At the resurrection our new body we will receive will be united with our spirit and soul that will come with Jesus.Our new bodies will meet in the air.This is the last or the 7th. trump.He will destroy this earth as we know it and creat a new and the Holy City he is preparing will then land on the new earth.
Our bodies sleep but our spirit and soul goes to God.
1 Thes.4:14: For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring WITH HIM.
This person was in paradise with Jesus when they died.Luke23:[43] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Ecclesiates 12:7: Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
2Pet.3
[5] For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
[7] But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
[12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
[13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Revelation, chapter 21
1: 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.
2: And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3: And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4: 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
