Translation

of the
Bride of Christ
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.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52
53. For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality.
54. So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put
on immortality, then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written, Death is swallowed
up in victory.

1 Corinthians 15:53-54
• Now, that's the way the Church ought to
be watching for the coming of the Lord:
all in order, all ready, all packed up and
ready to go as soon as He comes;
because it'll be in a moment in a
twinkling of an eye. Just try to time how
long it would take your eye to twinkle.
That's just how quick the rapture of the
Church will take place.

The sudden,secret going away of the

church
15. For this we say unto you by the word of the
Lord, that we which are alive and remain
unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent
them which are asleep.
16. For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and
the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1 Thessalonians 4:15-16
17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we
ever be with the Lord.
18. Wherefore comfort one another with these
words.

1 Thessalonians 4:17-18
Three things happens. A voice... A shout, a voice, a
trumpet, has to happen before Jesus appears. Now, a
shout... Jesus does all three of them when He's--He's--
He's--He's descending.
A shout, what is the shout? It's the Message going forth,
first, the living Bread of Life bringing forth the Bride.
Now, God has a way of doing things. And He never
changes His policy. He never changes His po-... He's the
unchanging God. In Amos 3:7, He said, "He would do
nothing on the earth until first He revealed it to His
servants the prophets." And just as certain as He
promised it, He'll do it.

Rapture

 Now, it's the first thing, is the sounding. The first
thing is a trumpet and a... or a voice... A shout; and
then a voice; and then a trumpet.
Shout: a messenger getting the people ready.
The second is a voice of the resurrection: the same
voice, that, a loud voice in Saint John 11:38-44, that
called Lazarus from the grave.
Getting the Bride together; and then the
resurrection of the dead, see; to be caught up with
It. Now watch the three things takes place. The next
is what? Was a trumpet. A voice... A shout; a voice;
a trumpet.
Now, the third thing, is a trumpet. Which, always, at
the feast of trumpets, is calling the people to the
feast. And that'll be the Bride's Supper, the Lamb's
Supper with the Bride, in the sky. See?
The first thing comes forth is His Message, calling
the Bride together. The next thing is a resurrection
of the sleeping Bride; the--the ones died, back in
the other ages, they're caught together. And the
trumpet, the Feast in the heavens, in the sky. Why,
that's the thing that takes place, friends.
Yet, it is not you. You are on the inside of that
body. You, the Spirit of God, is on the inside of
that body. That's what makes the outside come
into subjections, because the inside is pulling it,
see, bringing it in line with the Word of God;
your inside, you yourself, your being.
This body is just an old coat. And some day,
what will you do with it, for you was--was only
in the garment for a while? That is like the
earthly garment; this body.

And death does not change
the soul; it only changes its
dwelling place.

An Ensign
62-0119
And remember, when you die and that soul leaves
you, it never changes. No, sir. Death doesn't change
the soul. It changes its dwelling place, but it's still
the same soul. So if it isn't borned again, and a part
of the eternal Spirit of God, it had a beginning.
Anything with a beginning has an end. That's the
reason God's the only thing's eternal.
Unless you're born again and have eternal life (the
Greek word "Zoe" there means "God's own life" in
you) you'll perish. But where God's life is in you,
you can no more perish than God can perish (That's
right.) because you are a son, an offspring of God,
and have Eternal Life.

40. There are also celestial
bodies, and bodies terrestrial:
but the glory of the celestial is
one, and the glory of the
terrestrial is another.

1 Corinthians 15:40
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.

1 Corinthians 15:48-50
• Celestial Body (epouranios)
-- heavenly
-- celestial
-- in heaven
-- high
1) existing in heaven
1a) things that take place in heaven
1b) the heavenly regions, i.e. heaven itself, the
abode of God and angels, the lower heavens or the
heavens of the clouds
1c) the heavenly temple or sanctuary
2) of heavenly origin or nature
• Terrestrial Body (epigeios)
-- earthly
-- terrestrial
-- in earth
1) upon the earth, earthly, terrestrial
2) Sex born, of flesh and blood, human shape body,
with five senses… subject to aging,wrinkles etc and
ultimately death
3) Its mortal
• Glorified Body (theophany)
1) Occurs in the Resurrection and Body Change in the
Rapture, literal translation of the saints, physical exit
from the earth
 two ways to getting into a Glorified Body
condition:
1) The dead or sleeping saints, whose souls went into
their celestial body come to the earth and pick up
the 12 Elements of Body to become glorified body.
2) The leaving saints, take their Glorified Body.
• There's three stages of everything. There's a
stage of the mortal body, the immortal body,
and then the glorified body. See? Just like,
other things, like Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
goes in one channel, and the three makes the
one. Justification, sanctification, baptism of
the Holy Ghost in a channel makes the one.
And--and soul, body, and spirit makes the one.
And it travels in three's, and three's are one.

• But then when that body, a kind of a celestial
body, when it returns back to the earth, it
picks up the--the substance that it once lived
in and then it becomes a glorified body. And
that body is the one that we'll see the Lord
Jesus in His resurrected body.

1. ¶ 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:

2 Corinthians 5:1-2
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.

2 Corinthians 5:3-4
• Then, when a man is born again, from Heaven,
he becomes a spirit babe in Christ.
• And, then, when this robe of flesh is dropped,
there is a natural body, theophany, a body not
made with hands, neither born of a woman, that
we go to.
• Then that body returns back and picks up the
glorified body.
• That's the reason Jesus went to hell when He
died, and preached to the souls that were in
prison; turned back into that theophany. Oh,
marvelous! Thank God!
The Bride, when she's taken from the church, then
the church age will cease. Laodicea goes into chaos;
the Bride goes to glory; and the tribulation period
sets in upon the sleeping virgin for three and a half
years while Israel is getting its prophecy; then
tribulation sets in upon Israel; and then comes the
battle of Armageddon which destroys all things.
And then, the Bride returns back with the Groom
for a thousand years, the millennium reign; after
that comes the white throne judgment; after that
comes the new heavens and new earth and the
new city coming down from God out of heaven.
Eternity and time blends together.

26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is
death.
• we have by-passed that, to come straight from God, the
attribute; to be flesh, to be tempted and tested by sin, like
Adam did. But when testing of His Word is over, then we
are taken up to this body that was prepared for us before
the foundation of the world. It is the Word there that we
skipped, to come right around, down here to be tempted
and tested. If we'd have come through that, there'd have
been no temptation; we'd a-knowed all things. That's the
reason Jesus knowed all things, 'cause He was Word before
He was flesh. Then we become the Word.
• 80 Here we are formed to the Word image, to be a
partaker of the Word, feed on the Word, by being
predestinated since the beginning
14. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam,
prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord
cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

Jude 1:14
Now, the sixth dimension is in Christ, the saints,
dead saints, or resting saints, who is completely,
work finished on earth, and has entered into
rest with Christ under the altar, beautifully. You
could parallel it like a wonderful dream that you
didn't want to wake up. It ain't a dream, it's
natural. It's real. But I'm just making a parable to
you. And 'course, the seventh dimension is God
alone.
