Everyone will awaken at the same moment that will feel instant and the world will be judged. Iirc scripture says the moment you die is the moment your with the lord iirc. This is what I base my opinion on. |

It will feel as if scarcely a second has gone by, from the moment of death to the resurrection. They have no conscious of the passing time. They sleep in the graves until Christ the Lord doth come. |

Quoting: DGenesis1:29 This entire passage, read in context, points to a time when we shall be absent from the body and present with the Lord. What time is it that Paul speaks of? When mortality is swallowed up of life. When does this happen? 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. At the resurrection is when we shall be absent from the body, and present with the LORD. Paul literally says in 1 Thessalonians... 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 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. So, when is the Christian absent from the body, and ever present with the LORD? At the very resurrection. For then will we be clothed upon with our house from heaven, then will have mortality have been swallowed up of life. The event horizon between jupiter and mars on the asteroid belt gives us our light in my humble opinion. It brings two universes together or two galaxies...I am not sure which as I am still seeking answer. But they converge to my understanding. |
