Behold, I shew you a mystery; We
shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed, 1Cor. 15:51 What is this mystery of not Sleeping ? In this text Sleep is synonymous with death or Sleep is a picture of death. The Apostle Paul wrote the dead in Christ shall rise first and those of us that remain shall also rise... The Thessalonians's wanted to know what happen to their love ones who died before Jesus was Crucified. Before Jesus was Crucified the Door to heaven was closed. Everyone who died before Christ satisfied the Law was taken to Abraham's Bosom if they believed in GOD. Because Luke wrote the Rich Man and the beggar named Lazarus died. "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in HELL he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom." Luke 16:22-23 But when Christ was Crucified He enter the strong man’s house, and spoil all his goods, satan being trapped by The Blood of Christ. "For Christ also
hath once suffered
for sins, the just for the unjust,
that he
might bring us to God,
being put to death in the flesh,
but quickened by the Spirit: By
which also he went and
preached unto the
spirits in prison ((( hell )));" 1Peter 3:18-19 The Mystery is those of us that believe in Jesus Christ will never die. Because after the Resurrection Jesus became the open an only Door to heaven. "Jesus, when
he had
cried again with a loud
voice, yielded up the ghost. And,
behold, the veil of the
temple was rent in twain
from the
top to
the bottom; and the earth
did quake, and the rocks
rent; And
the graves were
opened; and many
bodies of the
saints which slept
arose, And
came out
of the
graves after his
resurrection, and went
into the
holy city, and
appeared unto many. Matt. 27:50-53
