And YET Jesus was RESURRECTED in His physical body.
John 20:26-29 (AKJV/PCE)(20:26) ¶ And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you. (20:27) Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. (20:28) And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. (20:29) Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.
I pity you unbelievers.
THEN, that physical body that ASCENDED into heaven.
Acts 1:9-12 (AKJV/PCE)(1:9) And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (1:10) And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; (1:11) Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (1:12) Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
This SAME Jesus will return IN LIKE MANNER....
Zech 14:1-4 (AKJV/PCE)(14:1) Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. (14:2) For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. (14:3) Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. (14:4) ¶ And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Believe it.
Pity me all you like, but unbelievers aren't only those who don't believe in God, but also those who say that they believe but they live by the will of their flesh and they don't live by the will of God. Putting their lives first before pleasing God.
There is no flesh with God, only Spirit. God is spirit, Christ is spirit and there are ministering spirits. No flesh.
Ecclesiastes 12
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
