"But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep."
I Corinthians 15:12-20
"However, I (Paul) admit that I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that agrees with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked."
Acts 24:14-15

By the power of God, For if this same spirit that dwells in Christ, also dwells in us, He will bring us forth. The 1st resurrection is in 3 steps, Many has fail to see this., I will explain. When Christ rose from the dead, the bible says & also the graves were opened, Who is the graves. When Christ died, he went into hell(paridise) to preach unto the souls in prison(Confinement) You are looking at none other then those OT saints, Step 2, The dead in Christ shall rise first, The rightious saints will be resurrected, then Those foolish virgins & those who will give their life during the great tribulation, Which is step 3. Now all rightious soul is reunited with their immortal bodies. Now the 2nd resurrection will be after the millieunnium, You can find that in rev. Chapter 20

Hi,
I'll read you verses from the bible that answers what you don't understand yet.
There's a resurrection of the dead in the bible. Let's read in John 5:28-29 the Lord Jesus Christ said,
"Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment."
So there's resurrection of the dead.
You will face judgement seat of Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:10
"For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
In Revelations 20:11-13 it says,
"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. "
If you do good, you'll be brought to eternal life. but if you do evil, you'll suffer everlasting punishment.

How? - When? - Who? - Where?
1). By the power and favor of God.
2).When Jesus the Christ returns to earth.
3).1st, all 'true believers', who have truly repented and 'proven' to believe and honor God and Jesus Christ. - - 2nd, (after the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ here on earth), ALL who have ever lived and died; (the 'second' resurrection); and they will be called to the 'truth' and unto judgement.
4).All will be raised from the graves right here on earth...to join the actual 'Family of God', (if they truly submit and believe); - and then to enter, not only the 'kingdom of God' here on earth, but,finally, to experience the 'new heavens' and the 'new earth', forever, as well.
IT'S ALL IN THE BIBLE. Read the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Revelation!

Yes, resurrection for the chosen people & those that have repented. And resurrection does not only mean a rising of the dead, but also a revival or to rise again which could refer to a fallen people.

That is apart of gods mystery. As the Quran says Allah makes the earth live after it was dead, he makes it rain. So try to envision spirit forces coming down as rain and entering where our souls departed and we ressurect, Or what if we are brought to the holy temple when we are ressurected
