1 Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by the tradition from your fathers.
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by Him do believe in God, that raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently
23 Being BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Have we been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, through the Spirit, and been born again, not of corruptible seed (flesh body) but of incorruptible (spiritual body), by the word of God which liveth and abideth forever?
I am proposing that once we come to faith, are born again and receive the GIFT OF SALVATION, we are TRULY physically and spiritually made NEW CREATURES and at THAT POINT our new 'seed' is what is growing and it is 'that seed' that when the 'flesh' is sown at death,
1 Corinthians 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
goes on to be with the Lord,
1 Corinthians 15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be (earthen vessel), but bare grain, (incorruptible seed) it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him, and to every seed his own body.
AND IT DOES NOT 'go dormant' waiting to come to life at some later date.
I believe we are given a glimpse in Matt 20:1-16, just one of many places.
Matthew 20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
For those who have 'worked in the field', payment comes at the end of that day and we are not 'put off' until EVERYONE has worked, as in a 'last day resurrection' when Christ returns on the Day of vengeance, the beginning of the Lords Day. And we ALREADY saw the 'last day', take place, in which those in the graves would hear His voice and the graves would be opened when OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST became THE LAMB SLAIN.
Born again, born of the spirit, born from above, qualifies us to be of THE FIRST RESURRECTION. The first resurrection NOT BEING OF TIME AND PLACE BUT OF GIFT AND RANK and ONLY BEING A DEATH OF THE EARTHEN FLESH VESSEL (For as in Adam all die),
so an immediate 'going to be with the Lord WHERE HE IS' (even so in Christ shall all be made alive) (payment at the end of the day and GO to be where He is)
WE ALL KNOW EXACTLY 'WHAT TIME IT IS' BY WHAT HAS AND HAS NOT TAKEN PLACE aka which trumps have sounded and to be sure WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE TAKING WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE LAST TRUMP HAS SOUNDED AND TRYING TO PLACE IT ANYWHERE ELSE
THE 'SOULS UNDER THE ALTAR' 'HAVE BEEN AVENGED' THEY'RE WAITING UNTIL FELLOW SERVANTS HAVE DONE THEIR JOBS' COMPLETED
Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for HE HATH judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and HATH avenged the blood of His servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, ALL YE HIS SERVANTS and YE THAT FEAR HIM BOTH SMALL AND GREAT
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
REV 19:11 - 20:3 THE GROOM COMING TO THE EARTH FOR THE DAY OF VENGEANCE, ALSO FOR THE WEDDING BRINGING WITH HIM THE REST OF THE BODY AND TO THEM WILL BE JOINED ALL THE 'ALIVE AND REMAINING' WHO WILL BE CHANGED, GATHERED, THEN RECEIVING THEIR ROBES BE READY TO REIGN AND RULE WITH HIM FOR THE LORDS DAY
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them:
AND I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; AND THEY lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
ON SUCH THE SECOND DEATH HATH NO POWER.
SO THOSE OF THE FIRST RESURRECTION ARE NOT OF A 'SPECIFIC DAY' they are of a 'SPECIFIC TYPE' aka SAVED by FAITH through grace and the BLOOD of the LAMB.
And we know this is truth because THE DEAD stand at the GWTJ, not the living.
