"We shall ALL BE CHANGED, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye AT THE LAST
TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the DEAD shall be RAISED
194
INCORRUPTIBLE, and WE shall be CHANGED" 1 Corinthians 15: 52. If all the saved
are ALIVE in Abraham's bosom, who are the DEAD that shall be RAISED? The dead are
neither mortal nor immortal. Then if they are now living, what kind of being are they? "In
my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to
prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will
receive you unto myself that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:2-3). He has
not yet come to receive them. Where are those who have died unto Christ comes?
The two "all's." "We ALL shall be changed." Both ALL those who are asleep in Christ
and ALL those who are alive at the second coming will BOTH be changed. The immortal
soul doctrine says, "None of us shall sleep for this would be soul sleeping."
• In 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 Paul says nothing about a soul or spirit that needs no
resurrection or changes but is speaking of the changing of our body to a spiritual
body.
• "For in the resurrection they...are as the angels IN HEAVEN" [Matthew 22:30].
Angels are not in the image of Adam.
• "And as we have borne the image of the earthy (Adam), we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly (Christ)" [1 Corinthians 15:49].
• “Beloved, we are now children of God, and it is NOT YET MADE MANIFEST
WHAT WE SHALL BE. We know that, if he shall be manifested, WE SHALL BE
LIKE HIM; for we shall see him even as he is” [1 John 3:2].
• "For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Savior, the Lord
Jesus Christ: who shall FASHION ANEW the body of our humiliation, that it may
BE CONFORMED to the body of his glory” [Philippians 3:20-21 American
Standard Version].
o "CHANGE" King James Version
o "TRANSFORM" New American Standard Version
If the dead are now living in some kind of paradise somewhere, but not Heaven, Hell
or earth, why do they hope for a resurrection of the earthly body, and what good would it
be? "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye" [1 Corinthians 15:52] what would be the
reason for raising the natural body for such a short time? Will the soul come back from
Heaven to put the earthly body back on, only to put it off ("Be changed") in a moment all
before the judgment? See 1 Corinthians 15:50; 1 Thessalonians 5:15-17; Philippians
3:21). Then it would have the earthly body resurrected only for the "twinkling of an eye"
[1 Corinthians 15:52]. If the soul is living in heaven or hell, the resurrection of the body
for only a moment is all there could be to the resurrection, why have it; no part of a
person would be dead but his body; no part of a person could be raised from the dead but
his body. The only part of a person they believe will be in heaven or hell, the immaterial,
invisible soul, would be as alive as it will ever be and already be where they think it will
always be. Robert C. Welch says we will not come forth with the same kind of body,
which is planted. Florida College Lectures, Page 238, 1975.
WHAT KIND OF BODY WILL WE HAVE FOR ETERNITY? When we are caught
up to meet Christ in the air, will He bring us back to earth and have His kingdom of earth
where we will have an earthly body, or will we be with Him in Heaven and have a
spiritual body? If you believe on earth, an earthly body is a must, if you believe in
Heaven it cannot be an earthly body. WHERE WE WILL BE FOR ETERNITY WILL
DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF BODY WE WILL HAVE.

NOT ONE KIND OF BODY LIVING IN ANOTHER KIND OF BODY: 1
Corinthians 15:42 is a simple and undeniable statement that says that we do not now have
incorruption and immortality, and will not have them after death; we will not have put on
incorruption or immortality unto the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:54). No one knows
anything about what our spiritual body will be like, but it is not something we now have
inside this body of flesh, just waiting to get out at death. It will be a body, not just a thin
air nothing or some kind of ghost; therefore, it will have substance of some kind, but not
any kind of earthly substance, not flesh [1 John 3:2]. And not something that will fit
within this body and not be seen. NOT ONE KIND OF BODY, MADE WITH ONE
KIND OF SUBSTANCE, LIVING INSIDE ANOTHER KIND OF BODY THAT HAS
ANOTHER KIND OF SUBSTANCE. Likewise, Heaven is a place with substance (most
certainly far greater than this earth), and not just a cloud in the sky. This world and
universe are so complicated and large that there is much on this earth that man does not
yet know, and he does not yet even know the size of this creation (this universe). My
opinion is that it is small and insignificance in both size and splendor when compared to
Heaven, and this body is an insignificance seed, an acorn compared to a large oak tree [1
Corinthians 15:35-39], of the spiritual body we will have in Heaven. Seeds are unlike the
trees yet the same identity is in them; we cannot know what the characteristics of the
spiritual body will be by looking at our physical body. Will the lost have the same great
new and splendid spiritual body in Hell, which the saved in Heaven will have?
We cannot see God's greatest work (Heaven and spiritual beings) or know anything
about what they are like; therefore, this universe shows us only a small part of the power
of God. We each do different things in a day, not all the same things, or all think the same
thoughts. Today we do not do the same thing that we did the day before. While there will
not be days as we know them, Heaven will not be an eternity with everyone doing and
thinking the same thing, or all seeing the same thing with never any change. Heaven will
not be just a glorified earth, but we will each one be the same individual as we now are,
not just carbon copies of each other. Heaven will be great far beyond this earth or
anything that can come into our minds now, but many act in such a way that shows going
there is not the most important thing to them; and taking others to it is even less
important.
"I do not know what all we will be doing in heaven, but I do know we will not be
dormant and inactive" B. Reeves, Guardian of Truth, Page 8, 1996.
"What we will be has not yet been revealed, what we do know is this: when He is
revealed, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is" [1 John 3:2, New Revised
Standard Version]. I do not know how God made this world out of nothing, but He said
in His word that He did and I believe Him. I do not know how God can raise me with a
spiritual body without this earthly body and it still be me, but His word says He will and I
believe Him.
The resurrection will be from the DEAD, not from life. It shows we are now
MORTAL and will die, and we will be DEAD, not living with immortality before the
resurrection. It will be a bringing back to life those who are DEAD.
"BUT EACH IN HIS OWN ORDER" 1 Corinthians 15:23-38
"Christ the first-fruits"
1. "Then they that are Christ's AT HIS COMING."
The order of being raised from the dead is changed to:
