Yes, this is a good discussion.
OzSpen; At death, our spirit returns to God, who gave it. There is no verse that says it will be conscious, with the exception of the souls of the martyrs, who are allowed to ask when the Lord will avenge them.
Sleep, is the word used, which has the connotation of awakening later. Just as I showed.
Your verses like Matthew 5:8 do not say when we will see His face and Revelation 7 is a entirely earthly scene. Verses 1-14 happen in Jerusalem, soon after the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster and verses 15-17 are after the Millennium, in the New Jerusalem.
Proved by how God will wipe every tear from their eyes, paralleled in Revelation 21:4
Wormwood; as you may see from my thread; The Day of Deliverance, the Prophetic Word tells us how the Lord will save and protect His people during His terrible Day of wrath, the soon to happen Sixth Seal judgement of the nations.
Then we will be gathered and will migrate into all of the holy Land. Psalms 107, Ezekiel 34:11-16 and Isaiah 66:18b-21, Isaiah 35:1-10 are some of the best prophesies about this. We Christians are the Lord's people, His chosen; John 15:18, 1 Peter 2:8-10, and we are the people; nation, who bear the proper fruit. Matthew 21:43. We will, at last; be His witnesses, Isaiah 43:10 and His Light to the nations. Isaiah 49:8, Acts 13:47
So, basically there is no need for anyone, other than the 2 Witnesses to go to heaven, Rev 11:12 The whole idea of a rapture removal of Christians to heaven, is not part of God's plan for His people. Therefore, a body change is not necessary or logical, before the final wrap up and then all those whose names are written in the Book of Life, will receive immortality and be with God for Eternity, when God and therefore: heaven will be on earth. Rev 21:1-4
