==========================================
Lewis Sperry Chafer refers to
2 Corinthians 5:1–5 when he explains "the concept of
an intermediate body between death and resurrection":
At the present time believers are in an "earthly tent" (v. 1), but they long for their "heavenly dwelling" (v. 2). References to believers after death but before resurrection all seem to suggest that they have a body, as in the case of Lazarus (
Luke 16:19–25). When Moses and Elijah met with Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration, they were represented as having bodies (
Matt. 17:1–3;
Mark 9:4;
Luke 9:30). In
Revelation 6:9–11 [and 7:13–17] the martyred dead . . . are represented as wearing robes and being before the throne of God. Though full revelation was not given in Scripture concerning the exact characteristics of these bodies, apparently they will not be suited for eternity for they will be replaced by resurrection bodies.3
This conscious, intermediate state is
not an intermediate cleansing place between heaven and earth, like purgatory, a concept that is never found in the Bible and contradicts the gospel. Rather,
it's a temporary body,
======================================== but that would be the "traditions of man"
So then what does the actual BIBLE say in
2 Cor 5
For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens. 2 For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, 3 inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked. 4 For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is
mortal will be swallowed up by life.
2 Cor 5 does not tell us of THREE bodies - only TWO.
And the second one is NOT temporary - rather it is
a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens -- nothing temporary about it in the actual text!
1 Cor 15
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory.
so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. 2 Cor 5
Revelation is a lot of symbolism.
