"Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself."
I think the Saints are in heaven but will come back with the Lord to get their bodies what will be changed.
Also I heard this saying while I wasn't listen very well to a person (William Branham,I think) who had a heavenly experience he was told this by a Saint in heaven.
This is a poignant, soul-baring moment from the apostle Paul. He is not suicidal, but he is honest about his deepest desires. He would rather be with the Lord than in his mortal, burdened, groaning, dying body. For the first time in this chapter, he describes being in his future, eternal body with Christ as being "at home." He is utterly convinced that it is where he is headed. Heaven is where he is meant to be forever. Paul's faith that the glory of his eternal life will far outweigh and outlast the suffering of earthly life makes him want that life more than this one. Of course it does. How could it not?
That same faith, though, gives him courage. Knowing his eternal fate is secure gives him fearlessness to keep going in this life. It emboldens Paul to stay on the path God has called him to. He is not actively seeking death; he is simply ready to go whenever God calls him home. Until then, he will keep working at what God has given him to do in the here and now.
Consider how many times Paul was beaten up, jailed, threatened with death; in shipwrecks, no donkey; walking all over the Gentile nations. Never having enough money to help others he met on his travels.
(1.Thes 4:16) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of
the archangel, with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Please explain the difference.
Thank you and God bless you

He had a mouth but I truly admire him.
