But it appears
REV 20:5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were
completed...
There is one resurrection of believers at the beginning of the millennium, and
another at the end of the age. This may be those who were born and lived during
this time. So the work of Christ to save people from death and redeem people for
God's service continues even after His return.
V. THE "BODY" OF THE RESURRECTION
A. THE RESURRECTION BODY OF THE RIGHTEOUS WILL BE GLORIOUS...
1. Will be our physical bodies, but gloriously changed and
different!
1COR 15:42 It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; 43 it
is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised
in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is
a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
So the resurrected body is changed to become imperishable; it is glorified; it is
powerful; it is spiritual.
a. By the power of God
MAT 22:28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be?
For they all had married her. 29 But Jesus answered and said to them, You are
mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the
resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in
heaven.
These bodies are not created to reproduce children, because they will never die.
There is simply no need to create another generation.
Our physical bodies appear to serve as a pattern or kernel from which comes the
incorruptible and immortal bodies which we will inhabit.
1COR 15:35 But someone will say, How are the dead raised? And with what kind of
body do they come? 36 You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless
it dies; 37 and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a
bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
b. Our physical bodies...
1) Though sown in corruption, will be raised in incorruptible! 1COR 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body,
it is raised an imperishable body;
The corruptible flesh is planted in the earth, until it rises again from the ground
like a sprouting seed, but now it is incorruptible.
