MZTV 1086: Our Last Conscious Act This Side of Immortality

I believe that the Concordant translation of 1 Corinthians 15:52, "in the twinkle of an eye"—describing our change from mortality to immortality—is probably the worst translation in the Concordant Literal New Testament, a version that, otherwise, I trust and admire very much.

"Twinkle of an eye" was uninspired, careless, and—frankly—lazy. Not only is this word "twinkle"—taken from the Greek "rhipe"—inconsistent with every rendering of its derivative verb ("rhipto"), but it even clashes with the very definition of "rhipe" offered in the Keyword Concordance in the back of the version.

Does anyone even know what a twinkle is? I mean, besides Tinkerbell?

In this video—digitized from a cassette tape audio recording of an address I gave in Grand Rapids, Michigan, back in 1996—I analyze every single occurrence of "rhipto" in its Scriptural context to show you that not only is "twinkle" ridiculous, it hides a startling truth concerning our snatching away that, really, you need to hear. What will be our last conscious act this side of immortality, immediately before the blessed event? Based on my original research into "rhipto," I believe I know the answer to that question.
