Of Ghosts and Spirits, Angels and Resurrected Body

 Of Ghosts and spirits.

A scripture perspective on the spirit (aka ghost), the part of us bears the image of the physical. An image is a "copy" of the original and man was created "in the image of God".

The scriptures say we are body, soul, AND spirit.

A saved person's spirit returns to God.

(at the end of this post I mention "familiar spirits", which are lying and deceiving spirits that appear or imitate someone as a "ghost", or "alien", demons, and other spirit manifestations that we have authority over through Christ..).

There are likewise angels of God given as protection and messengers. We can also "test the spirits to know whether they be of God" John wrote.. and again,

Hebrews 1:14

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?

Paul said their is a "natural body" (physical), and there is a spiritual body. 1Cor 15. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

it is raised a spiritual body.

:44 If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body"

𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 who 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 is, and 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭, even after the "tent" of "house" is dissolved.

At the resurrection, the spirit and an eternal physical body are united. As Jesus exemplified when His spirit returned into his dead body and *resurrected* into a new, immortal body!! \o/ Praise to God.

𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬' 𝐧𝐞𝐰 resurrected 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬, 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬..

Luke 20:36

for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

The lost souls in the 2nd resurrection are combined as a corporate "body of death" that go into the lake of fire for destruction.

Death and destruction of the natural body is not the cessation of existence, for the lost without Christ it is an on-going destruction where the fire is not quenched. The spirit-soul separate from the physical body.

Some of us that experienced that separation in a trauma and others that died and came back can testify of that.

".... 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚.

𝑰𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚"

Rev. 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were

cast alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone:

"𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚. 𝑰𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚"

Rev. 20:4-6

Rev. 20:14 And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire.

15 And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

Note:

as with the harlot church, the body of Christ, the "wheat", the "body" of the beast, the nation of Israel, ALL are "corporate" bodies <Christ called them bundles> of people.

The "bundles".

Matthew 13:30

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares,

and bind them in *bundles* to burn them;

but gather the wheat into my barn.

"𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚. 𝑰𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚"

ref:

Isaiah 66:24

And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring to all flesh.

Mark 9:48

where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.

"𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚. 𝑰𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚"

Notice the dead go into fire WITH two hands...

Mark 9:43

And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather

than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.

"𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚. 𝑰𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚"

Here is another veiled witness to the "beast", as an un-regenerated man..

Ecclesiastes 3:21

Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goes downward into the earth?

"into the earth" is also witnessed by words like "pit", "ABYSS" "under the earth, "lower parts of the earth", etc.

Korah and company were swallowed up "alive" and taken down into the lower parts of the earth. -not a 6 foot deep grave.

Samuel came up from there also.

"𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚. 𝑰𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚"

Jesus went there while his body was in the tomb, then he led the redeemed saints UP to God, the first fruits wave offering by him as "high Priest".

*"familiar spirits":

These are the ghosts, aliens, demons, orbs, and other manifestations of fallen spirits that interface with our physical world.

Angels:

The same is true of angels which are spirit-beings and look like men. "some have entertained angels unaware" and they are sent as messengers and have authority to watch over the children of God.

Hebrews 1:14

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?

Some will disagree with this, I know the arguments. For others the Holy Spirit will witness what is truth. God bless you to receive it.
