Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from
the 1500’s.
Today is April 15, 2017 – in the 21 Century
April -- Aphrodite's month
Old English April(is)
Latin Aprilis
Etruscan Apru
Greek Aphro, short for Aphrodite.
Aprilis had 30 days, until Numa
when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days long.
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love and beauty. She is identified with the Roman goddess
Venus.
------------------
Yehovah God has
His own calendar, which is deleted from the world
We are now in the 1st month of the God of Israel called Nisan, נִיסָן and ha aviv הָאָבִיב – 17th
day
Esth.3 [7] In the first month, that is, the month Nisan
בַּחֹדֶשׁ
הָרִאשׁוֹן,
הוּא-חֹדֶשׁ נִיסָן
Exod.13 [4] This day came ye out in the month ha Abib. הָאָבִיב
הַיּוֹם,
אַתֶּם
יֹצְאִים,
בְּחֹדֶשׁ, הָאָבִיב

We read from the law
and the prophets every Sabbath like they did in the Book of Acts.
--
Acts: 13 [15] And after the reading of the law and the prophets…
--
Luke 24 [44] And Yeshua said unto them, These are the
words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be
fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and
in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me.
The Word of God -
Torah, Prophets and Writings (psalms), as Yeshua put
it.
Ta Na Kk is an acronym for:
T = Torah (law, teachings) - first 5
books God gave to Moses
N = Navi' eem or prophets (pl. sounds like - Na vi
eem)
K = Ke'tuvim or writings
(psalms etc.)
At this point, there
were neither gospels nor letters written.
-------------
I will explain the
Sabbath each week now during the coming holydays
This is how simple
it is:
Question: So why are we here today?
Answer: We were told to remember the Sabbath Day to
keep it holy.
Sabbath is the “4th
Commandment” 0f the 10 Commandments
Today is the rest of
the holy Sabbath unto Yehovah
I will explain the
Sabbath day from Scripture, the 7th day.
The Sabbath is not a service for an hour and a half, but a 24 hour period, the seventh
day.
Not any day you
pick.
---------------
Gen.2 [1] Thus the heavens and the earth were
finished, and all the host of them.
[2] And on the seventh day God ended his work which He had made; and He
rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.
[3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it
He had rested from all His work which God created and made.
-------------
Lev. 23 [32] … from even (sunset) unto even (sunset),
shall ye celebrate your Sabbath.
The Sabbath is the
4th Commandment of the covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd
month, Sivan
The 10 commandments are in Exod. 20 and Deut. 5 - if you just know this, you will know
more than most ministers.
זכר Remember
zâkar
- zaw-kar' - A
primitive root; properly to mark (so as to be recognized), that is, to
remember; by implication to mention; make mention of, be mindful, recount,
record (-er), remember, make to be remembered, bring
(call, come, keep, put) to (in) remembrance, be still, think on, well.
Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour,
and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath
of Yehovah thy
God:
in it thou shalt not do
any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates:
[11] For in six days Yehovah
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh
day: wherefore Yehovah
blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
--------
Isa. 58 [13] If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure
on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of Yehovah,
honorable; and shalt honor him,
1 - not doing thine
(your) own ways
2 - nor finding thine
(your) own pleasure
3 - nor speaking thine (your) own words:
[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yehovah; and I will cause
thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yehovah
hath spoken it.
------------
Lev. 23 [3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh
day is the Sabbath of rest, an "holy
convocation"; ye shall do no work therein: it
is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.
Dwelling:מושׁב môshâv - seat, assembly, dwelling-place, dwelling, your
situation, location, (at) time of dwelling.
All Sabbaths are "holy convocations, a miqra kodesh"
Lev.23
[1] And Yehovah spake
unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, concerning the feasts of Yehovah, which ye
shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are
My feasts.
[3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is
the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye
shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.
[4] These are the feasts of Yehovah,
even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.p
מקרא miqra:
convocation, convoking, reading, a calling
together, sacred assembly, something called out, that is, a public
meeting (the act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal
קדשׁ kodesh: a
sacred place or thing; consecrated, dedicated, hallowed, holiness, saint,
sanctuary, apartness, sacredness, separateness, apartness, sacredness,
holiness: All to the God of Israel.
------------
Buying and selling is evil on the Sabbath
Neh. 13 [16] There dwelt men of
Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner
of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
[17] Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, what evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the Sabbath
day?

