[quote][b]  The commentator has explained this verse as for when Christ appears he will change this vile body, and make it like unto his GLORIOUS BODY, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself. 
Do you not think that this part again talk about the second coming of Jesus (pbuh)--who will change the vile body and turn them all into righteous men of God and thereby completing his mission in the truest sense. The verses that have been quoted in the explanation also talk abou the second coming of Jesus or at least are presented to substantiate the belief in the second coming of Jesus. I quote these from the Bible:
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his conrol, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. (Phil. 3:20-21)
The above verse has an amazing link with the verse in question. What do you think is the connection between these two verses? [/b] 
<p align=justify> Thank you for helping me in identifying the link between the two. If we consider the text it does not singularly lead to the second coming. If we take help from the commentator Adam Clark then please see his commnent on phil 3:21:

<p align=justify> Verse 21.   Who shall change our vile body]  Who will refashion, or alter the fashion and condition of, the body of our humiliation; this body that is dead-adjudged to death because of sin, and must be putrefied, dissolved, and decomposed. 
 
<p align=justify> That it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body]  That it may bear a similar form to the body of his glory.  That is: the bodies of true believers shall be RAISED up at the GREAT DAY in the same likeness, immortality, and glory, of the glorified humanity of Jesus Christ; and be so thoroughly changed, as to be not only capable through their immortality of eternally existing, but also of the infinite spiritual enjoyments at the right hand of God.
