So, you observe that it’s a God-sized job.

Now observe, also, that it is God who’s going to do it, and note that St. Paul already affirmed the instantaneous nature of the event:

Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all die, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the Last Trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and teh dead wiall be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
— I Cor. 15:51 & 52

I understand...

Maybe these passages make me think that our turn might take some time

1 Corinthians 15:23 But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.

1 Thessalonians 4:15 According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
