death Life resurrection in christ

truthquest asked this question:
Christians - Do people have any consciousness of

time between death and their resurrection?
For example, Moses, King David, or even those

destroyed in Sodom or someone that died 5 minutes

ago.

Do any of them have any conscious thought in the

grave?

Will their next conscious thought be when they are

resurrected?

I answered, after one revision,:
yes
first jesus says though a spirit be in hell if he call

upon the his name, he shall be saved, though he

were dead he would live in the spirit
he also talked to moses and elias on the mount of

transfiguration before the resurrection

John 11: 25
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the

life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead,

yet shall he live:

Matt. 17: 3-4
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and

Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it

is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make

here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for

Moses, and one for Elias.
Mark 9: 4-5
Luke 9: 30, 33

now, again, while it is proven that people have

existence in the spirit world before the resurrection,

it is ALSO written that some do not live until after

the first resurrection

Rev. 20: 5
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the

thousand years were finished. This is the first

resurrection.
this does NOT mean thy have no knowledge or

existence (it does mean that the resurrection is

called life and death is called separation of the body

and the spirit)
