First thanks for the Reply, but the restoration is two fold, spirit first, of the inner man then the outward man, bodily at his coming at the last trump. 1 Corinthians 15:51 "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,"Very good...but you should not have added "bodily restoration" and "full regeneration of spirit and body."
That is, unless you do not actually men [flesh] body. Then it is perfect. For the flesh returns to the dust and is destroyed with fervent heat and with fire.
1 Corinthians 15:52 "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."
and the way we know it has not yet happen, Acts 2:34 "For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand," now this, Acts 2:29 "Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day." so no, no one has left yet.
redemption as said is two fold, Romans 8:19 "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God."
Romans 8:20 "For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,"
Romans 8:21 "Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God."
Romans 8:22 "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."
Romans 8:23 "And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body."
Romans 8:24 "For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?"
so our bodied are not redeemed yet, just as Davids and all the others. at his return all in him shall rise first, which is the completion of the First resurrection.

now if you have evidence of a bodily resurrection, (the Change), not a bodily restoring in apperance, while we are living now, and before the Lord coming in bodily form, then please post it.
