then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.
How old will I be? What will I look like? Well, you know there is some people that sort of object to the change of body. They wanna sort of hang on to what they look like. Personally, I don't anticipate having gimpy football knees anymore. I imagine I will have a head of hair and a few other things that have been missing for a while. Won't be wearing these glasses. It's interesting, we really don't know, except that Paul said, "Some of you will say, 'How are the dead raised and what kind of a body will they come?'" In other words, when they come with Jesus, what kind of a body will they have? Will we know them? Will we recognize them? And he said, "When you plant a seed into the ground it does not come forth into new life until it first of all dies. And then," notice, "the body that comes out of the ground is not the body that you planted, but God gives it a body as pleases Him, so is the resurrection of the dead."I don't expect this body to be resurrected and refurbished, refitted. I'm looking forward to moving into a whole new model, a building of God not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. The body that comes out of the ground is not the body that you planted. All you planted was a bare grain, by chance weed or some other grain, and God has given it a body as pleasing to Him, so is the resurrection of the dead. We are planted in corruption, but we are gonna be raised in incorruption. We were planted in weakness, but we're gonna be raised in power. We are planted in dishonor; we are gonna be raised in glory. We are planted as a natural body; we're gonna be raised as a spiritual body. And the difference between the celestial and the terrestrial, and so forth, and as we are born in the image of the earth and been earthly, so shall we bear the image of the heavens.So, you can interpret and understand that as you wish, but I'm looking forward to that building of God not made with hands, eternal in the heaven. That new body where my spirit shall dwell and I shall live and be with Him and His kingdom forever. That's the important thing. This corruption must put on . . . metamorphosis, change of body, and the Bible teaches us what death is to the child of God. "
