Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord.....
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

II Chor 5:6-8

And? I would presume that most Christians would rather be absent from their bodies and present with the Lord. But this verse doesn't say when it happens. The bible says that this happens when Christ returns:

1Co 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 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.
