Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

Spiritual beings have been bound in the past:

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. – Jude 1:6

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; - 2 Peter 2:5

Likewise, Satan will be bound:

And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. – Revelation 20:1-3

The “Law of the Excluded Middle” (either/or) does not apply to God.

Being in the flesh does not preclude being in the spirit. Nor does being in the spirit preclude being in the flesh. Nothing can thwart the will of God.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. – Hebrews 13:2

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne. - Revelation 4:2

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. – John 20:26-27

And it came to pass, that, while they communed [together] and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him - Luke 24:15-16

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. – John 1:12-13

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. - John 3:5-7

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. - Romans 8:9

And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. – Genesis 2:7

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. – Col 3:3-4

So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; 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. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit. – I Cor 15:42-45

There is a physical body and a spiritual body, an earthy ark and a heavenly ark, an earthy temple and a heavenly temple, an earthy Jerusalem and a heavenly Jerusalem, an earthy holy mountain and a heavenly holy mountain, a throne of David and a throne of God. None of these are mutually exclusive.

To God be the glory!

Yes and notice what the bible is saying here. Though He will come at the last day, that has not prevented Him from appearing, and every eye did not behold Him when He came. He and the Father come to believers. They manifest themselves. As we don’t build rooms onto our houses to accomodate them, it’s apparent the meaning is spiritual.