A short review of the Feast of Unleavened Bread
In Torah
Lev.23 [1] And Yehovah
spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of Yehovah,
which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations,
even these are My feasts.
------------
“Offering
Time”
Exod.23 [14] Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto Me in the year.
[15] Thou shalt keep the
feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat
unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded
thee, in the time appointed of the month ha Aviv / Abib;
for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
[16] And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which
thou hast sown in the field:
and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the
year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of
the field.
Same as verse 15 - [17] Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord Yehovah.
---------
Deut.16 [16] Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Yehovah thy God in the place which he shall choose;
in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and
in the feast of tabernacles:
and they shall not appear before Yehovah
empty:
[17] Every man shall give as he is able, according to
the blessing of Yehovah thy God which he hath given
thee.
----------------
In the Prophets, Writings,
Gospels
2 Chr.8 [12] Then Solomon
offered burnt offerings unto Yehovah on the altar of Yehovah, which he had built before the porch, [13] Even after a certain rate every
day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths,
and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts,
three times in the year,
even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the
feast of tabernacles.
---------------
2 Chr.30 [13] And
there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread
in the second month, a very great congregation.
[21] And the
children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened
bread seven days
with great gladness:
and the Levites and the priests praised Yehovah day by day, singing with loud instruments unto Yehovah.
[22] And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good
knowledge of Yehovah: and they did eat throughout the
feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to Yehovah God of their fathers.
--------------------
2 Chr.35 [17] And the
children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread
seven days.
--------------------
Ezra.6
[19] And the children of
the captivity kept the passover
upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
[20] For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were
pure, and killed the passover
for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and
for themselves.
[21] And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and
all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the
heathen of the land, to seek Yehovah God of Israel,
did eat,
[22] And kept
the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for Yehovah had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the
king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house
of God, the God of Israel.
-------------------------
Ezek. 45 [21] In the
first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
[22] And upon that day
shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a
bullock for a sin offering.
[23] And seven days of the feast he
shall prepare a burnt offering to Yehovah, seven
bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the
goats daily for a sin offering.
-----------------------
Luke 2 [41] Now Yeshua’s parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast
of the Passover
[42] And when he was twelve years old,
they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of
the feast.[43] And when they had fulfilled the
days, (7 days) they returned…
Custom = manner
according to the divine laws in Torah

Today’s Topic:
The resurrection
Children of the resurrection
Job
14 [7] For
there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that
the tender branch thereof will not cease.
[8] Though the
root there of wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
[9] Yet through
the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
[10] But man dieth, and wasteth
away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
[11] As the
waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth
up:
[12] So man lieth down, and riseth
not: till the heavens be no
more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
[13] O that
thou wouldest
hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me
secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest
appoint me a set time, and remember me!
[14] If a man die,
shall he live again? all the
days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
------------------
Our dead bodies will be raised up
at the last day incorruptible
John
6 [39]
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath
given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
[40] And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth
the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
[44] No man can
come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
[54] Whoso eateth
my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life;
and I will raise him up at the last day.
------------
John
11 [24]
Martha saith
unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.
[25] Yeshua
said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the
life: he that believeth in me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live:
[26]
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never
die.
-------------
Believest thou this?
Matt.22
[23] The same day came to him the
Sadducees, which say that there is no
resurrection, and asked him,
[24] Saying,
Master, Moses said, If a man
die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed
unto his brother.
[25] Now there
were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife,
deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
[26] Likewise
the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
[27] And last
of all the woman died also.
[28] Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of
the seven? for they all had
her.
[29] Yeshua
answered and said unto them, Ye
do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
[30] For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor
are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
[31] But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have
ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
[32] I am the
God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
God is not the
God of the dead, but of the living.
--------------
Mark
12 [18]
Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say
there is no resurrection; and they
asked him, saying,
[19] Master,
Moses wrote unto us, If a
man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that
his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
[20] Now there
were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
[21] And the
second took her, and died, neither left he
any seed: and the third likewise.
[22] And the
seven had her, and left no seed: last of all
the woman died also.
[23] In the
resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
[24] And Yeshua
answering said unto them, Do
ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of
God?
[25] For when
they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage;
but are as the angels which are in heaven.
[26] And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye
not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake
unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob?
[27] He is
not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly
err.
--------------
Luke
20 [27]
Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which
deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
[28] Saying,
Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he
die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed
unto his brother.
[29] There were
therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
[30] And the
second took her to wife, and he died childless.
[31] And the
third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children,
and died.
[32] Last of all the woman died also.
[33] Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she?
for seven had her to wife.
[34] And Yeshua
answering said unto them, The
children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
[35] But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from
the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
[36] Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto
the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the
resurrection.
[37] Now that
the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush,
when he calleth
the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
[38] For he is
not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

Interesting
verses:
Matt.
27 [50]
Yeshua,
when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
[51] 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;
[52] And the graves were opened; and many
bodies of the saints which slept arose,
[53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went
into the holy city, and appeared unto many
-------------------
Luke
14 [12]
Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest
a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy
kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest
they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made
thee.
[13] But when thou makest a feast, call
the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
[14] And thou shalt
be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt
be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
----------------
Acts
1 [21]
Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Yeshua
went in and out among us,
[22] Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was
taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a
witness with us of his resurrection.
[23] And they
appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus,
and Matthias.
[24] And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two
thou hast chosen,
[25] That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which
Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
[26] And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and
he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
---------------------
Acts
2 [29]
Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he
is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us
unto this day.
[30] Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an
oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would
raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne;
[31] He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his
soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
[32] This Yeshua hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
------------------
[1] And
as they spake
unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees,
came upon them,
[2] Being grieved that they taught the
people, and preached through Yeshua the
resurrection from the dead.
[33] And with
great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Yeshua:
and great grace was upon them all.
--------------
Acts
23 [6]
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other
Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the
son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection
of the dead I am called in question.

