"A simple answer to my question, please"


 
John & Doves
 
Please read the following scripture; I have a question in regards to this.
 
1 Corinthians 15:50-55 (NKJV)
50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed - 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”
 
My question does not deal, what-so-ever with the trumps but with verse 55.  If Death no longer has a sting nor Hades has a victory, then how can this be a Rapture scripture since we are taught there are people who will be left during the Great Tribulation, who will die in Christ.  According to this scripture there is no more death with it's sting.    Do you see what I am saying?  This seems to be speaking of the Final Resurrection. 
 
Thanks,
