So you believe that Ezekiel saw a resurrection of the dead before the return of Christ? Real bones - real flesh. Well you're consistent - consistently wrong.

Hell Derived from the Saxon helan, to cover; hence the covered or the invisible place. In Scripture there are three words so rendered: 1. Sheol, occurring in the Old Testament sixty-five times. This word sheol is derived from a root-word meaning "to ask, " "demand; " hence insatiableness #Pr 30:15,16 It is rendered "grave" thirty-one times #Ge 37:35 42:38 44:29,31 1Sa 2:6 etc. The Revisers have retained this rendering in the historical books with the original word in the margin, while in the poetical books they have reversed this rule. In thirty-one cases in the Authorized Version this word is rendered "hell, " the place of disembodied spirits. The inhabitants of sheol are "the congregation of the dead" #Pr 21:16 It is: a. the abode of the wicked #Nu 16:33 Job 24:19 Ps 9:17 31:17 etc.; b. of the good #Ps 16:10 30:3 49:15 86:13 etc. Sheol is described as: a. deep #Job 11:8 b. dark #Job 10:21,22 c. with bars #Job 17:16 d. The dead "go down" to it #Nu 16:30,33 Eze 31:15,16,17 2. The Greek word hades of the New Testament has the same scope of signification as sheol of the Old Testament. It is a prison #1Pe 3:19 with gates and bars and locks #Mt 16:18 Re 1:18 and it is downward #Mt 11:23 Lu 10:15 The righteous and the wicked are separated. The blessed dead are in that part of hades called paradise #Lu 23:43 They are also said to be in Abraham’s bosom #Lu 16:22 3. Gehenna, in most of its occurrences in the Greek New Testament, designates the place of the lost #Mt 23:33 The fearful nature of their condition there is described in various figurative expressions #Mt 8:12 13:42 22:13 25:30 Lu 16:24 etc.

Alan - why are the righteous and wicked separated in the day of judgement - if they are all going to the same place? Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn. Notice it says "first the tares" the rapturists have it backward :-) Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Never knew means never loved - not - did not know about. Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: John 10:14 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me, Why this separation Alan?
