What will our bodies be like in the present, intermediate Heaven?

A Person and a Place: Safely Home

Bertrand Russell has been called the greatest mind of the twentieth century. Anticipating his death he said, “There is darkness without, and when I die there will be darkness within. There is no splendor, no vastness anywhere; only triviality for a moment, and then nothing.”

Whether or not he repented and turned to Christ before he died, Russell now knows how terribly wrong he was in thinking human beings exist only temporarily. Death is not a hole; it’s a door. We don’t end; we relocate.

mid-trib, post-trib, pre-trib, rapture, return of christ, wayne grudem

What is your position on the timing of the rapture?

I’m not sure of the rapture’s timing. I affirm the second coming of Christ and am premillenial, but depending on what Scriptures one goes to, a case can be made for pre-trib, post-trib, mid-trib and various adaptations of those positions.
