Hi Brakeman, it says "We shall be changed", it also says "Corruptible shall put on incorruptible".
This obviously is not a natural process.
Enoch believed that he would not see death, he was translated.
Elijah was "Caught up" (familiar phrase- Raptured) to Heaven in a whirlwind.
Jesus' resurrection body could walk thru a wall have dinner and walk back thru the wall.
He could materialize instantly from place to place.
Here is the deal-
in the epoch before the Flood, one guy- Enoch cheated the undertaker.
Subsequent to that, during the time of the Law, Elijah cheated the undertaker.
Now we are in the New Covenant (epoch?)- a Translation is due, it will not be a single person-
It will be a composite person- the Bride of Messiah.
Those who are ready will be caught up.
My understanding is those judged Innocent ( pray that you are ACCOUNTED worthy to escape all these things) leave before judgment.
This means the kids go with us.
They will come back with us at the 2nd Coming and they will live out natural lives in greatly extended life spans (like other natural, non translated people) during the Millennium Rest of God- the Restoration of all things. Back to the Garden of Eden state of things.
Minus the slippery subtle devil and his demons.
