I believe that the comma at the end of verse 51 and the colon in the middle of verse 52 point out that the twinkling is connected with the change, both of the dead and of the living. Also note that the term "catching away" or "caught up" is not in this passage. "the dead shall be raised" does not describe a rapture exactly, but a resurrection. This is not to say that the two aren't linked, only that the idea is not shown here.
