After the Tribulation, it should be noted we still have a Millennium with a rule of iron. I suspect in that time, the technology will remain, but the control will be placed in the hands of the righteous King. Human history will still have enormous strides to cleanse the mind, our memories, and thinking processes of sin, but this time those who are indwelt are His people, Israel. We later receive our resurrection bodies, but not for while yet.

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.(I Thess. 4:13-18)

I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed - in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. (I Cor. 15:50-52)

I appears from Scripture that we SHALL receive our glorified, resurrection bodies at the Rapture and it will be both those who are alive at Christ's coming as well as the souls of those who have already died (coming WITH Christ) to meet their resurrection bodies at that same time.

Thanks for the verses. I stand corrected.
