Philippians 3:21-22
But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.
Luke 20:34-35
Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.
Did I get married after the age to come? Did I get married after the resurrection from the dead?
Hebrews 9:28
so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
1 John 3:2
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
I must say it again, when Christ "appears" we will physically be able to see him on or near the earth. Within the earths atmosphere.
Acts 1:9
After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
They lost his appearance.
Acts 1:11
"Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."
We will regain his appearance.
All will see him, even those that pierced him, even those who are in the grave. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess. No more death, sorrow, or crying.
Jesus said "and if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also."
"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."
I'm pretty sure he will "appear" to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead.
Colossians 3:4
When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
