The New Galilee, 6th Epoch. Our new bodies and new heaven & earth. The Lords resurrection, ascension, and 2nd coming The New Galilee is the New Jerusalem mentioned in the Bible. According to these Christian esoteric teachings, the New Galilee represents the future Sixth Epoch in mankinds evolutionary path and will see the transition of humanity to the etheric region of the Earth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Galilee_(Sixth_Epoch) Revelation 21:1-7 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with man, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write; for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. This New Heaven and New Earth is now in the making. When the heavenly time marker, the Sun, came into Aries by precession, a new cycle commenced and the glad tidings were preached by Christ.He said by implication that the New Heaven and Earth were not ready then, when He told his disciples whither I go, you cannot NOW follow, but you shall follow afterwards; I go to prepare a place for you and will come again and receive you. Later, John saw in a vision the New Jerusalem descending from Heaven, and Paul taught the Thessalonians BY THE WORD OF THE LORD that those who are Christs at His coming shall be caught up IN THE AIR to meet Him and be with Him for the Age. And analogously, the citizens of the coming Age will inhabit the air. But we know that our dense body gravitates towards the center of the earth, therefore, a change must take place; also Paul tells us that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. But he also points out that we have a SOMA PSUCHICON (mistranslated natural body,) a SOUL BODY, and this is made of ether, which is lighter than air and therefore capable of levitation. This is the Golden Wedding Garment, the Philosophers Stone, or the Living Stone, spoken of in some of the ancient philosophies as the Diamond Soul, for it is luminous, lustrous, and sparkling--a priceless gem. It was also called the ASTRAL BODY by the Mediaeval Alchemists, because of the ability it conferred upon the one who has it to traverse the starry regions. But it is not to be confounded with the Desire Body which some of the modern pseudo-occultists mistakenly call the Astral Body. This vehicle, the Soul Body, will eventually be evolved by humanity as a whole, but during the change from the Aryan epoch to the ethereal conditions of the New Galilee, there will be pioneers The body (Greek σῶμα soma) is the corporeal or physical aspect of a human being. Christians have traditionally believed that the body will be resurrected at the end of the age. That soma belongs inseparably, constitutively, to human existence is most clearly evident from the fact that Paul cannot conceive even of a future human existence after death, `when that which is perfect is come as an existence without soma – in contrast to the view of those in Corinth who deny the resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:35-36 The Resurrection Body 35 But someone will say, How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come? 36 You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies;…Man does not have a soma; he is a soma. biblehub/context/1_corinthians/15-1.htm Paul and Two Body-TypesPaul writes in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 that there are only two kinds of bodies. The human, like Adam, is described as what Paul calls a soma psuchicon or soul-like body. The second body is what he calls soma pneumaticon, or spirit-like body. He gives both body types several descriptive terms. From Greek Soma-Pneuma-eikon: Soma meaning body; Pneuma (spirit), and ikon derives from Eikōn meaning image. Literally, the Spirit Body Image. It is sown a soul body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a soul body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. - 1 Corinthians 15:44,45 Soma psuchicon -- soul-like body --- 1. earthly (epi-geia) 2. corruptible, decayable upon burial 3. weak when buried 4. buried as a soul-like body 5. dusty (choicos) 6. in the image of Adam 7. flesh and blood8. mortal = dying Soma pneumaticon -- spirit-like body --- 1. heavenly 2. incorruptible 3. powerful 4. raised as soma pneumaticon 5. celestial 6. in the image of the Risen Christ 7. not blood and flesh8. immortal = non-dying It is taught of the heavenly Son of the Father that a body [soma psychicon] was prepared for me. (Hebrews 10:5 KJV; TCNT: provide for me a body; AMP: made ready a body for me) This evidently happened when the heavenly Lord emptied himself of his divine-like spirit form (morphe) and took upon himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. (Philippians 2:7, 8 KJV) He partook of flesh and blood ... during the days of his flesh. (Hebrews 2:14; 5:7) Thus, the Son possessed a soma psychicon or soul-like body of flesh and blood. Indeed, Paul calls this part of Jesus’ life as the days of his flesh (Hebrews 5.7) as opposed to his former life in the spirit. (John 17:5) This soma psychicon or soul-like body was to be offered up as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. (Hebrews 10:5, 10) As long as our Lord was in his flesh it was as though there was a curtain or veil between earth and heaven. (Hebrews 10:20) Paul compared the flesh and blood of our Lord as pictured or typified by the ancient Israelite animal sacrifices whose bodies (soma) were burned up or destroyed. (Hebrews 13:11, 12) This would preclude the risen Christ ascending to heaven with his own human body, his soma psychicon. 