Dan.12
[2] And many of them that sleep
in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to
shame and everlasting contempt.

[1]
Paul, a servant of Yeshua the Messiah,
called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
[2] (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy
scriptures,)
[3] Concerning his Son Yeshua the Messiah
our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
[4] And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the
dead:
[5] By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for
obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
[6] Among whom are ye also the called of Yeshua
the Messiah:
[7] To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace
to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Yeshua
the Messiah.
Rom.6
[1] What shall we
say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
[2] God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer
therein?
[3] Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Yeshua the Messiah were
baptized into his death?
[4] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as the Messiah was raised up from the dead by
the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
[5] For if
we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in
the likeness of his resurrection:
[6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body
of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
[7] For he that
is dead is freed from sin.
[8] Now if we be dead with the Messiah, we believe that we shall also live
with him:
[9] Knowing that the Messiah being raised
from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no more dominion over him.
[10] For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
[11] Likewise
reckon ye also yourselves to
be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Yeshua the Messiah our Lord.
[12] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should
obey it in the lusts thereof.
[13] Neither yield ye
your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves
unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as
instruments of righteousness unto God.
[14] For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the
law, but under grace.
[15] What then? shall we
sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
[16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his
servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience
unto righteousness?
[17] But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have
obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
[18] Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of
righteousness.
[19] I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your
flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to
iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to
righteousness unto holiness.
[20] For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from
righteousness.
[21] What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is
death.
[22] But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye
have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
[23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Yeshua the Messiah our Lord.

Paul
says:
Phil.3[10] That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection,
and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
[11] If by any means I might attain unto the
resurrection of the dead.

Heb.
11 [35] Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were
tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they

Pet.1 [3]
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua
the Messiah, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Yeshua
the Messiah from the dead, [4] To an inheritance
incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you,
[5] Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready
to be revealed in the last time.
[21] The like figure
whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting g away of the
filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the
resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah:

Tim.2 [16]
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more
ungodliness.[17] And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus
and Philetus;[18]
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that
the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
------------
Acts. 23[8] For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither
angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
-------------
Acts. 17 [18] Then certain
philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks,
encountered him. And some said, What
will this babbler say? other
some, He seemeth
to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Yeshua,
and the resurrection.
[32] And
when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this
matter.

John
says:
Rev.
20 [1] And I saw an angel come
down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his
hand.
[2] And he laid
hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound
him a thousand years,
[3] 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.
[4] And I saw
thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw
the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yeshua,
and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his
image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;
and they lived and reigned with the Messiah a thousand years.
[5] But the
rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
[6] Blessed and
holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
the Messiah, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
[12] Now if the
Messiah be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that
there is no resurrection of the dead?
[13] But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is the Messiah
not risen:
[14] And if the Messiah be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and
your faith is also vain.
[15] Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have
testified of God that he raised
up the Messiah: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
[16] For if the dead rise not, then is not the Messiah raised:
[17] And if the Messiah be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in
your sins.
[18] Then they also which are fallen asleep in the Messiah are perished.
[19] If in this life only we have hope in the Messiah, we are of all men
most miserable.
[20] But now is the Messiah risen
from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
[21] For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of
the dead.
[22] For as in Adam all die, even so in the Messiah shall all be made alive.
[23] But every man in his own order: the Messiah the firstfruits; afterward they that
are the Messiah's at his coming.
[24] Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to
God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority
and power.
[25] For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
[26] The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
[27] For he hath put all things under
his feet. But when he saith, all things are put
under him, it is manifest
that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
[28] And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son
also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
[29] Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the
dead rise not at all? why are
they then baptized for the dead?
[30] And why stand we
in jeopardy every hour?
[31] I protest by your rejoicing which I have in the Messiah Yeshua our Lord, I die daily.
[32] If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus,
what advantageth it me, if the dead rise
not? let us eat and drink;
for to morrow we die.
[33] Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
[34] Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the
knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
[35] But some man will say, How
are the dead raised up? and
with what body do they come?
[36] Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened,
except it die:
[37] And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that
shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
[38] But God giveth it a body as it hath
pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
[39] All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of
men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
[40] There are also celestial bodies,
and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of
the terrestrial is another.
[41] There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and
another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in
glory.
[42] So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption;
it is raised in incorruption:
[43] It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory:
it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
[44] It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is
a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
[45] And so it is written, The
first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening
spirit.
[46] Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is
natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
[47] The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord
from heaven.
[48] As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the
heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
[49] And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear
the image of the heavenly.
[50] Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
[51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall
not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
[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.
[53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality.
[54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then
shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in
victory.
[55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
[56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
[57] But thanks be to
God, which giveth us the victory through
our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
[58] Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in
the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the
Lord.
