Bible Note: Greetings Warren F. Kenney, Welcome to StudyBibleForum.com! You stated, "i do believe that the souls will not go directly to heaven until he comes".. I am curious as to how you interpret Luke 23:43, in which Jesus says, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." Also, the Second Coming of Christ and the Resurrection of the Dead - some to life everlasting and some to eternal punishment (Daniel 12:2) - is a different subject altogether than what happens to a person's spirit at the time of death. At the Second Coming, it will involve a bodily resurrection (see Luke 24:39,42-43; Acts 1:4; John 2:19-21, 20:17; Matthew 28:9; 1 Cor. 15:35-44) where the spirit is reunited with the body. Blessings to you, Makarios |
