This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In a moment (en atomōi). Old word, from a privative and temnō, to cut, indivisible: Scientific word for atom which was considered indivisible, but that was before the day of electrons and protons. Only here in N.T.
In the twinkling of an eye (en ripēi ophthalmou). Old word ripē from riptō, to throw. Only here in N.T. Used by the Greeks for the flapping of a wing, the buzz of a gnat, the quivering of a harp, the twinkling of a star.
At the last trump (en tēi eschatēi salpiggi). Symbolical, of course. See 1Th 4:16; note on Mat 24:31.
