With what body will they resurrect? 1 Cor. 15: 35-44:
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
44 it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
Do you suppose that an inventor, capable of inventing infinitely complex designs, like inventing your pet, or like inventing you, would be incapable to invent a mechanism to preserve your final consciousness and personality, and to translate it into the realm of His infinite love, or His infinite justice?
If you place a seed into the ground, the outer shell of it rots off, it “dies”, and what comes up does not resemble the seed you have planted at all. So much for vegetables and fruit.
But men are not vegetables or fruit. There is involved a powerful spiritual component in men, which does not die, a spiritual body, and also a future need for another physical body, for Gods physical (material) kingdom to be yet established within a redesigned material universe. This material universe will require a new material body. The spiritual body, reportedly, has no physical instrumentality, it cannot affect matter.
There are apparently two separate processes, a two-step program, involved in the actual resurrection of man.
In STEP ONE, there apparently is no waiting at all for the current physical body to disintegrate. It is considered totally dead and discarded at the instant of bodily death. At that moment a spiritual body, an actual body for which God also wrote its different supernatural DNA, will separate and become independent. Man’s spiritual body is said to be incapable of manipulating matter.
This spiritual body will come to reside in the abyss (the lost) or Abraham’s Bosom or paradise, until STEP TWO, when another, new, physical body (of unknown composition) is awarded at the time of Christs return or at final judgment, to everybody. This last step constitutes resurrection, for some to everlasting life, for others for everlasting perdition.
Compare 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Remember, NOT ANY ANGEL, but the Lord Jesus Christ himself will cause the rapture, the snatching away of the church, endowing them with a new physical body, as Christ rose with a physical body, before us. The voice of Christ will be like a TRUMPET SOUND – the rapture occurs at the end of Christs pronouncements, at the last trumpet sound of Christ; this is not be confused with the SEVENTH TRUMP, later in Revelations, where an ANGEL- not Christ Jesus - sounds a trumpet. For rapture the “LORD HIMSELFHALL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT”, not any angel. For rapture and resurrection no angel blowing a trumpet (seventh trump) is involved.
Mark 13:32. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. (For what it’s worth, in Israel, by custom, a betrothed (Bride) abode with her family, while the father of the groom prepared everything. Only when the father said it is time, then the son went to bring the bride).
The resurrected physical body will be able to manipulate matter. Consider that the whole creation of this universe involves physical matter.
There is no resurrection for hybrid GIANTS, the Nephilim, Raphalim, the children of demons fornicating human women, Check the scriptures. God has no resurrection for beasts. Only for humans, for men.
But there is one thing to be certain of. Something most especial is waiting for those who seek the infinite goodness of our Lord. God Himself said, that "The ear has not heard and no eye has ever seen, neither can man even imagine the HAPPINESS which God prepared for those who love him" (1 Cor. 2:9, paraphrased, if you please)!
Why not seek and choose the God who created all that is good, who loves you and suffered to forgive you, who even now holds out to you a final solution of indescribable beauty.
