Three Types of Resurrections
There are three types of resurrections from the dead. To better illustrate the differences between these resurrections, we will assign a label to each one as the initial step in our discussion.
1. Reawakening – This is a resurrection from the dead whereby the person who has been restored to life continues with their original corruptible (decaying) flesh-and-blood body.
2. Revitalization – A resurrection of a person who at death possessed a corruptible (decaying) flesh-and-blood body but when brought back to life is transformed so as to have a mortal, incorruptible (nondecaying), ruach (spirit)-type flesh-and-blood body.
In this resurrection one will obtain a body like the one Yahushua the Messiah had while he was a man on the earth.
This type of resurrection is scheduled for all humans, except for the Messiah, and will occur only twice—at the First Resurrection and at the Second (General) Resurrection.
• The First Resurrection is the resurrection of the just (those declared righteous, justified to receive the Eternal Inheritance), more specifically the 24 Elders (Abraham, Isaak, Jacob, the twelve apostles, etc.) and the 144,000 Elect of Israel.