2 Corinthians 5:16 We are Christs Ambassadors…15 and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. 16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.…(If Christ were still a human in flesh though heavenly, Paul could not have said what he did.) Earlier in this same chapter Paul has described what happens to the soma psychicon, ... our house, this tent, should be dissolved, we are to have a building from God -- not of human origin -- but everlasting in the heavens. (2 Corinthians 5:1) Here there is a tent and a building. What we are as individuals reside within these dwellings but upon the resurrection we receive, not the tent we formerly lived in, but a new, and completely different building. Paul continues showing the human body of flesh, bone, and blood is to be put off and a new residence taken up -- not of human origin. 2 Corinthians 5:2-6: For in this dwelling house [the soma psychicon] we do indeed groan, earnestly desiring to put on the one for us from heaven [the soma pneumaticon] , so that, having really put it on, we shall not be found naked [without either body]. In fact, we who are in this tent [some psychicon] groan, being weighed down; because we want, not to put it off, but to put on the other [some pneumaticon] , that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now he that produced us for this very thing is God, who gave us the token of what is to come, that is, the spirit. We are therefore always of good courage and know that, while we have our home in the body (this tent of human origin, the soma psychicon], we are absent from the Lord. This does not sound like Paul believed his tent or body was going to heaven in some spiritualized form. Nor does he ever indicate a disembodied spirit is later reunited with the former fleshly body in some kind of resurrection reunion. To Paul there are two bodies: one likened to a tent which can be taken down then folded up, and the other, compared to a building (oikodomen -- a word related to the word Jesus is accused of using in Mark 14:58 - oikodomeso). One is to be destroyed and the other heavenly one to be ageless, everlasting in the heavens. One is human, the other divine. One is mortal, the other immortal. Judging from 1 Corinthians chapter 15 it is the decayable soma psychicon -- this tent -- which is kata-lythe, or dissolved (KJV), destroyed (Con), demolished (NEB). Like a tent having its tent-pegs pulled up, the tent is collapsed and then folded up and put away. Likewise, that body which God had prepared for his Son during the days of his flesh, after the typical shadow of the Israelite sacrificial victims, was somehow disposed of, just as any sacrifice would be. (Hebrews 13:11, 12) That body was thus given in your behalf. (Luke 22:19) And this in fulfillment of the prophecy of the Suffering Messiah. (Isaiah 53:4, 5, 10, 12) So, was Jesus raised in the same human body, the soma psychicon, that was buried? Paul’s answer is: ... and the body which you are sowing is not the body you are going to become. ... Rather, God is giving to [this seed planted in the ground at death] a body just as He wills. (1 Corinthians 15:37, 38) Paul says Jesus was raised or resurrected, not in a flesh and blood soma psychicon but the Risen Christ became a life-giving spirit ... [for] flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 15:45, 50) Thus, as Paul has it, our Lord was raised in a soma pneumaticon, a spirit-like body without blood and flesh. However, suppose Paul believes this present body of flesh and blood is to some how be transformed, rebuilt or reconstructed to be like it was before, but some how in spirit -- or spiritualized? Paul is not unfamiliar with the Greek word for transformation (Romans 12:2) and he could have easily used it here if that was his intent. We do not see him phrasing himself in such a way. Rather, he says, what you sow is not that body that shall be [going to become]. (1 Corinthians 15:37) Paul does not say the physical body is clothed with immortality. Rather, he says the mortal puts on immortality. These are not bodies but states or conditions which change as a result of possessing a new body-type. With this Peter also agrees, for the fisherman writes: For Christ ... having been put to death in the flesh, yet having been made alive in the spirit. (1 Peter 3:18 UBS Interlinear) Peter likewise compared his earthly existence as an occupant residing within a tabernacle: Knowing as I do that the putting off of my tabernacle is soon to be. (2 Peter 1:14) Peter realizes that his tent (in Paul’s words) is to be put off, or as Paul has it, destroyed. He does not take this body to heaven, nor does he any where indicate he is later to re-inhabit his former earthly tabernacle. Some will argue about the rendering of 1 Peter 3:18 above, made alive in the spirit. We do not think we have to list all those translations which prefer made alive in the spirit or in the spirit he was brought to life. (WMS, NEB) It would seem this later phrase is contrasted with the former and opposite, was physically put to death (GDSP), or, his body being put to death. (TCNT) The Greek follows in which (ASV) -- that is, not in the flesh, but in the spirit -- the Risen Lord preached to other spirits (pneumasin) imprisoned in spiritual darkness. In which -- what? In the flesh in which he died? Or, in a spirit-body as Paul has it in 1 Corinthians 15:50?

