Revelation 20:11-1511 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. KJV
This SECOND death is the death of a soul. Then you are no more ever again for ever. the FIRST death was when you died in this world and they buried your carcass in the grave―but as you can see, YOU continued on till Judgement Day, though you did not have a flesh body any longer. Did not Paul explain that we have TWO bodies?
1 Corinthians 15:42-5342 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It [flesh] is sown in corruption; it [our spirit from that flesh body] is raised in incorruption [a spiritual non-perishable body]:
43 It is sown in dishonour [our flesh bodies]; it is raised in glory [our spiritual bodies]: it is sown in weakness [frail flesh dies and rots]; it is raised in power [a spiritual non-perishable body (save for Judgement Day)] :
44 It is sown [into the grave] a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body [we arise back to God in our spiritual body]. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam [Mr. Adam from the Garden of Eden] was made a living soul; the last Adam [Jesus Christ] was made a quickening spirit.
46 [shifting focus now on to salvation] Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption [rotting flesh; morality not meant here] inherit incorruption [that non-perishable spiritual body that was placed into our mother's womb to be clothed with flesh].
51 [shifting focus now to those who are still alive at the Second Advent] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep [die a flesh death], but we shall all be changed [changed to our spiritual body (the flesh simply falling off to the ground)],
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump [that's the 2nd Advent, not any so-called Rapture]: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible [into their spiritual bodies], and we shall be changed [into our spiritual bodies (not having tasted of death)].
53 For this corruptible [flesh body] must put on incorruption [spiritual body], and this mortal [destined to die flesh body] must put on immortality[non-perishable spiritual body]. KJV
2 Corinthians 5:1-10
5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle [flesh body] were dissolved [died and rotted back to dust], we have a building of God, an house not made with hands [spiritual body], eternal in the heavens.
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle [flesh body] do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed [not seeking death], but clothed upon [with our non-perishable spiritual body], that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the [flesh body] body, we are absent from the Lord:
7(For we walk by faith, not by sight
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body [deceased from the face of the Earth, yet that body is still here on the earth], and to be present with the Lord. [in our spiritual body after we die]
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent , we may be accepted of him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. KJV
You can’t change this!
