[Scriptures] 1 Corinthians 15:40-45
40) There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.
41) The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
42) So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;
43) it is sown in dishonor, 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. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
45) So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
Hallelujah! I bless you to be filled abundantly with the ‘love of the eternal Holy Father God’ and the ‘peace of the Holy Son.’
Today's scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15:41-44 says: “It is sown a NATURAL BODY; it is raised a SPIRITUAL BODY," right? This means that the SPIRIT will become transformed by receiving what the BODY has done.
Also, in 1 Corinthians 15:50, Apostle Paul said, “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor can the PERISHABLE inherit the IMPERISHABLE.”
That is, it is not the RESURRECTION OF THE BODY in which the body comes to life. It refers to the RESURRECTION OF THE SPIRIT in which [the spirit] receives the deeds of the body and becomes transformed by them.
If the BODY receives the ‘Almighty Holy Son’ on the ‘earth’ and hears the Word of the time period and obeys it and takes action on it, then according to the ‘deeds of the body,’ the SPIRIT will become transformed. This is the RESURRECTION, that is, the RESURRECTION OF THE SPIRIT. The ‘spirit that has become transformed through the deeds of the body’ receiving the Holy Son and going to ‘Heaven,’ is the RAPTURE.
RAPTURE is ‘transformation. It is ‘to make.’ If you want to become raptured, you must transform and perfect ‘your soul and spirit’ through ‘your body.’
You must know what great hope ‘making a SPIRIT that will go to Heaven and live forever’ is. You must know Only those who make know. Thinking about applying makeup and making yourself beautiful and thinking about adorning yourself beautifully, your BODY must make YOUR SPIRIT by seeing and hearing the Word and taking action on it.
OUR BODY should first make your mind, heart, thoughts, mentality, and deeds perfect, and by taking action on the Word, you must transform YOUR SPIRIT perfectly into [a spirit] that is bright, beautiful, and good, and make it so it becomes a ‘counterpart of love that is of the heavens.’
You must transform YOUR SPIRIT to the ‘level of the divine.’ However, it cannot be done at one time. No matter how skilled you are, you cannot transform yourself perfectly by just doing it once or twice. Cars too. Metals are extracted from the ore underground, melted in furnaces, made into steel plates by putting them through dozens of processes, and are transformed through hundreds of steps and made into cars in the factories.
Both NATURE AND OBJECTS OF THE WORLD become made and exist according to how they are made. The same is true with YOUR SPIRIT. Depending on your body making yourself by absolutely obeying and taking action on the Holy Son’s Word, <YOUR SPIRIT’S FORM gets decided by that. It is ‘absolutely to make.’
I bless all of you in the name of the Holy Son to hear the Word, know perfectly about the RAPTURE, take action every day, and so transform your SOULS AND SPIRITS through your BODIES, and become raptured.
