My mom just passed away a week ago and she was a Christian. So thankful to know she is with Jesus until his return to earth. Please Pray for me and my family because my mom was the glue that held our family together. I miss her so very much and it’s hard for me dealing with her absence from my life. Thanks for this video!!! God Bless you brother.
Im sorry for your loss. I couldnt imagine the feeling, if I try its hard to bare. Im sure Our Lord has strengthened you. Although I dont know where she is....suffering, and pain is definitely not something shes experiencing. Im sure she is at peace. God Bless.
@@ReMadeMind Thank You!!
I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm glad to hear she was a believer, though. Praying for you and your family
I’m sorry you lost your mom. We lost ours a little over a year ago. She was a Catholic but on her deathbed, she cried out to Jesus. Romans 10:13. I believe she is in heaven. (60s-early 70s rocker here 😊)
Her Spirit is with the Lord thats who we really are we use this body as we use a tent. When returns he will resurrect her body (That is the original body as God made first into a new glorified body to be joined to her spirit which it now is with out sin) You and her will spend an eternity together thanking and praising Jesus Christ for he has done.
I can't wait to meet the Lord. I just want to give him the biggest hug and say thank you and tell Him I love Him.
My mom passed away on 25th Sept. She made a triumphant entry to be with Lord Jesus n I am following her life foot steps. I have surrendered ny life to Lord Jesus..
When we die, our spirit goes to heaven & our body 'sleeps'. When Christ returns, He reunites our
Spirit with our glorified body.
And what about your soul?
But I don't want this body back cause it's like a 20 person used car🤪😁😇
That doesn't make sense to me :(
yup
Your body is your soul, you do not have an immortal soul if you had an everlasting soul you wouldn't be needing everlasting life which defeats the whole purpose of what Jesus taught. Original christians believe in ressurection not that they will go to heaven..that's why they bury their bodies instead of burning it.
Paul did not equate one thing withe other. It was his DESIRE. He knew he could not be with the Lord (Jesus) until the resurrection when everyone is brought back to life.
This man is a stick figure artist!! No but In all seriously this is a great video! God bless this ministry!
He earns a living as a painter. Takes no royalties on any of his books.
He is a very gifted artist.
BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE EVER FOUND. THANK YOU, BROTHER
"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" is a misquote. That is what we want it to say. So that is the way we always misquote it. If Paul had said, "It is better to be absent from Chicago and to be present in Hawaii." would you be telling people that he said "If you're not in Chicago you are in Hawaii"?
No, if he said "TO BE absent from Chicago, IS TO be present in Hawaii" then yes. You completely changing words. Your statement suggests a preference, as to Paul states a certainty.
@nobodymuch2 can you go read the scripture and give the accurate quote?
@@spencejoy 2 Corinthians 5:8
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.” Paul is clearly saying that upon death, we are immediately present with the Lord. For believers only.
@@henryrogers5500 It does not have to be immediate. That's not clear.
So, what did Paul mean, then? If you don't believe that we go to be with the Lord immediately when we die, then why did Jesus tell the thief next to Him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with Me in paradise." Also, King Saul used a witch to conjure Samuel from his rest(God's presence). Samuel told Saul, "tomarrow, you and your son will be with me." Also, Jesus told the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. It's the only parable that Jesus used a person's name so it actually took place sometime before. The rich man went into hades and Lazarus went to Abraham's bosom or God's presence upon their death. They didn't go to sleep. Then, there is the mount of transfiguration where Peter saw Jesus, Moses and Elijah talking together. They were not asleep they had been brought from God's presence. There are so many examples of believers going directly into God's presence upon our death. Thats what Paul meant. Absent from the body is present with the Lord. Simple.
Oh wow! Thank you so much! You explained that so well. Was so incredibly important for me to know that because my daddy who was a man of God just passed away.
This is why I don’t believe we go anywhere when we die. I believe death is like “sleep” (which is mentioned multiple times in the Bible) and if you understand sleep you understand that it’s like a split second to you. So when we die it’s as though we immediately wake up because we raise up. Wouldn’t make any sense to go to heaven when we die just to be resurrected back into our bodies. ALSO going to an eternal place when we die would suggest we’re immortal but as we know the Bible says we are not immortal and have to obtain eternity. Hope this makes sense 😌
Amen brother…that’s why it’s called a “near death experience” when people see things because technically you are not dead …even if you did die you still returned back to your body to tell about it ..let’s think on that for a bit and compare it to what you just said 🙏🏽
1 Peter 3:18-20 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19 in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, 20 because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water.
