Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(2Co 5:1) “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”  This house is referring to first of all, the spiritual body we call “the spirit” (it houses the soul); and second of all, to the resurrected eternal body like Jesus’ (to house the soul). Before the Rapture takes place, those who die open their spiritual eyes in the presence of the Lord. Their physical body is buried or cremated. Those individuals are waiting for the Rapture that will resurrect and transform their old bodies into new eternal ones, uniting the spirit to that body.
