Rise and die.
We are born, live for a while, then die. There is nothing before or after for us.

To a NON-Believer there is death...and descention into outer darkness
to a Believer there is NO DEATH
the Spirit rises from the body
and the body is left behind
its just like standing up , just without the confines of the shell you once was in.......
To rise , and be present with the Lord
(death as it is recorded in the bible to a believer is SLEEP)
One shuts thier eyes here , and opens them THERE !!!
But to a Non-Believer...
I assure you there is a conscience of knwoing when your eyes close here....and even tho you cannot see all things ...yourself can...it you KNOW where you are , you hear where you are...and the Hopelessness and fear and seperation is REAL and KNOWN........it is not a Nothingness as you try and make yourselfs believe....YOU KNOW and YOU FEEL....YOU JUST CANT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.......
(LITERALLY)
DEATH is SURE.....so is its fear and knowledge of your seperation........and the FEELING KNOWING where exactley you are.........YET without the ability to get away !!!!!!!!

When a man is born again, the spirit that is in him that is dead because of sin is renewed, made alive again through the quickening spirit, Christ Jesus. Yet, the spirit is not risen as one would consider the resurrection.
An important thing to know is that if the spirit of a man remains dead and the man's soul is called of God, dying in the flesh, his soul, spirit, that is dead goes to the place where the unrighteous dead are being reserved until the day of judgment.
And the man who is dead will never see the resurrection. He will never receive a new body that was resurrected on the day of resurrection.
So a man must be born again. And if the man who is born again dies in the flesh, because his soul, spirit is alive, it is taken to the place of the living, heaven, and awaits the day of resurrection where the spirit, soul, where it will be put into it's incorruptible body that was resurrected on the day of resurrection.
We all will face physical death. Yet, if a man is born again, his soul, spirit will never die and goes to be with the Lord.

You could die first then rise...If you rise first then you will not die but be changed from mortal to immortal

Anil, the understanding of the resurrection is highly misconstrued by many who interpret it literally. Yes one must achieve what the resurrection means before they die, or there is no resurrection. The reconstitution of ones form is referring to birth - you must achieve this reconstitution, this harmonious nature as you live, bringing all natures that compose you into oneness again into the center of your being. You being man are in charge of bringing the upper and lower into oneness, resurrecting what has been separated into a reconstituted whole.
Its the reconstitution of ones from into its original original, to be resurrected is to be reconstituted to a form of fullness, to a form of connectedness. If I am resurrected, or if I achieve the resurrection, I am being brought into harmony, like he movement of parcels going through resuscitation (since all are died unless in the spirit of the ideal) and uniting in a balanced accord making way for a specific level of what is alive. So the resurrection can be said to happen at all times, that we day in the night and rise in the day, or rather each they were are evolving, the resurrection takes place between the multitude of our world as we strive for the kingdom to manifest in us those parcels move through being rebuilt and brought into accord in the hopes that we can raise into a fullness of being. And thus it is said in Phillip Gospel, "Those who say that first they shall die and (then) they shall arise are confused. If they do not first receive the resurrection (while) they live,¹ they will not receive anything (when) they die."
The thing is that most don't understand that they are already dead, the walking dead, they must become alive, be born again.

In order to rise we must leave behind all that is of this world, It is something that happens simultanously. Our essence leaving our body causes this body to stop, so we rise as we die.

It makes more sense, die first and then rise up...you know we die once and live twice....i think thats pretty cool.

Born into a state of death the believers spiritually rise up and most will physically die, some may not taste of physical death whereas the spiritually dead get to die twice.

One can't "rise up" (as in resurrection to eternal life) without dying first. Christ died and then rose again. Christians have "died" in a spiritual sense at conversion, which is what baptism symbolises: our death to the sin nature and resurrection in Christ. But the true eternal life will be fully ours when we leave this world for His Presence.

One is blessed to be born in a human form through good Karma and then through his deeds he scripts his destiny. There are millions of life times in which humans have to learn and evolve towards the ultimate liberation from this eternal cycle of birth-life-death-rebirth. This dying and rising up goes in cycles.
