LOCUSTS From The Book of JOEL

[Davy]

Brethren in Christ Jesus, beware of Jews that still try to push the old 'dead in the ground' theory of the Orthodox unbelieving Jews.

Some so-called Christian denominations, which are actually Cults, allow many Old Testament myths of the Jews to migrate into their doctrines, disregarding The New Testament witness on several matters, like this one. Once our flesh body dies, we will never need it again.

Here is what Apostle Paul taught... The future resurrection is to a "spiritual body", NOT another flesh body. Those who are confused about this simple truth REFUSE to HEED the follow Scripture by Apostle Paul in its simplicity...

1 Cor 15:48-52
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew 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 trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
KJV



In the following, Apostle Paul reveals that we, at present, right now, also have "...a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." He shows that if our flesh body were suddenly dissolved, that other body of the heavenly type is suddenly manifest.

2 Cor 5:1-8
5 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
KJV

Some that have had a near death experience (NDE) already have been shown proof of the existence of that other body we all have, our spirit body:

 

[tailgator]

Sounds like you've been deceived by man's false doctrine of Amillennialism, which is not written in God's Word. They have the timelines messed up too.

The Ezekiel 37 event of the 'dry bones' is SYMBOLIC of the future resurrection event that 1 Corinthians 15 describes, which is NOT about flesh being raised. Flesh being raised out of the ground is an old myth pushed by the Orthodox Jews who trust in materialism.

Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 showed the resurrection is to a "spiritual body", and Paul even said in 1 Corinthians 15:50 that flesh and blood cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

So... if... you are a Christian, then you are supposed to understand The New Testament version about the future resurrection, which by Apostle Paul is to a "spiritual body", and NOT to another flesh body.

As for Ezekiel 37, it includes the gathering of both symbolic sticks, which represent the two separate houses of Israel which God split back in 1 Kings 11 forward. That gathering time is ONLY when Jesus returns in the future on the LAST DAY of this world, called the "day of the Lord". And when that day does happen, ALL... the wicked will be under His reign on earth, with His elect.

Zechariah 14 reveals the day of Christ's future coming to do battle... on that "day of the Lord". That battle is what the armies of Ezekiel 38 & 39 coming upon Israel out of the northern quarters is about. Thus Ezekiel 38 & 39 occur on... the "day of the Lord" at Jesus' 2nd coming.

Not only are you denying the word of God,you are denying the resurrection of Jesus.


Luke 24
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.



Apparently you've been deceived by the devil .I don't know who else could have deceived you in such a way.
You should believe Jesus and stop preaching against the word of God.

 

[Davy]

Not only are you denying the word of God,you are denying the resurrection of Jesus.

Those who wrongly believe in that old Jewish 'dead in the ground' theory often go immediately to the Luke 24 Scripture quoting Lord Jesus, which is popularly dwelt on by the preachers they heed which forget to cover the following of how at Jesus' resurrection His flesh body was 'transfigured' to the heavenly type body...

1 Peter 3:18-19
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
KJV

The above reveals that Christ's flesh body was "quickened by the Spirit", and that Spirit body is how... He went to the "spirits in prison" and preached The Gospel to them, leading out those who believed. That Jesus would lead the prisoners out of that heavenly prison house was prophesied in Isaiah 42:7 with the time of His 1st coming.

But brethren in Christ, you want to know what the Jewish influenced Cults teach instead about 1 Peter 3:18-20 with Jesus going to Satan's pit prison and preaching The Gospel to the "spirits in prison"?

Because they believe the old Jew's myth about when you die, you know nothing and are dead in the ground, they think it means those "spirits" Jesus preached The Gospel to were evil spirits, or demons! That's the stupidity those preachers on the false 'dead in the ground' theory create! It's also why they never get to the next 1 Peter 4 Chapter where Apostle Peter made it plain that Lord Jesus preached The Gospel to the dead that had died on earth prior to His resurrection...

1 Peter 4:5-6
5 Who shall give account to Him That is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6 For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
KJV

Since the 1 Peter 3:20 verse about those who had died back to the time of Noah is not enough proof, they also reject the above what Peter said about those "spirits in prison" that Jesus preached The Gospel to, and led out those who believed. And what was the result of Jesus preaching The Gospel to those "spirits in prison"?
This...

Matt 27:52-53
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
KJV


The New Testament facts are that our flesh body was NEVER meant to be permanent. It is a temporary body of this 2nd world earth age. The type body of the world to come is a 'spirit' body, the "spiritual body" which Apostle Paul taught the resurrection is.

So if the believer on Jesus Christ does not understand that a flesh body cannot go to Heaven (1 Cor.15:50), then they need to quit listening to their preachers teach ignorance, and get into God's Word for theirselves.

