Let us take a look at the teaching of the Resurrection and paint a picture.

1. Let us start from the beginning and find instances of life coming into man and get some
definition.

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

2. Here we see breath coming into a man and him living. let us take a look at this definition of this
event
of breath of life coming into a being.

nesha^ma^h
nesh-aw-maw'
From H5395; a puff, that is, wind, angry or vital breath, divine inspiration, intellect or (concretely)
an
animal: - blast, (that) breath (-eth), inspiration, soul, spirit.

3. Here we see breath is associated with wind in description of what is happening let us keep this
in mind
the rest of this teaching. and let us move on to find other references to life coming into people and
find
Resurrection events lets look to the following verses.

Ezekiel 37:1-10 1The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the
LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open
valley; and, lo,
they were very dry.

3And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou
knowest.

4Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear
the word of the LORD.

5Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye
shall
live:

6And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and
put breath
in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

7So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a
shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them
above: but
there was no breath in them.
9Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind,
Thus saith the
Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and
stood up upon
their feet, an exceeding great army.

4. We see here a type of Resurrection occurring that has same description of the event of life
coming into
something and using the word breath lets look at this definition to continue to get a clear picture
of
description of the event of Resurrection.

roo'-akh
From H7306; wind; by resemblance breath, that is, a sensible (or even violent) exhalation;
figuratively
life, anger, unsubstantiality; by extension a region of the sky; by resemblance spirit, but only of a
rational being (including its expression and functions): - air, anger, blast, breath, X cool, courage,
mind,
X quarter, X side, spirit ([-ual]), tempest, X vain, ([whirl-]) wind (-y).

5. We see that breath is used in this as well as another meaning for the sky. keep this in mind its
very
important for later in the teaching to understand why this could be confusing. let us travel further
on over
to see what other Resurrection events we can find to see if they use similar expressions.

Revelation 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them,
and they
stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

6. We see in this resurrection of these two witness;s the Spirit of life comes into them. lets look at
the
definition here for Spirit of life see what it means in Greek.

pneuma
pnyoo'-mah
From G4154; a current of air, that is, breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively a spirit,
that
is, (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or
(superhuman)
an angel, daemon, or (divine) God, Christ’s spirit, the Holy spirit: - ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually),
mind. Compare G5590.

7. Remember we just heard that the breath of life in past definitions could be misconstrued as
wind and a
region of the sky as well as its real definition of breath, we see here it also means air that is
breath as
a description of this Spirit coming into the two witness's at their Resurrection let us travel deeper
and
find out other events of Resurrection to see if it also happens in those as well.
8. In this following verse many have taken out of context to call it a separate event then what it is
this

is called the Resurrection at the second coming in context to the scripture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-
18)

1 Thessalonians 4:17 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.

9. Let us look at this word air since we saw that there was a breath air wind connection to all the
other
Resurrection definitions for life coming into them could there be a connection maybe what people
have been
interpreting painting an image of Christ in the air is a bad interpretation let us look at see if we
don't
find a connection let us look to the word air in this verse.

aer̄
ah-ayr'
From ἄ ημι aē mi (to breathe unconsciously, that is, respire; by analogy to blow); “air”
(as naturally
circumambient): - air. Compare G5594.

10. So we see a respiring breath that could be badly translated in English as air in the
sky. but
the event is talking about a Resurrection. so we have to use the context to define the
translation not jump
to conclusions that this means air in the sky . lets see if we cant find more convincing
evidence of this
let us look more in this verse lets see what the cloud means.

nephelē
nef-el'-ay
From G3509; properly cloudiness, that is, (concretely) a cloud: - cloud.

11 .This is a cloud that we are caught up to. lets see what other clouds in an event
that Christ ascends and
descends could we find for bible to bible interpretation and see if there's a better
image to paint other
then rain clouds in the sky.

Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up;
and a cloud received him
out of their sight.

12. Here we see Christ ascending in a cloud in similar context but the opposite of
descending we see him
ascending keep in mind this cloud what is it a rain cloud? or a glory cloud. let us see
if this word has a
same definition as the word in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 for cloud.
nephelē
nef-el'-ay
From G3509; properly cloudiness, that is, (concretely) a cloud: - cloud.

13. We find it to be the same type cloud. not let us find another verse see if we cant
find what type
of cloud this is to paint a better picture of this event .

Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and
behold a voice out of the
cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

14. So we see here a cloud of glory and lets see if this is the same type cloud Christ
could be ascending
and descending in let us look at the Greek.

nephelē
nef-el'-ay
From G3509; properly cloudiness, that is, (concretely) a cloud: - cloud.

15. We find this is the same definition as this cloud and its looking like its not a rain
cloud in the sky
we meet Christ in. it appears to be a cloud of Glory. now this in mind. let us look at
what happens before
the Resurrection before Christ comes in this cloud of glory .

1 Thessalonians 4:16 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:

16. Here we see our Lord descends from heaven first lets look at this word for
descend and see if it means
to step down from heaven.

katabainō
kat-ab-ah'ee-no
From G2596 and the base of G939; to descend (literally or figuratively): - come (get,
go, step) down,
descend, fall (down).

17. Just as says it means to step down. where else can we find similar instance of
some one stepping down
from heaven to find out if this event has happened before and if they stepped down
where too.

Matthew 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord
descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat
upon it.
18. We see the angel stepped down from heaven to earth with the same Greek word
for descend. ok let us see what the bible says about Christs ascension and
descending on Jesus's going into heaven and returning see what the bible says.

Acts 1:9-11 9And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken
up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men
stood by them in white
apparel;

11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this
same Jesus, which is taken
up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into
heaven.

19. We see here a glory cloud took Christ up from earth to heaven. without no stops.
and the angel says
there's going to be same return of Christ. bible interpreting bible is convincing for
me now lets us paint a picture of what the bible says is going to happen on Christs
return according to what we have found in definition.

Jesus Christ returns steps down from heaven the trumpet blows and the dead are
raised. and those who are
alive at the Second Coming will be caught in the cloud of His glory in the breath of
life that is occurring during the Resurrection.
