I CORINTHIANS - CHAPTER 15

I Corinthians 15:1 says, "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;" Understanding Father's Word is what makes you a christian. That means you are understanding His Truths established on our "Rock, who is Christ Jesus." Biblical knowledge is what gives you the unction of the Holy Spirit to "stand" against satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ.

I Corinthians 15:2 says, "By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain." When you believe Father's Word, Christ Jesus is your salvation since after He was crucified, He arose, defeating death, who is satan.

I Corinthians 15:3 says, "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;" Christ Jesus, "Emmanuel" which means "God with us", sacrificed His Perfect Self on that cross [Psalms - Chapter 22], taking our stripes, that we may receive the healing and approach the "Throne of Almighty God" seeking repentance for our sins.

I Corinthians 15:4 says, "And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" Christ Jesus arose on the third day, defeating death [satan] as is taught in "Hosea - Chapter 6 {2} and Luke - Chapter 18 {33}."

I Corinthians 15:5 says, "And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:" Peter and all of the disciples saw Christ Jesus after His transfigured resurrection [Luke - Chapter 24].

I Corinthians 15:6 says, "After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep." Father God knows who is very elect are and some of His children saw our Lord Jesus Christ after His resurrection, and now they are with our Lord and Father God in Heaven since they passed away in the flesh.

I Corinthians 15:7 says, "After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles." I Corinthians 15:8 says, "And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time." Christ Jesus, after His crucifixion, arose from the grave within His transfigured Body, defeating death who is satan, and many witnessed this "Miracle of Life through Father God." Paul, as us, did not get to walk with Christ Jesus as a disciple, however our Lord appeared to Paul on that road to Damascus [Acts - Chapter 9]. Christ Jesus appears to all of this generation who study Father's Word since our Lord is our "Living Word."

I Corinthians 15:9 says," For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God." Paul was zealous with his involvement with persecuting christians until Father God touched him and brought about His conversion to the Truth of our Father's Word. Paul was worthy and our Father blessed Him with many gifts, having the ability to teach on three levels and he as well scripted, by the blessings of the Holy Spirit, most of the "New Testament of the Holy Bible." When Father is ready for His very elect to begin "His Ministry", our LORD will take hold of you, and your true works will begin.

I Corinthians 15:10 says, "But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which [was bestowed] upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." As Paul, when you are of the very elect of Father God, you never take credit for your gifts since Father God and He only is worthy to be praised because all things accomplished are by the "merciful, loving, kind, and trusting Hand of YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty."

I Corinthians 15:11 says, "Therefore whether [it were] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed." Father will chose whomever He will to see to it that "His Good Gospel" is taught throughout the whole earth for any to receive who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

I Corinthians 15:12 says, "Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?" If you believe Christ Jesus arose from the grave, how is it that there are those who believe that their loved ones are buried within that coffin that has been lowered into the earth. Absent from the flesh body is present with our LORD within your spiritual body.

I Corinthians 15:13 says, "But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:" If you believe that any who have passed away are lying within that coffin, you likewise must believe Christ Jesus did not rise from the grave. Have you never read "I Thessalonians - Chapter 4, the subject being "where are the dead, those who have shed their flesh bodies."

I Corinthians 15:14 says, "And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain." If any, notably the very elect, do not believe that Christ Jesus rose from the grave and that any who have passed away in the flesh likewise have, then all of us are playing church; playing christianity since there would be no foundation for our belief or teachings.

I Corinthians 15:15 says, "Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not." Therefore, if you say that those who have shed their flesh bodies are not with Father God and Christ Jesus in Heaven, then what is being taught is a lie. Absent from the body is present with our LORD [Ecclesiastes - Chapter 12 {6 & 7}].

I Corinthians 15:16 says, "For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:" Any who have passed away have risen just as our Lord Jesus Christ, which means as soon as the flesh body is deceased, the spiritual body rises and takes it place in Paradise with Father God.

I Corinthians 15:17 says, "And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins." If Christ Jesus did not rise from the grave defeating death, ascending to sit at the "Right Hand of His Father in Heaven", then repenting of sins would be a waste of time since the fulfillment of the crucifixion and resurrection was not complete.

I Corinthians 15:18 says, "Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished." Therefore, if those who have passed away are likewise laying in a coffin, having no hope, we might all as well just live the life since once we pass away, there is nothing left for us either, except for that coffin in the ground.