@daddytexan The spirit in Christ was God. Spirit of God don't die. Jesus died, not God in him. Very different from us. We are not God.
This makes perfect sense to me now thank you for that 🙏🏼☺️
Thanks .. I have been given multiple answers I just need the one true truth... Lately I was told
..we die we wait for rapture before going to heaven it's not either or yet unless you go to hell you will feel your death for eternity
.. I'm grateful for whatever God chooses ❤️❤️🙏🏽🦋🐝
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 , we sleep when we die. Why would we come down from heaven just to be pulled back to heaven right away?

The soul returnes
To God who gave it
Body sleeps
Good bible study sir.
Keep up the Spreading of the Gospel ✝️✌
Think about what you just said and tell me if that makes any sense whatsoever. If you soul is already with God after you die then why resurrect you.
@@southernfatboymusic6820 Actually, that's exactly what he said brother.
1. Body sleeps (dead)
2. Spirit returns to God's presence
3. When Jesus returns he'll bring back the spirits from heaven with him.
4. Bodies of the dead in Christ will be raised and merged with spirit in the air during the rapture in conjunction with the generation of Christians that never experience death (at the sound of the trumpet)
@@vicpiper3971 thank you perfectly
@@vicpiper3971ok so we die right? Our spirit goes to heaven right? But ofc our bodies stay here on earth so when Jesus comes back our bodies that we left behind will merge with our spirit that is in heaven correct?
Makes no sense...dead in Christ ..rise to meet in the air...you're already in "the air". Why be judged if you're already in heaven
Because we will be judged by what we have done with THE BODY (2 Co 5.10).
@@LeoSantosKJV just one if the mystery things in the bible..
Will u be judged by God as soon as you die as a saved christian?
Will the unsaved be pulled out of hell to be judged and then cast into the lake of fire?
Really makes no sense!!
Apostle Paul states we are present with the lord when we are absent from the flesh, so our spirit goes with Christ and on the day of judgement our spirit that is present with him which is called sleep resurrects with the flesh and that’s when the “dead in Christ”rise first and are judged from everything done in the flesh, and after those alive in Christ are called and so on and so forth.
This is the way that I have always believed. Brother James 🦉
Our Glorified bodies will never decay.
I am facing issues of missing her but I am getting stronger in Lord Jesus. He is strengthening me slowly because I know my inheritance in Christ Jesus is Secured..one day I will go n see her in Heaven.
That will be a weird time...the people left behind will be so confused or there will already be an “explanation” and they will think they somehow are safe because they didn’t disappear.....so strange
Unfortunately, I don't think many will be saved at the resurrection! I think there will be so few that not many will notice nor would it make the news!
How can this be explained
Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.a If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?b 3When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. 4And you know the way to where I am going.”
Thank you! Thank you! Thankyou! Oh my have we been needing that diagram on the chalk board! Bless you brother in Christ! Excellent!👍
A friend of mine was electrocuted when he was 3 or 4 and he said, he started floating up and threw the ceiling. He looked down and could see the roof of the house and he kept rising. He was resuscitated and that's all I remember. I think it may have been his first memory.
Does not make sense, either the dead sleep in the dust until Christ returns or are in Heaven immediately after death, if the latter; then no need for Christ to raise the dead at His second coming as they are already with Him, therefore i think the former stands to reason.
Your body is a part of you.You will use the glorified version to live on the new earth at the end of the final judgement.Heaven is not the final destination.there is going to be a new heaven and a new earth.
Our body is in the grave. Part of us is also in there asleep to the physical world until the resurection and judgement day. Yet, we are also consciously aware at the same time with God in either Paradise or Hades until the judgement seat judgements and the white throne judgements.
Amen! Very well explained, I too needed that understanding, may the Lord continue to bless you and your ministry!
That was explicit answer.
