The new spirit body physical apparatus when joined to the person's being, which is his/her born-again new person, thus becoming a tripartite whole person again, as Jesus again was reconstituted when He rose from out of the dead ones. Make no mistake, when Jesus commended His spirit into the Father's hands, His soul went to Hell. and His body went into the grave, He was dead. Dead, dead, dead. But when His soul and spirit were again joined together, He had a body of flesh-and-bones (Lk. 24:39), not flesh-and-blood (1 Cor. 15:50), for His Blood had been placed on the the Mercy Seat of Heaven (Heb. 9:22-24) forever. His Blood was separated from His Body at the Cross, never to be joined with it again.

But for us, when our souls and spirit are separated from this old body, our spirits will go to heaven as His did; but unlike Him, our souls will never have to go to hell, for He has experienced it for us. Our souls will also with our spirits to the Paradise of Heaven, to remain there until each one of us is rejoined to a newly formed and risen body like His, of flesh and bones (1 Jn. 3:2) at the moment of the harpadzo, the snatching-away, the Rapture (1 Thess. 4:16-17) when the rising bodies of all, and those at that point living go up to meet Him in the clouds, hig in the air, when God's Heaven intersects with the temporal universe for a moment.

At least, this is my picture of the process, just touching the high points, and making no excuse at this brief moment for its sketchiness. And right now, I don't have the time to explain this at length. Just ponder on it, and later on, maybe I will get a chance to fill out the blanks.

A pictorial representation can be found at THE MYSTERY OF LIFE AFTER DEATH -- THE PIT (GRAVE)

when you go there and click on "The Grave".

At least, this is my picture of the process...

Thanks for adding this.

I have NO picture of how it all is supposed to work. If I tried to visualize it; I'd probably have it wrong.

Matt 27:50-54

“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.”

I wonder...

...what ever happened to these 'saints' spoken of here?

...for His Blood had been placed on the the Mercy Seat of Heaven (Heb. 9:22-24) forever.

Oh??

Hebrews 9:22-24 King James Version (KJV)

²²And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

²³It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

²⁴For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Our souls will also with our spirits to the Paradise of Heaven, to remain there until each one of us is rejoined to a newly formed and risen body like His, of flesh and bones (1 Jn. 3:2)

Then just WHY would the OLD bodies need to leave the grave?

The flesh counts for nothing. John 6:63

1 John 3:2 King James Version (KJV)

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
