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?