I Corinthians 15:19 says, "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." If we do not believe that absent from this flesh body is present with our LORD, having no expectation of being with Father God, we would be very unhappy children believing this is all there is.

I Corinthians 15:20 says, "But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept." Christ Jesus opened the path for all of Father's children through His resurrection to become a part of Eternal Life with our Father God.

I Corinthians 15:21 says," For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead." Death came to be when Cain murdered [sin, the wickedness of satan] His brother Abel {very elect}, and death [satan] was defeated through our Lord Jesus Christ when He was crucified and rose from the grave.

I Corinthians 15:22 says, "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." All of humankind who pass away, be they of the very elect, murderers, people of little or no faith, the rich, poor, the indifferent; no matter who it is or what their living accomplished while walking in the flesh, when that flesh body passes away, each and every soul returns instantly to our Father God Almighty. All souls created will stand before the "Great White Throne Judgment of Father God" at the appointed time, which is at the end of the Millennial Kingdom teaching when our LORD returns to this earth with all of His Heavenly hosts.

I Corinthians 15:23 says, "But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming." The "firstfruits" are "Father's very elect" who were chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age [Ephesians - Chapter 4]. The very elect were chosen first from the Spiritual or First Earth Age and are the last chosen in this Flesh or Second Earth Age since this is the last generation and they must "stand" against satan, the anti-christ, when he and his entourage are cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind. Then when our True Christ returns as "King of kings and Lord of lords" to claim His bride, the very elect, they shall reign with our Lord during the Millennial Kingdom teaching.

I Corinthians 15:24 says, "Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power." At the end of the Millennial Kingdom teaching, Christ Jesus will deliver His Kingdom to our Father God Almighty for the Great White Throne Judgment. The "Full Godhead" will be in place after that time since there will no longer be a need for salvation.

I Corinthians 15:25 says, "For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet." Christ Jesus shall reign until satan and all those who chose to follow this dead man walking have received their judgment to become ashes from within, which is the death of the soul {second death}, for they are the enemies of our Father God Almighty.

I Corinthians 15:26 says, "The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death." Christ Jesus taught this in Matthew 10:28 which says, "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." "Him" is "Father God Almighty." The second death is death of the soul [Revelation - Chapter 20], which satan has already been condemned to [Ezekiel - Chapter 28].

I Corinthians 15:27 says, "For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him." It is the very elect who shall put the enemies of Father God under the feet of Christ Jesus when they "stand" before satan's synagogues, witnessing the Truth of our Father's Word, the Holy Spirit speaking through them what "thus saith our LORD."

I Corinthians 15:28 says, "And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all." After all is said and done, Father God having extended His love, grace and mercy to His children, there shall be "One YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty" possessing the souls of His children as all who remain magnify our LORD.

I Corinthians 15:29 says, "Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?" If you do not believe Christ Jesus rose from the dead and that your loved ones who passed away are still in the ground where they were buried, why would you want to be baptized in the "Name of Christ Jesus" when He is as dead as those lying in the coffin. What purpose would it serve if you do not believe Christ Jesus rose and is now sitting at the "Right Hand of His Father" since there would be no eternal life.

I Corinthians 15:30 says, "And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?" All of the many very elect as Paul faced death everyday they preached and taught of Christ Jesus, just as the very elect of this generation as they are made light of by those playing church. Why would we teach, share and plant seeds of truth if our Lord Jesus Christ had not rose and defeated death, who is satan, offering salvation to all who will come unto Him. The very elect proclaim Christ Jesus, the love of Father God and the blessings of His Holy Spirit because we know and believe the very Word of our Father God Almighty that resides within our spirits. Only a fool would place their life in jeopardy for emptiness. Father God is our LORD of the living and of Life Eternal for all who magnify Him.

I Corinthians 15:31 says, "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily." The very elect will face death, who is satan, when he is cast to this earth as the anti-christ, the first false christ . They will rejoice in the service of Almighty God when the Holy Spirit speaks through them, testifying of Father God Almighty and rejoicing as many come to understanding the Truth of His Word. It would not be of any worth to stand before satan and give a testimony of our Father God if there was no spiritual life after death of the flesh.

I Corinthians 15:32 says, "If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die." Why would the very elect, as Paul, spend so much time planting seeds of truth, teaching our Father's Word if it were not true, that death of the flesh body brings you into the presence of Almighty God within your spiritual body. If there was no spiritual life after the flesh perishes, all might as well live life as they please since there would be no eternal life.

