the resurrection

The first coming of Christ and his resurrection ensured that in the present age, Christians are already raised with him. Christ's resurrection from the dead also ensured that we believers will be raised bodily at the end of the age. ~ Kim Riddlebarger, A Case for Amillennialism

1 Cor 15.42-44 - So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

Heb 9.27-28 - And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

We are clearly dealing with two ages; the current age in which we find two kingdoms in conflict and the future glorious age in which we live eternally with our great King (Mt 12.32; Lk 18.29-30; 20.34-35; Eph 1.21; Rom 12.2; 1 Cor 1.20; 2.6-8; 3.`8; 2 Cor 4.4; Gal 1.4; Eph 2.2; 1 Tim 6.17; Tit 2.12; 1 Cor 6.9-10; 15.50; Gal 5.21; Eph 5.5; 1 Thess 2.2, 2 Thess 1.5; 2 Tim 4.18).
