I know that we will have glorified, spiritual bodies, but what is a "spirit" body? Do beings who are 'spirits only' have physical bodies? Thanks!
Jesus' tomb is empty. He rose "bodily", as will we apparently
So will we, the saints in the age to come, not reside forever on the New Earth in our glorified/resurrection "physical" bodies, similar perhaps to the one that the Lord has?
Thanks again!

p.s. - can a "spirit" eat or drink?

Matthew 26
26 Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you;
28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.
29 “But 'I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

John Klein and Adam Spears have a book out about angels, both fallen angels and God's angels that is fascinating. It includes information about Nephilim also.
John and Adam have spend more than 25 years of evenings together searching scripture. There isn't too much about angels in scripture, that information is mostly in the apocrypha.
Angels fit into three main classes. Cherubim the highest who surround the throne of God. They have six wings and four faces. The bible names Mchael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. Two rebelled against God, Lucifer who claims to be a Cherub of Light and Abaddon now the Cherub of Death.
Seraphim are the middle order and are messengers of God going back and forth from earth to heaven. Jacob's ladder probably spoke of these.
The teraphim are the only angels who can take on human form.
When Lucifer rebelled he took 1/3 of the angels with him. These are devils. Demons are the disembodied souls of dead Nephilim.

Absolutely.
That saying of Jesus is greatly misunderstood and misapplied. Since all angels are masculine, the issue of the marriage of angels in Heaven is moot. Angels are ministering spirits and strictly act on the commands of God.
As applied to human beings, there will be no marriages in Heaven, since the Marriage of the Lamb will be the culmination of all marriages. In Heaven, redeemed human beings will resemble angels, since they too will have spiritual glorious immortal bodies which are free of human limitations.

Acts 2:17 'saith the Lord, ...your sons and daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions..'. I don't thing it's out of the ques to believe some of us have had a glimpse of heaven, after all we are getting closer and closer to Him. In her book she states there are things too Holy to tell but is always noting how things in her vision are beyond our comprehension.
