In Loving Memory
April 29, 1947 - September 5, 2020
Update: On Saturday, September 5th, 2020, the founder, administrator, and head moderator of this forum, Valerie S., went Home to be with the Lord. Her obituary can be found on https://memorials.demarcofuneralhomes.com/valerie-skrzyniak/4321619/index.php.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .
Thank you, Valerie & Stephanie, for those gorgeous heavenly photos.
I was looking at those napkins on that long table, to see if I could see our given-names on them. But the way they're strategically placed, you really can't see the names on them, can you?
That is such a beautiful gate, isn't it? It's like the one I saw in my 2nd in a series of Rapture dreams; for which we were greeted by an angel holding a list of names he would check to see if our names are on it. He saw my name, and he let me in. After entering that gate, I saw a park-like setting...where we were told to wait. The end of my 2nd dream.
Anyhoo, I felt that I just had to share with you all what I saw in my 2nd (in a series of Rapture dreams).
Maranatha!

Kathy, I thought of this, your post, when the Jesus conveyed to me, His answer to my baffled line of thought about my lovable Humpty-Dumpty Wyatt Earp...and how He would put him altogether. Jesus has his soul, I have his sweet spirit, and his cremated remains are resting in the ground up in Colma (nr. San Francisco), CA, in a Jewish cemetary. That's what baffled me. Us being sooo faraway from Colma...what with us living many miles away in a different state, the state of Arizona, that is.
It's what you said--'A trumpet that is loud enough to literally wake the dead is "more" than loud enough to wake us (Wyatt, included).'
Jesus told me that His trumpet-sounding voice will indeed awake Wyatt's cremated remains from the dead; for which He will put him together in his beautiful new resurrected immortal body. When you (me) meet him in the air, during the Rapture, you will be very pleasantly surprised. So, have no fear nor doubt, Tammy.
I thanked Jesus for making it all too clear to me, and for easing my baffled mind about Wyatt.
So therefore--we really "must" be much closer to the Rapture than we thought possible. And hopefully (just as Cornelius said) in a couple days or so, or some time between Oct. 21-23, perhaps(
). Maranatha!

Yep, Jesus will indeed give a new body to even the dead Christians whose bodies have been cremated. It doesn't really matter whether you're buried or cremated; unless your body's been mummified, after a time, all that's left is a skeleton anyway. So Jesus will have to give new tissue to the bones when He resurrects the dead in Christ. I'm thinking that the only difference in the case of the cremated is that He will also have to give them new skeletons.
Hopefully & prayerfully, Kathy, they'll be wearing the same skeletal shapes "before" their cremations...especially their skulls' faces. Wyatt had a body on him that just wouldn't quit! When I first saw Wyatt being escorted to me, down this beautiful green hill by a pair of angels (with the beautiful blue sky, and trees on both sides) were on each side of him. I instantly recognized him.
He later appeared to me in another dream for which he proposed to me, I instantly recognized his sweet drooping mustachioed face. Wyatt was all spruced-up in his black suit w/black vest, white shirt w/his red ascot tied around his neck, that had a diamond-shaped stick-pin pinned on to it.
Jesus said that I will be able to recognize my beloved Wyatt, when I see him when we're Raptured.

Kathy & All--
Both Drs. Ed Young & Robert Jeffress touched on this very same topic this morning, on their prospective programs on TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network).
They both said (and I believe them...) that Jesus is the first born of the dead, for He conquered death. It is He, we are to look to to believe, b/c even His disciples & followers didn't recognize Him at first...but then they finally did. Thoughts of Mary Magdalene also came instantly to mind; when at first, she didn't recognize Jesus, until He spoke to her by saying her name, "Mary." She wanted to embrace Him, but He told her not to touch Him...for He hadn't as yet returned to His Father. He told her to go find His brethren (His disciples) to tell them all that she'd seen and heard.
In other words, we too will recognize our loved ones (even those whom were cremated) when we see them. We (even us whom are alive) will be made whole in our newly Raptured bodies.
Dr. Ed Young even said that there "will" be marriages in heaven; for God will be doing all the providing of our needs.
Plus, we will also be reunited with our pets too.
So therefore, I ask you. Doesn't that make you feel totally awesome or what!?! I "know" that that totally thrills me to NO end, that's for sure!!!
