At the beginning of this verse there are three phrases which each begin
with EN. The first two seem to be taken as figurative pictures of the
brief time required for the transformation mentioned later in the
verse. The third EN phrase is taken as a time marker and not another
picture of brevity. Also, there is the seeming play on words with
SALPIGGI SALPISEI to point to a figurative use of SALPIGGI rather than
it referencing a specific trumpet in God's plan. Is there is a
theologically neutral reason for not considering all three phrases taken
together as making the same point in a very emphatic manner?