When we die our spirits go to be with the Lord. Now those dead and present with the Lord are disembodied spirits (without a body)
In rapture what will happen is that those disembodied spirits will come with Jesus and take their spirits and be transformed.
Those who are still alive when Christ comes will also be caught and be transformed.
I feel more confused than I did before watching your video.
My Mom, who "was" a Christian woman that lived the example of Jesus, just passed on the 1st of this month.
I have NO DOUBT that she is with Jesus now.
The verses that talk about the dead in Christ
being "asleep" or whatever, make me confused because my feeble understanding of a Christian life after death is FULL!
My siblings and family have been taking this one day at a time. My Mom was LITERALLY the backbone of our family and it's still currently unimaginable to have to live here without her.
I will continue to wait until it's my time to pass and until then, I will praise God for my loved ones in heaven.
Thank you so much for clarifying this. This is one thing that I have been struggling with my soulmate passed away, and I always felt like
His spirit was with God but so many teachers say the dead in Christ know nothing better understand now what Paul was talking about. Thank you so much.
Dust you are and to dust you will return. (God). When you die, you go back to the ground.The soul (nephesh) is the Person/life in the OT. It dies. Ezek 18 :4.
After death, then comes judgement ( Hebrews 9:27). Our souls are alive in spirit after we die, ( 1 Peter 4:6, Revelation 6:9, 2 Kings 13:21, Matthew 17:1,2.). Peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is True food and Blood True drink
well said. in the domension of souls, when will be like angels, time as measure unit will not exist anymore so we will go direct to judgement next moment. even if will be after thousands of years in our phisical body dimension, for the souls judgement will be nest second after death and then for eachone heaven or hell forever.
Thanks for the verification..I was so confused. God bless
Paul said, I would RATHER be absent from the body and present with the lord. That doesn't mean that he would be immediately present with the lord.
Yes it does
No. It doesn't.@@chadrasmussen6127
The spirit is the breath of Life. That is what is returned to the Lord.
That's what I thought. I am so confused. People are all saying different things
yep he made man of the clay and man was nothing until the breath of life
Your video message blessed me indeed. Thank you for doing this great job.
"And God formed man out of the dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life and man came to be a living soul." Gen - 2 : 7 Man became a living soul after
the breath of life was blown into the dust of the ground: The body + the breath of life is a living soul or a person: So when we die the "living soul" ceases to exist: The soul is not
immortal. When we die the living soul ( which is us the person, dies). Eze - 18 : 4. While you may want it to be so; Paul was talking about a whole other thing, he was not
supporting an immortal soul,
So which is it? Do we die leave our bodies and go be with Christ or are we dead in sleep waiting for Christ to call us up?
So much wrong with this teaching, but let's start with the misquoting then application of the 2 Cor 5:8 verse that does NOT say to be absent from the body IS TO BE present with Christ! That's not just taken out of context, but it is a misquote. Paul is discussing that he would rather be absent from the body AND with Christ than to remain in this corruptible body. It is not an either/or statement. Paul's constant message and emphasis was completely on his favorite topic: the Resurrection because he knew that was when he would put on the incorruptible and be with Christ, finally!
How wonderful Chirst coming will be for all who believe...it really puts our life in prospective...a short time here on earth...after his coming an eternity with Chirst...right now christians are living on earth with Chirst in there hearts or dead in Chirst and there souls are with him.
The illusion of time is a physical representation. We think of time as having a beginning and an end. Time (phycically) grows from seconds to minutes to hours to days to weeks to months to years to decades to centuries etc etc etc. Spiritually, time is eternal. It's always forever and forever in energy alternating and generating His Power.
The temporary physical embodiment is a domain for discovering the wonderful manifestations of the Love of and from God allowing the physical and spiritual to touch and be touched in the ways of kindness one to another. GLORY BE !
@:36, Paul did NOT say, "To be absent from the body, "IS" to be present with the Lord." Better re-read 2 Corinthians 5:8. Here's what Paul wrote. 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, "and" to be present with the Lord. If Paul had included an action verb such as the "IS" that SO many people keep misquoting and not reading correctly? It WOULD make a difference. The saddest part is that you have a BIBLE right in front of YOU. "IS" is nowhere in that entire scriptural verse.
Actually, 2 Corinthians 5:8 doesn't say "...to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."
