(19) TRANSLATED / RESURRECTED

TRANSLATE: To change from one place, state or form to another. To convey to heaven without death. To change from one language to another./ RESURRECT: To raise from the dead to life./ (Heb.11:5)-By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death./ He was translated. (2 Kings 2:11)- Suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two (Elijah & Elisha) of them and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven./ (Deut.34:1-7)- It is not generally believed, but I believe that Moses was translated so that he did not die physically. (Dict.: Died- To cease existing) He did cease existing in his physical body. God buried him. (Buried- Dict.: Conceal, Hide). Since Moses appeared with Elijah at the Transfiguration and both of them had their eternal bodies (There is no intermediate body), and Moses could not have died and been resurrected because Jesus is the firstfruits of the resurrection, not Moses. So, Moses was translated and did not die. There were several people that had died and brought back to life by Jesus and the apostles, but they were restored to their same physical body and would die again. (Col.1:18)- Jesus is the firstborn from the dead./ (This is when Jesus became God's only begotten Son. Spiritually He always was, but now physically too.) When we become christians, we are translated into the kingdom of His dear Son, spiritually. We are then sons of God spiritually and at our resurrection we will be sons of God physically too. Those who are living at the resurrection will be translated so that they don't see death. When Jesus died on the cross (Matt.27:50-53), there was an earthquake and the graves were opened and many saints arose, but came out oftheir graves after Jesus resurrection, went into the city and appeared to many./ Since they arose before Jesus did, they had their bodies of flesh and would die again. We who die and then are raised at the Rapture will be raised in our eternal body and so won't need to be translated. (1 Cor,15:42)- We are sown in corruption and raised in incorruption. There will be a resurrection of the martyrs at the end of the 7 years Tribulation, and if there are saved that weren't martyred, they will be translated. There will be a remnant who are saved out of the Tribulation, in their bodies of flesh to repopulate the earth; when we help Jesus to reign. -(Zech. 14:3-21), (Isiah 11:4-13). During Jesus millenial reign, people will live longer. Some will obey the Lord because they love Him, others because of fear of the consequences. At the White Throne Judgement the dead will be raised from Hell. The living and resurrected will be separated right and left. The saved will get their eternal bodies. The lost will be left on earth while Jesus takes the saved, with us, to heaven. Jesus will remodel the earth, first making it a 'Lake of Fire'. -(2 Pet.3:10) This will be the end of people being resurrected and translated. No more people. WHADDA YA THINK ? Con
