Jesus Christ’s understanding of Resurrection



Resurrection is a very big subject but applies chiefly to the resurrection on the 3rd day, when the children of God will be enveloped in a new and glorified body, (a body which will resemble the body of the one they had in the prime of their lives during the 1st day which is today), these resurrections into a glorified body can be witnessed by the children of God, as they are angelic witnesses and Christ’s in their own right from the 2nd day. The reign of these Christ’s is up to a thousand years, they also witness the children of men as well as angels as they transition in the 1st day to the 2nd days.


We also have an explanation of resurrection and its counterpart which is reincarnation, from Our Lord when He discussed with Nicodemus the fact that there were two dichotomies regarding salvation, the physical return of a person unfit for the ‘Kingdom of God’ and the spiritual exit of a person who is fit for it. Our lord consolidates this teaching when He spoke to the ‘Rich young Ruler’ stating his salvation was assured because of his following the law of Moses but this salvation was secondary as it involved merely reincarnation. So one is locked into the 1st day, (Hodie), and the other released from matter into the ‘Kingdom of God’ as an angelic child, to begin the 2nd day.


The fact that this realm has existed to our knowledge for thousands of years suggests that no one is lost and are in familial groups. Further we can set as a biblical fact that the first millennial people who followed Our Lord are all arisen bodily in their 3rd day, and that the Old Testament people who followed the Law of Moses are as well, as recorded in Exodus 20:6.

The teaching of Our Lord is not about reincarnation but how to overcome reincarnation yet he does not deny reincarnation. Consider the teaching of the ‘sermon on the mount’ when He said “The meek shall inherit the earth” this is a clear reference to returning to another body (earth or matter) after one life has been spent, and contrasts with the terms required for one to “enter into the Kingdom of God” who has the burden of his own cross. Therefore the meek can inherit only material life, (because of their disposition) but they may not enter the kingdom of God, because it requires great and determined faith.

We must also consider St John the Baptist and his role as Elijah redivivus, and in so doing call to mind the words used by Jesus to the Jews of is day, “where I am going you cannot come” because those Jews would only achieve reincarnation but Jesus Christ is Lord of the resurrection so His own resurrection on the 3rd day was witnessed on the 1st day and is still being witnessed on this 1st day.


Yet we must keep in mind the instant generosity by which the Good Thief was accepted into Paradise.

John 8:21

Again he said to them, “I go away, and you will seek me and die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.”

Hebrews 6:6-8

Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, again he sets a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,

Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not speak later of another day.

This stems from a mixing up of 2 eternal destinies...that of a saint in the new Jerusalem and a righteous person in the nations.

Hi Episkopos
Would you elaborate why you believe that to be the case.

Your explanation is based upon your understanding but my post is based upon John 16:12-15, this event is spoken of in the Creed as "He will judge the living and the dead" and in this judgement (or actually revelation of your personal salvation) you are taken beyond your earthly life and are allowed to see yourself as you are in that spiritual realm, and you are a luminous child or angel.

Read my initial post as it contains information about the physical resurrection of Angels (saints) who are awaiting that rebirth, and to whom we may socialise with prior to that rebirth.

Sometimes without understanding each other we can be saying the same thing from different standpoints, but my stance is that it is not my standpoint it is what i have been allowed the know through revelation, or Gnosis.
