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.
So those alive at the last trumpet will be transformed after the dead are raised. There's nothing secret about that.
1 Thessalonians 4 KJV 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.
Same writer. We have a trump and some clarification; the dead in Christ. And, "caught up in the air" is not the same as standing on Mount Zion.
The body of Christ, the mind of Christ, Kings and Priests of God, the bride of Christ, the marriage supper of the Lamb, returning from Heaven with Christ, sitting in judgement, on thrones, at the Great White Throne, it's all there. Those who believe before they SEE are a very blessed people, to say the least.
Before Jesus Christ lived, died and rose again, salvation was based on faith and works (following the Commandments, sacrifices, etc.) Now it is based on faith alone, in the blood of Christ. Is this not a change in dispensation?
The so-called "Dispensation of Grace" started in Genesis.
Genesis 6:8
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
And salvation always came from Christ.
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
1 Timothy 2:1-6
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
And the commandments didn't go anywhere. Without the commandments, repentance and praying for forgiveness of sins would not be possible. We'd have no idea what sin is without them, because sin is transgression of the law.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

Exactly, and it all happens at the same time. It's a loud shout.
Not a secret whatsoever.
