NO!
I mean only their physical body would be totally GONE.

LOL well, I had just read this: [Then I read your post and was like ]

Ezek 18:4: Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.

Matt 10: 28:
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell

Post by QueenAnnieNow, when Jesus said this, he didn't mean it as a threat. What he meant was OBEY GOD - NOT MEN. Men's laws have no ultimate penalty that MATTERS.

I don't fear men, I do, however, fear God. I don't think I can explain the fear I have.

I see 11:11 everywhere and just read John -> it pertains to Lazarus!! (Lazarus was raised from the dead!)

John 11:11:
11 He said these things, and after this he said to them: “Laz´a·rus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.”

YES it does!

ALSO Daniel 12:5!

Resurrection...even YET another confirmation of the message!

I was just reading the Bible and read this:

"All spiritual resurrection is accomplished in this life
before the body dies" (Eph. 2:1-10; Col. 2: 11-13)

Interesting verses!

Right!

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Revelation 20:5

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Revelation 20:6

Here is a BIG key to understanding these 'thousand year' things - back in the day, thousand meant simply:
A PLURAL OF UNCERTAIN AFFINITY

And they did not yet have 'zero' at that time...the Greeks never liked the idea of a 'zero' but later on the Muslims/Arabs 'discovered' zero...it was monumental as a place holder for business ledgers!

And so if there was no concept of zero as a placeholder when John wrote this, then there could be no way at all to say that thousand THEN meant the same as it does NOW.

I'm pretty sure it is a symbolic representation of SPIRIT.
So soul = HUNDREDS
Body = TENS

See?

Annie, I feel like we are on the same wavelength!



I had read about the number zero a while back. I keep thinking about the time difference now outside of the Earth.

Like I feel now, that one day = one thousand years et cetera

So, even though it feels like such a long time, it is only a day or 3 days in Heaven.
