So he
(Christ)
went and
preached to the spirits in
prison
...
~I Peter 3:19
When he ascended on high, he
took many captives
...
~Ephesians 4:8
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught
up to the
third heaven
.... And I know that this man—
whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know,
but God knows—was caught up to
paradise
and heard
inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.
~II Corinthians 12:2-4
“to be with Christ”
~Philippians 1:23
“Lord Jesus, receive

“fallen sleep”
“soul sleep”
When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw
under the altar the
souls of all who had
been martyred
for the word of God and for
being faithful in their testimony. They shouted
to the Lord and said, “O Sovereign Lord, holy
and true, how long before you judge the
people who belong to this world and avenge
our blood for what they have done to us?”
~Revelation 6:9-10
For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised
to life again, we also believe that when Jesus
returns,
God will bring back with him the
believers who have fallen asleep
.
We tell you
this directly from the Lord: We who are still living
when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of
those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself
will come down from heaven with a commanding
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trumpet call of God. First,
the Christians who
have died will rise from their graves
.
~I Thessalonians 4:14-16
“Human nature is deficient in a twofold manner: in
one way because it has not yet obtained its ultimate
perfection, and in a second way, because it has
already receded from its ultimate perfection.
Human nature is deficient in the first way in
children
, and in the second way in the
aged
. And
therefore in each of these,
human nature will be
brought back by the resurrection of the state of its
ultimate perfection
, which is the state of youth,
toward which the movement of growth is
terminated, and from which the movement of
degeneration begins”
~Thomas Aquinas
A.D. 1225-1274
“Marriage is for people here on earth. But in
the age to come, those worthy of being raised
from the dead
will neither marry nor be
given in marriage
. And they will never die
again. In this respect they will be like angels.
They are children of God and children of the
resurrection.”
~Luke 20:34-36
Then Jesus was approached by some
Sadducees—religious leaders who say there is
no resurrection from the dead...
