Bible Question:
and the dead in christ shall rise first -1 thess 4.16 dose this mean physical or spiritual |
Bible Answer: This means physical; the dead are already in heaven in spirit because II Corinthians 5:8 says, that Paul would rather be absent from the body and at home with Christ. What happens at the rapture is that the dead bodies will rise and be changed and reunited with the spirits of the saved who will be meeting them in the air with Christ. And then the live saints will be caught up into the air and changed as well. Try seeing the whole thing in context, see verses 15 and 17 to get the picture in full. |
