John 18:36 Jesus
answered, MY kingdom is not of this world: if MY kingdom were of this
world, then would MY servants fight, that I should not be delivered to
the Jews: but now is MY kingdom not from hence.

When Jesus returns, the dead in Christ will awaken and rise to be with Jesus in the air.
π₯ I Thessalonians 4:13-17 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM. For
this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive
and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (go before) them which are asleep. For
the Lord HIMSELF shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
And at that time, Jesus will send HIS angels to the earth to gather HIS elect to bring them into the air.
π₯ Matthew 24:31 And
HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they
shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of
heaven to the other.
We will all be changed into spiritual bodies, no longer having these fleshly bodies.
π₯ I Corinthians 15:49-53 And
as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image
of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We
shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, 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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
God will destroy this present heaven and earth.
π₯ 2 Peter 3:10-14 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that
are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these
things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all
holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming
of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be
dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless
we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look
for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace,
without spot, and blameless.
We will be taken to the new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.
π₯ Revelation 21:1-5 And
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first
earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the
holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of
heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will
dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God HIMSELF shall be
with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are
passed away. And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
