When all these events were happening Jesus was with His father in heaven, (Proverbs 8:30-31) and from his prehuman vantage point, noted Abraham's faith, and so he was able to tell the Jews: "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”

The reason this is an excellent question is because 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17really does sound like what Jonathan has said: believers who have died are raised from the dead, and in that sense, first meet the Lord at his coming, rather than immediately meeting him when they die. It sounds like that, but I’m sure that’s not what Paul means there, and I...
First, look at 2 Corinthians 5:6–8: Those are the two alternatives that Paul sees. I’m either here in my body — in one sense, away from being at home with the Lord — or I die and I’m at home with the Lord. Now here’s verse 9: “So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.” Paul did not conceive of a time when the body dies an...
The other passage is Philippians 1:22–24: “If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.” Now, those are the two possibilities f...
Now, let’s say a word about 1 Thessalonians 4. You’ve got to put on your thinking cap, because the logic of this text is so important. I think it’s clear, but it’s complicated. It goes like this: “For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep” (1 Thessalonians 4:14)...
Here’s my conclusion when I put these three passages together. Precede in 1 Thessalonians 4:15 does not refer to the dead preceding the living into the presence of the Lord in heaven, which, of course, they clearly do. Paul’s just not talking about that. Rather, precederefers to preceding with a resurrection body into the glorious experience of the...

Jun 16, 2023 · Jesus’ appearance in heaven will resemble his resurrected body on Earth. People saw Jesus, touched him, spoke to him, and even ate with him after he rose from the dead. Also, passages like the Transfiguration and John’s description of Jesus in Revelation may provide hints about what he will look like in heaven.
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
