BUT YOU CAN IMAGINE SONEONE DIES AND GOES STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN.
JESUS SAID THE DEAD IN CHRIST FIRST AND THEN THOSE WHO REMAIN,( AT THE TIME OF THE GREAT JUDGEMENT.) WILL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER.
NOW IF THEY ARE IN HEAVEN (IN CHRIST ALREADY) WHY ARE THEY RESURRECTED AT THE END OF TIME?
THIS IS A FAILIRE OF MANKIND TO:
1.BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, KNOWS ALL PEOPLE, AND HIS ABILITY TO RESITE ALL DETAILS OF OUR LIFE, AND COMFORT US IN SORROW OVER ANY LOVED ONE WHO DIED.
2. BELIEVE IN ANGELIC POWERS ASSISTING THE RESURRECTION.
3. THAT SOULS SLEEP IN THE GRAVE, TIL JESUS COMES.
[Think: why wasn't Lazarus in heaven already instead of the tomb Jesus raised him from?]
Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
1Th 4:16 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:
1Th 4:17 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.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