I Corinthians 15:33 says, "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." Socializing and participating in churches teaching the doctrines and traditions of men is a mar to your spiritual character. The purpose of the very elect being in the presence of the Biblically illiterate is to plant seeds and teach truth.

I Corinthians 15:34 says, "Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame." Righteousness is believing and following the Christ-like path, not false teachings, and repenting of sins since the flesh will surely fall short no matter who you are. There is only One Perfect and that is Christ Jesus, our Living Word.

I Corinthians 15:35 says, "But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?" The question asked is, if the flesh body died and was buried, then what body is it that comes alive and rises? That is to say, what happens to the flesh body after it perishes and the soul after it leaves that flesh body.

I Corinthians 15:36 says, "[Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:" "Quickened" means "to cause to live, awake, make alive, give life." Clinically, when the flesh body passes away and returns to the dirt from which it came, your spiritual body rises alive, it lives and immediately returns to Father God.

I Corinthians 15:37 says, "And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]:" It is necessary to understand that each person has two bodies, one of the flesh and one of the spiritual. Just as a seed planted dies so the embryo within it can grow into that beautiful golden wheat, the flesh body must perish so that your spiritual body can raise up into its new form and return to Father God. Flesh and blood {flesh} cannot inherit the Kingdom of Almighty God.

I Corinthians 15:38 says, "But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body." Father God has given to each and every one of His children a spiritual body that lives when the flesh body passes away.

I Corinthians 15:39 says, "All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds." That is to say we do not all look the same since people and animals of land and sea, do not have the same physical likeness.

I Corinthians 15:40 says, "[There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another." "Celestial" means "existing in Heaven" and "terrestrial" means "existing upon the earth." Therefore you have a celestial body, which is spiritual {for Heaven} and a terrestrial body which is physical {for earth}.

I Corinthians 15:41 says, "[There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory." Father calls His children "stars" in "Job - Chapter 38 {Verse 7}." Just as each of the stars of the sky are different, so are Father's children, humankind, and each one of those stars, Father's children, were created for His splendor, His pleasure.

I Corinthians 15:42 says, "So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:" "Corruption" means "perishing, liable to die" and "incorruption" means "perpetuity {time without end}, immortal." That is to say the flesh body will expire and your spiritual body is eternal, raising immediately from the flesh body that passed away, returning to our Father God.

I Corinthians 15:43 says, "It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:" The flesh body has issues, aches, pains, sinful, all kinds of problems since it will surely fall short of the glory of Father God. The spiritual body is free from the misery of the flesh since it "raised up by through Christ Jesus" by the "Power of Almighty God."

I Corinthians 15:44 says, "It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body." The "natural body" which is your flesh body, when it passes away, awakens your spiritual body as is taught in "Ecclesiastes 12:6 & 7", and returns to Father God.

I Corinthians 15:45 says, "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit." Adam {Garden of Eden} was created from the dust of the earth into a flesh body and possessed a spiritual soul, however "Christ Jesus, the Only Begotten Son of Father God, the last Adam" was a spiritual soul "from the beginning."

I Corinthians 15:46 says, "Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual." All of humankind was first within a spiritual body in the First or Spiritual Earth Age, before being born from above into this Flesh of Second Earth Age. The Three Ages are taught of in "II Peter - Chapter 3." Because of the rebellion in Heaven during the Spiritual or First Earth Age, our Father, loving His children so much, allowed each and every soul to be born from above through this Flesh or Second Earth Age to chose to love and follow after Him or to follow death, who is satan. All of humankind, except for the very elect, have free will, which is that freedom to chose Eternal Life or death of the soul. Father wants His children to love Him from their own hearts and not because He commands or forces you to do so. Father God is natural and forcing love would not be acceptable in His sight.

I Corinthians 15:47 says, "The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven." Humankind was created in flesh bodies from the dust of the earth and that is why when it perishes, it goes back to the earth and your spiritual body awakens. Christ Jesus, our Perfect One, was a spiritual soul from the beginning.

I Corinthians 15:48 says, "As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly." Your spiritual body does not have the issues of the flesh body, which lives to please itself, always requiring something of a carnal nature to keep it happy. It is your spiritual self that takes hold of your flesh body with constraints for you to commune with Father God and put the desires of the flesh on the back-burner.