 

[Davy]

How then was Lord Jesus' flesh body 'transfigured' to a Spirit body?

If one will recall, Jesus' flesh body was never found in His tomb. Does that happen to our dead flesh body buried in the ground? No, our flesh body instead decays, going back to the earthly elements where it came from, like Ecclesiastes 12:5-7 shows. Thus 'our' death and resurrection is not quite the same as Lord Jesus' was. Our flesh breaks down going back to the earthly elements where it came from, and out spirit goes back to God Who gave it, as written. They are two separate and distinct operations, even as Lord Jesus said in John 3:6 that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of The Spirit is spirit. Lord Jesus' Spirit was resurrected, but His flesh body was 'transfigured'. Our flesh won't be.

One of the main sources of the old Jewish 'dead in the ground' myth is Genesis 2:7 with the Jew's wrongly thinking that our 'soul' is part of our flesh body. It is not, even as Lord Jesus showed in Matthew 10:28, when He said to not fear those who can kill our flesh body, but not our soul. Even the Ecclesiastes 12:5-7 Scripture they reject, though it reveals our flesh body is a separate feature than our spirit, as they will claim that spirit mentioned there is just the spirit in all living things, like nature's force, in plants, animals, minerals, etc., still trying to attach it to earth matter (tree huggers, nah!).

So like Apostle Paul taught in 2 Corinthians 5, the saints that have died in Christ, believe Paul when he said those are now with Jesus in their other body, a spirit body of the heavenly order.

Jesus had already ascended into heaven and returned and still had a flesh body.
He said it was flesh himself.

Jesus flesh body was not in the tomb because it got up and walked out.

Jesus own words.Flesh and bones.


Luke 24
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

 

[Davy]

Jesus had already ascended into heaven and returned and still had a flesh body.
He said it was flesh himself.

Your denying the testimony of Jesus

You are denying the testimony of God's Word, particularly the 1 Peter 3 & 4 Scripture I showed, and also Apostle Paul in 1 Cor.15:49-50, just so you can believe that the future resurrection is about a new flesh body, when it is not per God's written Word.

Thus you TRY... to abuse the Luke 24 Scripture about Lord Jesus' TRANSFIGURED body after His resurrection, by FALSELY teaching it is a flesh body exactly like the one we have today, which CANNOT do the following sudden appearing out of nowhere like Jesus did after His resurrection, as... written:

Luke 24:35-37
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how He was known of them in breaking of bread.
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, "Peace be unto you."
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
KJV

John 20:19-20
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, "Peace be unto you."
20 And when He had so said, He shewed unto them His hands and His side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
KJV

John 20:26
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."
KJV

But go ahead, keep denying the many Bible Scripture examples that reveal Jesus' body was TRANSFIGURED to the Heavenly Spirit body after His resurrection, just so you can keep your old Jewish traditions of men.

For my Brethren in Christ that know better, because of understanding the New Testament Witnesses about this matter, the "spiritual body" which Apostle Paul taught the resurrection is, ain't about a new flesh body, as flesh cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, like he said in 1 Corinthians 15:50.

And Paul said as we have borne the "image of the earthy" we shall also bear the "image of the heavenly", which that is what KIND of image? It is the same kind of body like the angels have, which is why Jesus even said in the resurrection, they are as the angels of God in Heaven!

The spiritual body is NOT another flesh body, nor was the resurrected body of Lord Jesus, simply because a flesh body cannot suddenly appear out of nowhere and then suddenly disappear like Jesus did among His disciples after His resurrection.

The resurrected body can eat man's food, feels like flesh, looks like flesh, but is not flesh. It is a body made of Spirit. So if one keeps listening to the Dialectic Materialists of Communism that only believe in material matter while denying the existence of that other realm called Spirit, then that will never... understand how what Lord Jesus said in Luke 24 aligns perfectly with what Apostles Paul and Peter taught about the resurrection body in The New Testament.

 

[Davy]

Jesus flesh body was not in the tomb because it got up and walked out.

You don't have a clue what the resurrection body is, so keep pushing that old Jewish tradition of the resurrection being one like today's flesh body.

Matt 22:29-32
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
KJV

A carnal materialistic mind cannot... understand the above.

 

[Davy]

Jesus own words.Flesh and bones.


Luke 24
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

Jesus' resurrected flesh body was TRANSFIGURED to the Heavenly type body, which looks like flesh, feels like it, but is not. Did your Jewish rabbi not teach you about Genesis 18 & 19 where Jesus and two angels appeared to Abraham at his tent door, and Abraham prepared man's food and drink for them, and they did eat? How can a ghost body do that? And Lord Jesus had not even been born yet through woman's womb at that time!
