Job 14:12 (King James Version)

12So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

Will those who sleep in Jesus be risen after the heavens (?) are destroyed (?) ?

But the dead elect will be with Christ before the elect who remain on earth .. right?

how can people remain on earth while (?) the heavens are destroyed (?) ?


I might not be very clear..



Job 14:21 (King James Version)

21His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.

So do the dead not know what happens to their children?
what does this verse mean?

(it's easier for me)

I will try to summarize what I read before: when all elements are being destroyed God will give the living and the resurrected a transformed, perfect body that is not flesh like we know it, but suitable for eternity

those living in faith and good deeds will be lifted to meet the Lord with the saints and martyrs who were in paradise and the heavenly angels, that is before the dead will be risen

after the Lord raises the dead comes the Lord's Judgement during which the faithful with good deeds will go to enjoy the Kingdom to be with the Lord, and all the evil will be cast out in fire

I hope it is helpful

so i have a question bout the judgement day... abouna said once to us in a bible study that once the person dies, he/she knows where they are going, whether its heaven or hell... if they are going to heaven (like anba bola, papa kyrillos, etc..) they go to the third heaven, but they don't see the paradise yet. but the people that are going to hell, they go to hell right away, and they are thrown in the fire right away...
so what's gonna happen on judgement day if everyone knows already?? may be it will be something new for the people that will still be living when Jesus comes... but what about the people that died already???

also, i know that everyone will take a new body at the resurection so we can be in the persence of god and be able to bare this glory, also the people that are going to hell will take a new body that will not vanish after a day or two in the fire??? did the saints take this new body already since they are with god?? did the people that went to hell take a new body already???

ANY ANSWERS would be very nice!!
thanks
