“Behold, I show 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 trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and _the dead shall be raised incorruptible_.” 1 Cor. 15:51, 52. 14. What great change will then take place in their bodies? “So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is _sown in corruption_; it is _raised in incorruption_: it is _sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory_: it is _sown in weakness_; it is _raised in power_: it is _sown a natural body_; it is _raised a spiritual body_.” Verses 42-44. 15. What saying will then be brought to pass? “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” Verse 55. 16. When did David say he would be satisfied? “As for me, I will behold Thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, _when I awake, with Thy likeness_.” Ps. 17:15. 17. What comforting promise has God made concerning the sleeping saints? “I will _ransom them from the power of the grave_; I will _redeem them from death_: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction.” Hosea 13:14. 18. What else has He promised to do? “And God _shall wipe away all tears_ from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Rev. 21:4. See pages 759-785. [Illustration.] The Deluge. "And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away." Matt. 24:39. The World’s Conversion [Illustration.] After The Flood. "Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." 2 Tim. 3:13. 1. What did Christ say would be the condition of the world at His second coming? “_As it was in the days of Noe_, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” Luke 17:26. See also verses 27-30. 2. How was it in the days of Noah? “And God saw that _the wickedness of man was great in the earth_, and that _every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually_.... And _the earth was filled with violence_.” Gen. 6:5-11. NOTE.—In a sermon delivered at Savannah, Ga., Dec. 2 1912, Bishop A. W. Wilson (Methodist) said: “Old Rome in her worst days never harbored such conditions of vice as are prevalent in our highest social circles. Never at any period of the world’s history has the moral stratum been so thin or so low.” 3. How did Paul characterize the last days? “This know also, that in the last days _perilous times shall come_.” 2 Tim. 3:1. 4. What did he say would make those times perilous?
