Before Christ, the bodies of God's people went to the grave and their souls went to a waiting room, called Abraham's bosom. Even in soul form they were recognizable.
After Christ broke that barrier of death, the bodies of the dead in Christ go to the grave and their souls go straight to Heaven.
To be in Heaven is to be sin free. When you arrive in Heaven, you have your coronation. You are crowned. And the only judgment you receive is the Bema judgment. At that time your works are judged, not you sin. You have no sin. The works you did while here on earth that were done for Christ's sake will determine your status when you return to earth to reign with Christ after the Revelation.
We will rule and reign with Christ for 1,000 years over everything our father created, (which is why we receive multidimensional bodies) and over the remnants of humans that survived the tribulation period.
During that time Satan will be chained, BUT, Satan will be loosed after the 1,000 year period, and an other battle will take place. Christ will again be victorious, and this time a new chain of events take place.
Those souls that have been in the Hades since the time of Abraham's bosom, and those that have died since, without accepting Christ's gift of salvation, will be judged at the White Throne judgment.
Non-messianic Jews will be judged according to the 600+ rules laid out by God, through Moses. Those that had never heard the Gospel will be judged on how they lived their lives.
There is no mention of any of those judged at the White Throne judgment being reprieved. Satan will be thrown in the lake of fire at that time and for eternity. The earth will be renewed.
Heaven/ New Jerusalem will descend to earth and Christ will live with man forever in the newly created Garden, and will rule the universe from here. His family will be with him and will rule with him.
The universe is ours. All we have to do is accept Christ as our brother and his loving gift of eternal life with Him and our Father.
Not a bad deal when you consider we did nothing to deserve it.
Does AppleVacations book that trip?
My ashes are being spread at Sanford Stadium. I know that is real.
And then came the vacuums.
