'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead men, but of living."
'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead men, but of living."
"Is not the reason of your mistake," answered Jesus, "your ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God? When men rise from the dead, there is no marrying or being married; but they are as angels in Heaven. As to the dead, and the fact that they rise, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God spoke to him thus--'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? read more.
He is not God of dead men, but of living. You are greatly mistaken."
He is not God of dead men, but of living. You are greatly mistaken."
"The men and women of this world," said Jesus, "marry and are given in marriage; But, for those who are thought worthy to attain to that other world and the resurrection from the dead, there is no marrying or being married, Nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God's Sons. read more.
As to the fact that the dead rise, even Moses indicated that, in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord--'The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' Now he is not God of dead men, but of living. For in his sight all are alive."

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called Sons of God.
The Spirit himself unites with our spirits in bearing witness to our being God's children,
And not for the nation only, but also that he might unite in one body the Children of God now scattered far and wide.
Nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God's Sons.
Yet not without the hope that some day Nature, also, will be set free from enslavement to decay, and will attain to the freedom which will mark the Glory of the Children of God.

Jesus Christ » History of » Tested by the sadducees concerning the resurrection of the dead (in jerusalem)
That same day some Sadducees came up to Jesus, maintaining that there is no resurrection. Their question was this:-- "Teacher, Moses said--'Should a man die without children, the man's brother shall become the husband of the widow, and raise a family for his brother.' Now we had living among us seven brothers; of whom the eldest married and died, and, as he had no family, left his wife for his brother. read more.
The same thing happened to the second and the third brothers, and indeed to all the seven. The woman herself died last of all. At the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be out of the seven, all of them having had her?" "Your mistake," replied Jesus, "is due to your ignorance of the Scriptures, and of the power of God. For at the resurrection there is no marrying or being married, but all who rise are as angels in Heaven. As to the resurrection of the dead, have you not read these words of God-- 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead men, but of living." The crowds, who had been listening to him, were greatly struck with his teaching.

There were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest took a wife, but died and left no family; read more.
And the second took her, and died without family; and so did the third. All the seven died and left no family. The woman herself died last of all.

Blessed will they be who wash their robes, that they may have the right to approach the Tree of Life, and may enter the City by the gates.
Yet there are some few among you at Sardis who did not soil their robes; they shall walk with me, robed in white, for they are worthy.

'These,' he said, 'are they who come through the Great Persecution; they washed their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. And therefore it is that they are before the throne of God, and are serving him day and night in his Temple; and he who is seated on the throne will shelter them. read more.
Never again shall they be hungry, never again shall they be thirsty, nor shall the sun smite upon them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb that stands in the space before the throne will be their shepherd, and will lead them to life-giving springs of water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.'