ConclusionBefore the Son of God came to earth he was not flesh and blood but a spirit like his Father. He had a certain glory because of his being the first created or begotten spirit being. (Proverbs 8:22-30; John 17:5) His Father prepared a body of flesh and blood for him so that he might serve as a perfect equivalent to Adam. Jesus, like the Israelite offerings which typified him, sacrificed his life with its flesh, bone and blood body. Like the ancient shadows of those animals offered up as burnt sacrifices, or holocausts, Jesus’ own body was burned up or destroyed by his Father. Had the same body be found in the grave it would have disproved any claims to a resurrection. When he was raised he enjoyed a new spirit-type body with an immortal life and thus returned to that celestial realm from which he first came as a spirit person. All things considered, particularly Paul’s thorough discussion of the resurrection subject, it seems strange that if Christ were raised in the same human body laid in the tomb, Paul would not mention this. Also, no text specifically states Jesus was raised in the flesh. Rather, the Bible is clear and straightforward that Jesus was put to death in the flesh but raised in the spirit and even if we had known Christ formerly in the flesh, we know him thus no more. (1 Peter 3:18; 2 Corinthians 5:16) The Ascension Of Christ Acts 1:3 Introduction for Theophilus…2 until the day when He was taken up to heaven, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen. 3 To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of 40 days (after resurrection) and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God. John 20:17 Jesus said, Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. After 40 days, He ascended to heaven.. Mark 16:19 The Ascension 19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed. And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. John 3:10-13 Jesus and Nicodemus Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what WE KNOW, and bear witness to what WE HAVE SEEN; but you do not receive OUR testimony. …12 If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.Does John 3:13 mean that no one went to Heaven before Jesus?gotquestions.org/John-3-13.html Acts 1:11 The Ascension… 10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. 11 They also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven. HOW SHALL WE KNOW CHRIST AT HIS COMING? He had told His followers in Palestine that many would come to deceive; that if they were told to go into the desert or into this place or that place to look for Him, they should not go. He had told them that the angels in heaven did not know the day when He would return; that even the Son did not know but only the Father. Matthew 24:23-26 At that time if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Christ! or There He is! do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. So if anyone tells you, There He is, out in the desert, do not go out; or, Here He is, in the inner rooms, do not believe it. Luke 21:27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Revelation 1:7 Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. Luke 21:34-36 But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthyto escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man. Why is Jesus second coming taking so long? II Peter 3:8-9 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years (A millennium), and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. While we wait for Jesus, how should we live? Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. What will the world be like when Jesus comes? Matthew 24:37-39 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Will Christs coming be a time of reward? Matthew 16:27 and Revelation 22:12,. For the Son of Man is going to come in His Fathers glory with His angels, and then He will reward each person according to what he has done. Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. Why is Jesus coming back? Hebrews 9:28 So also Christ died only once as an offering for the sins of many people; and He will come again, but not to deal again with our sins. This time He will come bringing salvation to all those who are eagerly and patiently waiting for Him. At Jesus second coming, we will fully experience the reality of our salvation. 1 Corinthians 1:7-8 Now you have every grace and blessing; every spiritual gift and power for doing His will are yours during this time of waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. And He guarantees right up to the end that you will be counted free from all sin and guilt on that day when He returns. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Coming
