1 We are now children of God! Not yet revealed what we shall be when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is 1Jn 1:2-3

2 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, (even) his everlasting power and divinity; Rom 1:20 It has been this way since the Creation! God s Invisible attributes can t be seen His Eternal Power and His divinity Only perceived through things that are made

3 Can only be perceived through things made But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?" 36 Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain perhaps wheat or some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body. All things made on third day: Reveal everlasting power divinity & resurrection

4 Wheat This is not a Mystery! Glory to God & Resurrection

5 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 1 Cor 15:42-45

6 Sown in corruption; in dishonor; in weakness; a natural body; We Understand Seen Raised in incorruption in glory in power a spiritual body Perceived through Eyes of Heart Unseen

8 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man. 1 Cor 15:46-49 Which Heavenly Man? Phil 3:20; 1Jn 3:1-2

9 first man Adam living soul LAST ADAM LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT first comes natural then SPIRITUAL first man is of earth earthy SECOND MAN is of HEAVEN as the earthy earthy as is HEAVENLY HEAVENLY have borne image of earthy also BEAR IMAGE of HEAVENLY will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, Phil 3:21

10

11 When He is manifested we will be like Him. We will see Him even as he is 1Jn 3:2-3 The Lord Jesus Christ will fashion anew The body of our humiliation Conformed to the body of His glory. According to the working in which He is able to subject all things to His power Phil 3:20-21

12 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Cor 4:16-18 As we move to our Sowing we see unseen

13 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 1Cor. 15:40-42 Glory to God for the things that are made Glory to God for the things not yet made! So also is the Ressurection of the Dead

14 Terrestrial & Celestial

15 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. 1Cor. 15:40-42 Glory to God for the things that are made Glory to God for the things not yet made! So also is the Ressurection of the Dead

16

17 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." 1Cor. 15:51-54

18 We shall not all sleep all be changed in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet dead will be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed Corruptible must put on incorruption mortal must put on immortality Death is swallowed up in victory!

19 Lord Himself will descend from heaven With a shout, With the voice of an archangel, With the trumpet of God. The dead in Christ will rise first. Those alive caught up with them in clouds Meet the Lord in the air.

20 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Th. 4:18 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God. Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, 2Pet. 3:12, 14 who eagerly wait for Him Heb. 9:28 be like men who wait for their master, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Lk. 12:36-40

21 eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Rom 8:23-25 eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Cor. 1:7-9 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ who will transform, Phil 3:20-21
