1 | absent from the body | Rom 8:23 | Towanda | 147950 | ||
Hello, I really need clarification on this, I have read in the bible that it says to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord and on the other hand it says if when Jesus returns the dead in christ will rise first. If we are already there with the lord when we died then how come the died in christ will rise first? Please help |

2 | absent from the body | Rom 8:23 | terrib | 147953 | ||
Hi Towanda, The first part of your question has to do with the soul. Absent from the body, there is a separation of the soul from the body when we die. The body goes in the ground and the soul goes to God. 2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. The second part of your question has to do with the body. The dead in Christ (1 Th 4:16) is talking of the bodies of the believers that are in the ground that will be raised and glorified like Jesus' body was at his resurrection. 1 Th 4:13: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. The word "asleep" is a common term used for the dead. Compare, 1Ki 2:10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. terrib |
