  • A. The living raptured the dead resurrected:

    1TH 4:14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

    ISA 26:19. Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

    1TH 4:15. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

    1TH 4:16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

    1TH 4:17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

    MAT 24:31. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

    1COR 15:51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

    1COR 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.

    JOB 19:25. For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

    JOB 19:26. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

    JOB 19:27. Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

    REV 20:6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

    1COR 15:53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

    1COR 15:54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

    2COR 5:1. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

    2COR 5:2. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

    2COR 5:3. If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

    2COR 5:4. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

    B. Our powerful immortal resurrection bodies:

    LUK 20:36. Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

    PHI 3:20. For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

    PHI 3:21. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

    1JO 3:2. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

    LUK 24:36. And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

    LUK 24:37. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

    LUK 24:38. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

    LUK 24:39. Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

    LUK 24:40. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

    JOH 20:19. Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

    JOH 20:26. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

    LUK 24:30. And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

    LUK 24:31. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

    LUK 24:42. And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

    LUK 24:43. And he took it, and did eat before them.

    ACT 10:40. Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

    ACT 10:41. Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

    1COR 6:14. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

    1COR 15:19. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

    1COR 15:20. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

    1COR 15:21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

    1COR 15:22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

    1COR 15:23. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

    1COR 15:24. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

    1COR 15:25. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

    1COR 15:26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

    1COR 15:27. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

    1COR 15:28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

    1COR 15:29. Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

    1COR 15:30. And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

    1COR 15:31. I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily.

    1COR 15:32. If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

    1COR 15:33. Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

    1COR 15:34. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

    1COR 15:35. But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

    1COR 15:36. Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

    1COR 15:37. And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

    1COR 15:38. But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

    1COR 15:39. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

    1COR 15:40. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

    1COR 15:41. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

    1COR 15:42. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

    1COR 15:43. It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

    1COR 15:44. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

    1COR 15:45. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

    1COR 15:46. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

    1COR 15:47. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

    1COR 15:48. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

    1COR 15:49. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

    1COR 15:50. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

    1COR 15:51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

    1COR 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.

    1COR 15:53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

    1COR 15:54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
