Zone1 If You Would Like To Understand the Resurrection of the Dead

God reveals it in the caterpillar!

It is appointed for all men, once to die, then the resurrection
And....
Except you be BORN AGAIN, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven

this perishable body must put on the imperishable

Another one of G-ds magical creations. It is amazing how colourful they are become too, at least the monarchy butterflies. So unafraid also. They will fly and land on your arm or hand, unlike any other type of bug.

It was partially understood as far back as Job:

All the days of my appointed time (life), I will wait until my CHANGE comes

This is understanding that has been lost to much of the Christian world

I like caterpillars, one of them mimics the scent of an ant and and when the ants find it they bring it to their colony and the ants feed it for two years, sometimes neglecting their own young, and then right before it becomes a moth it loses its scent and it has to escape the colony or be devoured.

The verse say unless you are born of water (baptism by water) and of the spirit (receive the gift of the Holy Ghost) you cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Paul saw three levels of heaven in First Corinthians chapter 15. The highest, Celestial Kingdom, is what the verse refers too the Kingdom of Heaven. Baptism isn't required for the two lower levels or kingdoms of heaven.

I looked at that as being born into the spiritual body.

I think it's in John, mentions death as shedding a husk like corn.

The doctrine of the resurrection was understood by some many years before Christ came to the earth:

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

These are things God gave us to understand what we must go through. Just as the baby in the womb cannot understand life beyond the womb, we must be BORN to experience life in its fullest.

Now we learn we can only experience our life to the fullest if we die first.
