That's why Christ's resurrection saw many of the saints walking the city. He removed them from there and took them on up into glory for the first time.

With that in mind. Scriptures teach that the dead in Christ shall rise first. So would you say that when we die we go straight to heaven? On judgement day when we the Lord returns He will come with all the saints that have gone on before and receive all those that are alive and remain and at that time also judge the devil, his angels and the lost of this world?
