In The Twinkling of an Eye
According to Saint Paul, in his letter to the people of Corinth, he spoke these words:
"We shall all be changed, in the last moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet," ~ 1st Corinthians 15, verse 52 (New King James Version of The Bible).
This idiom is of Hebrew origin. Using this particular phrase basically implies that something happens in rapid succession, in very fast terms, faster than the blink of an eye.