It says: "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
That means he would RATHER be (or WISHES he was) absent from the body and present with the Lord.
It doesn't mean that happens immediately after death.
But I understand the confusion as I myself had been misguided for many years.
John 11:24 says:
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the LAST day.
And 1 Thes. 4:16-17 reads:
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:
(When... according to John 11:24? Right, at the LAST day. [All-caps are just for emphasis since I can't bold or italisize.])
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.
Acts 24:15 reads:
And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
(Notice there will be "a" [one] resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust).
Finally, Genesis 2:7 reads:
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man BECAME a living soul."
Man was not "given" a soul. He "became" a living soul when God breathed the breath of life into his nostrils.
We don't "have" a soul. We "are" living souls. When we die, we sleep until the Lord returns.
Jesus said of the Jairus' daughter that she was "asleep" in Mark 5:39. Same thing of Lazarus in John 11:11.
I hope this helps and blesses someone. Or that it at least ignites a desire for deeper study of this subject before dismissing it as erroneous. 😊
Sorry this is a little confusing. Are you saying that our resurrected bodies will meet our spirits whilst being caught up in the clouds at the second coming?
Thanks you very much pastor
I am confused, 2 Corithians 5:6 " Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home In the body, we are absent from The Lord:" then 2 Coerinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body , and to be present with the Lord. Where does he say " to be absent from the body IS to be present with the Lord"? Is he not talking about about our carnal nature blocking our connection with our LORD?

Totally Confused.
We enter our dreams
Now I understand it . Thank you
RATHER meaning prefer to be absent from the body and present with the lord we will all sleep until the coming of Christ no conscious just sleep we will not be with the Lord until we are judged
This is actually false doctrine. Paul never said that at all. He was simply making a point about how good it is to be in the Lord. But according to Scripture, man does not "have" a soul. He *is* a soul. Anyone who knows the original Hebrew understands this. I'm surprised how many "teachers" get this wrong. I urge everyone to read their Bibles to see what it actually says instead of taking these guy's' words for it. They'll take a verse or 2, paint a certain picture with it, when in the larger context they're actually saying something different, as is the rest of the Bible. Also the "Spirit" is literally just the breath of God that makes man a "living soul". It essentially just means that you're dying. Your "soul" or "spirit" is not going ANYWHERE. You are dead, and that is the end of it until judgement day. It's symbolic language being used here, why are Christian teachers confused by this?
So many scriptures relating to this subject are disregarded with this doctrine. John 5:28,29. My question is what is the Great White Throne judgement for if everyone's already been judged and sent to their eternal destination?
The Lake of fire is the eternal destination for those without Christ.The new heaven and the new earth is the eternal destination for those in Christ.Heaven and hell are reception areas until the final judgement.
To Paul, dieing was like sleeping and wake up in the next morning presence of the lord. When you die, you are unconscious and unaware of time passing because you don't exist during that time. The day you are resurrected you will feel as if you slept for a short time. Otherwise staying alive after death in the presence of Christ compromises time you stay and resurrection process will messed up. No one can be resurrected if he/she is still alive. Resurrection is for the dead and not the living dead.
Genesis 2:7 says, "Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul." My understanding is, based on this passage that our physical body plus our spirit (i.e. the breath of God) makes up a soul.
Am I incorrect?
RU WACH is used 377 times in the Bible ...
117 times as wind or air
33 times as breath
227 times as spirit
The Bible actually says, “To be absent from the body AND to be present with the Lord.” Please state the scripture correctly.
To be absent from the body AND to be present w the LORD.
A small point but can change the meaning you perspective.
AND to be present… could be about the coming bodily resurrection.
So why do people who say they have visions of God saw people in heaven/hell?
Thank You for this video!!
Wow thank you and God Bless
People who think Heaven is the goal: The new earth, new Eden is the goal. Heaven is the realm of God. He wants to save his people and the world. Jesus said flesh and blood doesnt abide in Heaven. He's coming to remake the world.
God explaination ❤️
Bless
God s Word is health to the flesh and Everlasting. Blueprint recipe prescription for salvation John15:5🔥🔥😇
Thanx and blessings Micheal Jesus is the way the life the truth The only way we get to the father is thru death accept Christ as our Savior Keep praying and Knocking children 😇💕
Spot on.