I Corinthians 15:49 says, "And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." When you shed your flesh body, you are as the angels within your spiritual body. Not all angels as all those of the flesh, are of our Father God since we know the fallen angels were not obedient to our LORD and shall become ashes from within because of their disobedience. While the laws of our Heavenly Father keep the earthy flesh body on the right road if you are obedient, repenting when you stumble, communing with Father God, studying His Word will keep your spiritual self as the loving angels who surround the "Throne of Father God Almighty."

I Corinthians 15:50 says, "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." There is no way for any of humankind to enter into the dimension of our Father God in Heaven unless the flesh body passes away. When that happens, your spiritual body awakens and rises up to the dimension in which our Father God resides.

I Corinthians 15:51 says, "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed," Not all of humankind shall pass away in the flesh since there will be many people living throughout the whole earth when Christ Jesus returns as "King of kings and Lord of lords." However when our Lord's feet touch Zion, all flesh shall take on their spiritual bodies. Romans 14:11 says, "For it is written, [As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." It is impossible to be in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ within your flesh body.

I Corinthians 15:52 says, "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." When that "Seventh Trumpet" sounds, Christ Jesus returning to this earth, all flesh shall be shed and their spiritual bodies shall be awakened.

I Corinthians 15:53 says, "For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality." All those living in the flesh will most certainly shed their flesh bodies and their spiritual bodies shall awaken when Christ Jesus returns, however not all will have an immortal {everlasting} soul. Any who bowed a knee to satan believing him to be our True Christ here to rapture them away, and did not know our Lord Jesus Christ until seeing Him return, although they will have a spiritual body, will also possess a mortal [liable to die] soul. Only the very elect and those who recognized satan for who he is "before" seeing our True Christ return will have both a spiritual body and immortal soul; this is the "First Resurrection [Revelation - Chapter 20 {Verses 5 & 6]." It is because of those who played church and allowed themselves to be deceived that our Father God, loving His children so much, blessed them with the Millennial Kingdom teaching so they have the opportunity to come to the knowledge of the truth and overcome the "Second Resurrection [Revelation - Chapter 20 {Verse 7]" when satan is loosed for a short time after the one thousand year teaching. If you are not ignorant of our Father's Word, this teaching should dispel the fly away, any moment, rapture lies taught by the Biblically illiterate who use "I Thessalonians - Chapter 4 {Verses 13 - 18}", in which the "subject" is "where are the dead and why those who have passed away are with Christ Jesus when He returns."

I Corinthians 15:54 says, "So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." When your flesh body shall be transformed to your spiritual body and your liable to die soul shall take on your everlasting soul, the purpose for which Christ Jesus was born from above and sacrificed on that cross at Calvary has been accomplished as death, satan, has become ashes from within and exists no more [Isaiah 25:7 & 8].

I Corinthians 15:55 says, "O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory?" Death, who is satan, has no victory since Christ Jesus defeated him on that cross at Calvary. Hosea 13:14 says, "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes." Father God is saying He is definitely going to destroy death, who is satan. Also, any who after the Millennial Kingdom teaching, when satan is loosed for that short time, decide to follow him, that will be death of their soul {second resurrection} as well.

I Corinthians 15:56 says, "The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law." "Sting" means "to offer vain and perilous or ruinous resistance." "Strength" means "moral power and excellence of soul; abundance." The law, Father's Commandments and His Holy Word, let us know when we have sinned and repentance is offered through Christ Jesus. Therefore, the law is good and people are bad, therefore you want to understand Father's Word so you know when you have broken the "Commandments of Father God Almighty and come before His Throne to seek forgiveness."

I Corinthians 15:57 says, "But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." There is only one way to overcome the flaws of our flesh beings, the sinful nature within us, and that is through "Yeshua, Christ Jesus who now sits on the Right Hand of Father God in Heaven, as our Intercessor." Salvation and Anointing comes to all of humankind from our Father God through Christ Jesus.

I Corinthians 15:58 says, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." When you live your life centered around Father God Almighty, doing His will, being a part of His Perfect Plan, having that veil of protection, you are blessed. All the works accomplished for our Father God is the garb, that fine linen of your robe in the Heaven or Third Earth Age [Revelation - Chapter 19]. There is only one thing you take to the Heavenly Age and that is your righteous acts as {works} taught in "Revelation 14:13." There are bountiful blessings when you study to show yourself approved, are a part of the Perfect Plan and "stand" for "YAHOVAH Father God Almighty."
