one new man. We have an inheritance, we cannot function in that inheritance without a certain body. Paul explains this in the very chapter of the topic verse. Again, body types n the household of God are , flesh & blood, flesh & bone, glorified body. Christ shared in all types, this has to do with reconciling all things & to do with the term all in all, amongst other things.
45*And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.46*Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.47*The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
Last is often in connection to a pairing, first or second.
51*Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,52*In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.53*For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
13*But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.14*For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.15*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.16*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 Christ shall rise first:17*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.18*Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
I know people don't talk about this much. The appearing of Christ is different than the second coming.