John's phone . I am ms. Dawn SMITH & I wanted to express my gratitude for your endearing & humerus nature
thank you
Awesome explanation!
If I understand correctly from this sermon, our spirit will be with Christ and in the day of the Lord we will be given a new body, and this body will then be merged with our Spirit in the heaven? So we become complete human again with body and spirit
I know where I am going , somewhere many cannot go ,
Masterful teaching and illustration!
✝️🕊🙏
You do a good work brother. I love to hear your teaching on the word
Good presentation
Now what happens to the unrighteous right after death until the second coming?
Wen we die as a righteous man our souls goes to heaven awaiting the second coming of Jesus Christ and wen we die as sinners our souls goes to hell awaiting judgement then after that, hell will be thrown into the lake of fire
I believe we go to be straight with Jesus after we die. I believe Jesus Christ is Lord I believe Jesus is the son of God.
when u die your asleep until Rapture.
This is false/wrong interpretation of the scriptures and should not be tough. Why lead people astray with wrong doctrine. You will be held responsible for leading his flock astray. Not every man is ordained to preach/teach Gods words. Also not my place as well. So I’m not preaching to anyone. The Bible interprets itself if the father gives you understanding. God breath into man the BREATH of life and Man became a Living Soul. The Spirit of God is in my nostrils. When the breath is taken away you die/ sleep and man returns to the ground until the resurrection. There is no such thing as your soul in heaven when you die. God did not breath the breath of life into you then put a soul after. There are way more to this in the Bible but ask for understanding and the father will give you understand or will lead you to his shepherd that will lead you the right way. Praises to the Most High
The Bible stated that the died know nothing and when u die the Spirit does go back to God but it about the breath of life meaning he gave us life and when we die he gets it back but our souls which are not immortal which not verse in the Bible states that are sleep until judgement day u either will be destroyed or be in heaven could what the purpose of having people burning in hell forever that would mean they are still alive and sin still exist and the universe and must be destroyed in front of everyone who ever lived to God can show his mercy ...and yes the Bible does talk about how people burn in every lasting fire that doesn’t go out day or night but it talking about the end of existence where we are well should be highly thankful for existing that the biggest blessing but the reason y the Bible talk about hell I’m that way is because people that are not going are going to be the worse pain they will every feel knowing they won’t go see God and his creation ....and missing out because of choices sometimes we all make
The .most misquoted verse in the Bible is 2nd Corinthians 5:8. KJV, We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Yet 99% of people quote that verse by saying to be absent from the body "is" to be present with the Lord.
Making it an either/or statement.
Thank God! 😁
But most peoples dead bodies will have rotted away turned to dust or had been cremated so there is no body in the ground so some of what he said dont make sense to me.
Co_15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. We will die in the natural body. We will receive a spiritual body when Christ returns. We will be raised into a spiritual body. We do not now have a spiritual body.
Well said thank you!🤗
So our dead bodies will rise up and reunite with our souls? Is that what you’re saying?
Depends on translation our soul is our body and consciousness
Why aren't these questions being answered?

ONCE WE DIE THE SPIRIT LEAVES THE BODY WHAT IS THE SPIRIT MADE OF GAS , ENERGY , AIR . PROTONS AND WILL WE BE ABLE TO TRACK THE SPIRIT WITH SUPER COMPUTERS ALSO WHY DO WE HAVE A SPIRIT AND A SOUL I CANT EVEN FIND ONE OF THEM
The book of acts and stephen.
why not just say "dead" does not mean "cease to be" it really means life somewhere else. How can you define death with life?
1 Thessolonians speaks of the Rapture, not the second coming
I see it a different way. This video assumes there are only 2 places you can be, the earth and heaven. The Hebrews actually believed there were 3 places you could be. The earth, sheol/the grave, and heaven. That is why Psalm 139:8 says: If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. That is also why Saul had to awake the resting Samuel to ask for advice. He was asleep in Sheol waiting resurrection. So the bible says, even if you rest in sheol while you await the resurrection, God is there with you, even though the new Kingdom has not yet come. God can be in all 3 at the same time actually in the same way He can hear everyones prayers at the same time. God is not confined to one time or place. I think he simply means the quicker He does his job on earth, the quicker He can live with God in the new kingdom. I would imagine the grave rest the bible speaks of is like our human rest, in that it goes by very quickly.
“Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living one. I was dead, and see, I am alive forever and ever; and I have the keys of Death and of Hades” (Revelation 1:17-18). Christ took care of that at the Cross. Before Christ saints would go to Sheol or Hades wich was devided between the rightous and unrightous.
May the father bless you , I love this ministry but to be honest , this question was not answered just stated 2 verses and it’s meaning but didn’t answer the context of the question?
To me it’s really common since the body dies the spirit goes to be with god the souls sleeps till god calls it home cuz it has to be judged for its works it says that in the Bible god comes back to get the soul the soul has to be judged that’s why he comes back to get it not the physical body the spirit goes to god that’s the breath of life that god gives to you I hope this clears up any confusion
What happens if you have been cremated?
Jesus is coming back with his angels - human souls aren't angels.
I disagree. Just because Paul said to be absent from the body is to be present price doesn't mean that's how it is. It was his belief. The same way that many people believe and teach that we sleep in our Graves until he calls for us.
"There are none in heaven or hell until the day of judgement." Is what I have come to understand.
But that being said, how is that man in hell begging for a drop of water on his tongue?
I honestly think it boils down to a mistranslation of original text. I think there is something along the lines that got mixed up. Justin back my theory of mistranslation I'm going to offer you the example of the Commandment Thou shalt not kill. The original word meant not to murder an innocent person. There's a difference between murder and killing. When translated it was just generalized as Thou shalt not kill.
If there could be a situation like that with translation with that one word, im sure there are others.
Here's another thought, what if it's both? Time is a man-made construct. So what if time between our deaths and our resurrection to be with Christ passes for us an instant?
I have pondered the last paragraph as well. And some of the other concepts you mention.
Great thinking. I believe the most important thing for us is to follow Christ's teaching, the best we can. Our time is coming soon. None of us are perfect, yet we must strive to be now, the way we would like to be in heaven, for us, and our neighbor also.
John 3:13
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven-the Son of Man.
A Christian who knows better than the Apostle Paul.wow.If Paul's statement in scripture is just his belief then who are you even to comment.What are your contributions to Christianity that you should even have a mouth to talk. Let us never think more highly of ourselves than we ought to.Another one of Paul's beliefs is to think soberly.
Paul never called brothers christians, romans did.
Towards the end of the presentation you mentioned the second coming of Christ, well the second coming is not the same as the rapture of the church, so your making two different events as one.
The Rapture of the church and the second coming of Christ. You say that our souls are asleep in heaven and then he brings us down at the rapture of the church? Confused.
Way too rushed.... I think i am confused 🤷♂️ now.
I knew it was going to go downhill when we were at the five minute mark of a six minute video, and we really haven’t got to the subject has a question.
Amen❤
2 Corinthians 5:8 is one of the most misquoted verses in the Bible. It doesn't say to be absent from the body "is to be" present with the Lord, rather it says "prefer rather" or "willing rather" to be present with the Lord which is referring to Paul having the desire and preferring to be with the Lord. The word that we translate to "rather" come from the Greek word "mallon". According to Strong's Greek concordance, from the context and grammatical usage of the word in this verse it is used as "preference or to prefer".
What about the dead whose bodies were destroyed? Or after the bodies decay and turn back to dust do they just reassemble?
You will get a new glorified body!
Is raprture before the second coming of Christ and whether Jesus knows when the rapture would take place or only father God knows the day and hour?
Thank you for your question! Mike has a series on the rapture that you might find helpful. czcams.com/video/ii4vSml8mxY/video.html and many more available at czcams.com/channels/5wl-5XZhI3ZQPf5KyW0aBw.html
the bible makes it clear the body is nothing but dust, dust dont sleep your soul does, god receives your soul which makes them present with the lord.. to be present with some one does not mean aware or conscious... it is appointed for man to die once then the judgment , how many judgments are their, one time on judgment day one for all, or is judgment happening every time a person dies, every second ? ... one time! the next aware moment for the deceased will be on that great day resurrected to eternal life or resurrected to the second death....
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!
John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
