What is the
resurrection?
About the fate and the
destination of the dead there is much discord. But what can we
learn from the Bible?
Marvel not
at this: for the hour is coming,
in which
all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
And shall
come forth;
they that
have done good,
unto the
resurrection of life;
and they
that have done evil,
unto the
resurrection of damnation.
John
5:28+29
Does this mean that JEHWAH
is going to torture the wicked in purgatory, or for ever in hell?
This is also answered in the Bible.
For yet a
little while,
and the
wicked shall not be:
yea, thou
shalt diligently consider his place,
and it
shall not be.
But the
meek shall inherit the earth;
and shall
delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psalms
37:10+11
Watch the fate of the
wicked, first they get resurrected, then they are judged and
afterwards simply destroyed.

But how is that possible,
people that have perished for a long time, some of them even
burned, to give them a resurrection? The Bible answeres:
Are not two
sparrows sold for a farthing?
and one of
them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
But the
very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear ye not
therefore,
ye are of
more value than many sparrows.
Matthew
10:29-31
JEHWAH knows our DNA
perfectly, even our thoughts and he will recreate us perfectly (
only then in a perfect body ). The Bible explains:
JEHWAH
knoweth the thoughts of man,
that they
are vanity.
Psalms
94:11
The ultimate
proof for the resurrection is that Jesjoewa ( Jesus ) during his
life on Earth also resurrected dead people. A good example is
Lazarus, a good friend of Jesjoewa ( Jesus ) and a brother of
Martha. Lazarus was already dead for 4 days. I have typed some
verses out:
Jesjoewa (
Jesus ) saith unto her,
Thy brother
shall rise again.
Martha
saith unto him,
I know that
he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Jesjoewa
said unto her,
I am the
resurrection, and the life:
he that
believeth in me,
though he
were dead, yet shall he live;
John
11:23-25
Next Jesjoewa
( Jesus ) resurrects Lazarus, who was dead for 4 days ( John
11:43+44 ). So death in the Bible is compared with people that
sleep ( John 11:11 ), and not with people that were secretly in
heaven. For the rest the resurrection from the death ( which
Martha spoke about ) will take place when God's Kingdom rules on
Earth ( See: Thy Kingdom comes! ).

And many of
them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
some to
everlasting life,
and some to
shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniël
12:2
