This document discusses the resurrection of the dead and the nature of the bodies we will have. It notes that 1 Corinthians 15 discusses the resurrection of individuals, while Revelation 21 discusses the new creation and resurrection of all. It contrasts the perishable, dishonorable, weak natural bodies of our current state with the imperishable, glorious, powerful spiritual bodies we will have in the future. The document then references Revelation 21:1-2 which describes a new heaven and new earth with no sea and a new Jerusalem coming down from heaven. It concludes by referencing Revelation 21:3 and 22:5 which describe how God will dwell with humanity in this new creation, and there will be no night but God's light
