We who enter into the presence of God will receive glorified bodies! Will those going to Hell receive them as well?! Or just their spirits?! How will they stand before God at the judgement?! TR Interesting question. I’ve never thought about that before. Not sure which way to lean on this. Can a spirit feel pain? Is so, then perhaps remaining in spirit form would be part of the punishment. The Bible gives indication that demons look for physical bodies to inhabit so denying them a body might be part of the judgement. If not, then I would imagine they would receive their glorified bodies as the anguish and torment of the fires of Hell will be felt. I think they will have a body in hell, but I would not call it a glorified body. Maybe a eternal body. I agree with Perhaps Today ... the lost also are fitted with an eternal body that is made for burning but will not be consumed. I believe there are different degrees of punishment even in the Lake of Fire. Perhaps those who sinned more will have a body that can feel the pain more vs. someone else? :unsure: I watched this 2 hr Bible Study last night with Geoffrey Grider ... Death is always ugly, and it’s supposed to be, but it is what follows after death that is truly noteworthy. If the Lord tarries, we will all die at some point, no exceptions. A longtime reader named Chris wrote to me the other day, and told me a genuinely heartbreaking story. His niece Madeline was killed last Sunday in a horseback riding accident and the entire family is understandably devastated and heartbroken. I cannot begin to imagine the grief of losing a child. Maddie’s mom is overwhelmed with grief, and really wants to know from the bible what has now happened to her daughter. Chris asked me if I had a bible study on what happens when we die, this is that bible study. - Fair Use - ——— Note: Apparently Madeline (13 yrs old saved believer) tied the horse reins around her waist and then the horse got spooked by gunshots at a local firing range and the horse took off and Madeline was trampled on and got dragged for 30 minutes. So Geoffrey did a study on death to give comfort to that family and to others who are grieving of their loved ones who are no longer here. To sum up the program ... He taught when a person dies even though their spirit (soul) leaves their body ... that soul goes into some type of temporary body that can still feel, taste, smell, see, talk and are aware of their surroundings and has a memory. He gives the example of the rich man in hell ... he saw Abraham afar off as well as Lazarus who used to beg for the crumbs at his table. The rich man feels pain and the heat and wants water. He recognized Lazarus and he knew who father Abraham was even though he never met him. I thought that was interesting. The unsaved will still have their memory because he didn’t want his brothers to end up in the same terrible place as him. The believers in heaven are also in some type of temporary body as well - they can talk, laugh, see, eat, drink, etc. (he used the example that there was water in the temporary compartment (Abraham’s Bosom) for the rich man to want a drop of water. Geoffrey said only our (souls) go up and our flesh body just stays in the ground and the worms feast off of it as it decays and our blood stays behind as well. At the rapture the Lord is going to be putting back our bones together for our glorified bodies that will no longer feel pain, sickness or sadness. I Cor 15:50 He also gave his testimony ... I didn’t realize he was a Hollywood actor. The Night We Never Met (1993), Internal Affairs (1990) and Mr. Wonderful (1993). He started searching for Truth after his brother died (in his early 30’s) because he felt there was no guarantee he would live a long life either. After seeking every “religious” practice out there Catholicism, Buddha, Mormonism, JW, etc. - nobody could assure him of heaven until he opened a Bible and saw John 3:16. He gave up the Hollywood life and now his passion is soul winning and Bible Prophecy. Seems to have a reasonable perspective on death and spiritual bodies! Again, our glorified bodies will allow us to withstand the glory of God directly, as well as accommodating eternal life and the glories of Heaven! TR “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Daniel 12:1-2 Yes, of course there is a resurrected body for those who are lost. We can only surmise that their bodies will be suited for the environment they will be placed in for eternity. I do not think the demons will be given resurrection bodies, based on this: Lord, You will establish peace for us, The dead are referred to as "Rephaim." The Rephaim are also associated in the OT with Sheol, the place of the dead. They are said to be inhabitants of Sheol in the following passages: Isaiah 14:9; 26:14, 19; Psalm 88:10; Job 26:5-6; Proverbs 2:18; 9:18; 21:16. The Hebrew Rephaim is in every one of these passages, yet you would never see this in the English if reading translations like the ESV, NASB, or KJV. Instead, the ESV uses words like “shades,” “dead,” and “departed.” If we leave Rephaim untranslated, this may reveal the role of the dead giants in Sheol, which is distinguished from other dead beings there. The Rephaim are said to rise up to greet the Babylonians when they sink down to Sheol in death (Isaiah 14:9). The false gods that Israelites at times worshipped are described as dead Rephaim that will not rise (Isaiah 26:14). The Psalmist asks whether the Rephaim will rise up to praise God (Psalm 88:10-11; cf. 88:3). The other passages highlight the Rephaim as inhabitants of Sheol (Job 26:5-6; Proverbs 2:18; 9:18; 21:16). Isaiah 66:23-24 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Mark 9:47-48 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. IMHO, I believe they will be resurrected also, but their form may not be glorious. Do you think the fallen angels were good looking at one time and then, after they sinned, they became grotesque looking? All I’m seeing now advertised are alien creepy masks for Halloween. If the demons truly look like that ... it sure is getting the unsaved accustomed/conditioned to “not” being afraid of them when they come on the scene. All great input! I also agree with Geri7, alas Dante's Inferno! God in His ultimate justice will repay every evil and hurtful thing ever committed! All transgressions against Him and others! This is also why He stores our tears! TR I don't think the demons are the same as the fallen angels. I think they are the offspring of the fallen angels, as described in Genesis 6. 
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
For You have also done all our works [g]in us.
13 O Lord our God, masters besides You
Have had dominion over us;
But by You only we make mention of Your name.
14 They are dead, they will not live;
They are deceased, they will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to perish. Isaiah 26:12-14
