Today, I continue focus on the second resurrection, and what happens to the bodies used by those raised for judgment (below). I present only a BATTLE AXE, followed by a GOLDEN ARROW.
THE BATTLE AXE: Destroying the Resurrected Body? (02/10/2014)—(5.) Despite that they have also been forgiven, the unjust and the wicked will not meet the Lord in the air. Such will be given bodies that are mortal, temporary shells. The bodies of those raised in the second resurrection will not be transformed, and perfected to abide and serve in the divine presence (we say, heaven). Many will contain divine substance, however, it will be contaminated, defiled, impure and unclean. The spirits of the wicked will be rejoined to the same bodies they occupied in life upon the earth. Although they may have died in agony, with disease, or great pain, they will be provided sufficient health and alertness to participate in their own judgment. Judgment of the wicked will go forward in the sight of men, holy angels, and sentient beings throughout the universe, who have been prepared to serve as witnesses of GOD. Atheists, blasphemers, the unrepentant, those whose names do not appear in the Book of Life, and those who did not receive the imparted, indwelling Spirit of GOD will not be accused or attacked by any in heaven. Satan already will have been cast into the Lake of Fire. It is in this sense, judgment gives the unjust an opportunity for inclusion among those to have eternal life, for they are to be judged, make answer, and enter their appeals challenged only by their own deeds recorded in the Book of Life. Those raised, that are found altered by the operations of sin—such that they are permanently defiled, unclean and unfit for association with those containing divine substance—will lose all their remaining cohesion, integrity, and wholeness within the Lake of Fire. The unrighteous and unsanctified do not continue to exist forever in a condition of unending punishment. They immediately lose all self-will, and unique person. Scripture uses the plain language of pain and torment to provide strong cautions. In addition to revealing GOD by righteousness, a major purpose in final judgment is the termination of all material and other life forms that would possibly respond to sin. Saying this another way: Sin does not exist as an object that of itself may be eliminated; yet, sin may be totally purged by removing all that might respond to sin. (See Isaiah 43: 9-13, John 5: 24-29, Acts 24: 14-16 and Revelation 20: 10-15, KJV.)
THE GOLDEN ARROW: For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. (Malachi 4: 1-3, KJV)
