At the resurrection we will receive glorified bodies. So what age will they be?
I'm just speculating, but it's written:
And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah. (Gen 23:1)
So maybe we will have the wisdom of a hundred year old, the innocence of a seven year old, and the youthful vitality of a twenty year old.

What amazes me about Sarah is that she was hot at an old age, past child bearing age. Appearances must not have changed as much with age back then.

If Jesus was resurrected with wounds,
won't we be resurrected with wounds?
John 20:27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

People quote this text all the time about the resurrection. Why was Jesus resurrected with wounds if we are not?

Jesus retained his wounds to prove who he was. Why would we retain any wounds? Do we all even have wounds? Where does this theology come from?

Also, it's disrespectful to call Sarah "hot".

I normally like reading the rules and adding myself to every subforum area I wish to talk in, but I really don't know where this thread is put, so I will just respond to this now.

Please let me know in here where I should check in to become a part of this area? And if this isn't allowed that I made such a post like this, then please correct me on this.

I wanted to respond to this thread as I just had this on my mind earlier today, especially I wondered about how we would look like in heaven, when getting our new bodies.

When the Father looks at us He will see His Son Jesus Christ. It is said that He and His Son looks very alike, same way I believe it was with the first Adam too. His resemblance must have looked very much like God, having been the first human made and then also made in His image.

Then if you look at families, most of the time you will see a similiarity between a father and a son, or a mother and a daughter, among brothers, among sisters, as well as throughout the family line whether far or near. Isn't it special how God made it so? That families have an resemblance to each other, same way as He and His Son has this too?

We will be known and recogniced in heaven, how we will be seen up there we don't know, yet I find this part of the bible interesting:

Isaiah 65:17-25

The Glorious New Creation
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;
And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing,
And her people a joy.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem,
And joy in My people;
The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her,
Nor the voice of crying.

“No more shall an infant from therelive but a few days,
Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;
For the child shall die one hundred years old,
But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
They shall build houses and inhabitthem;
They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
They shall not build and another inhabit;
They shall not plant and another eat;
For as the days of a tree, so shall bethe days of My people,
And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
They shall not labor in vain,
Nor bring forth children for trouble;
For they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord,
And their offspring with them.

“It shall come to pass
That before they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will hear.
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
The lion shall eat straw like the ox,
And dust shall be the serpent’s food.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,”
Says the Lord.

Isaiah 11:6-9

“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.


Especially the last parts indicates there will also be small children and infants in heaven.

Also this part of the bible came to mind:

Matthew 17:1-3

"After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus".

Here it is clear Jesus's disciples recognized Moses and Elijah. Even though some may indicate this was before Jesus Christ got ressurected, and thus Moses and Elijah was still down in hades or sheol? Waiting for the final moment of Jesus Christ's Victory, where He also would overcome death!? Or they might have been all of this time together with God. They did appear in a way which made them well recognizable.

What will be the most important for us, is being together with our God and Saviour! How we will look and what age appearance we will be having, will not be as important to us. As all of our focus and devotion is to be set on only Him! :hearteyes:

We won't age. Maybe we will appear ageless, who knows?!

We can't appear exactly as we do in this life, because our bodies will be free from all the sin and damage that is in this world. No paralysis, no deformities, no bits that don't work properly.

Whatever we end up looking like, it will all be wonderful. And we will be with Jesus. That's all I need to know for now! Probably we will be so busy looking at Him that we won't even be thinking about what we look like ourselves. Face to face with Jesus - who's going to be worried about what age they look like?!

Time (age) and eternity are direct opposites. We have eternal life at the level only God deserves. In the resurrection/rapture we will have an eternal (ageless) body like Christ.
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)

So are you saying Jesus' resurrection was only to prove to the Apostles who he was and not to show how we will be resurrected?

Same manner.
Also, it's disrespectful to call Sarah "hot".
Not as bad as passing off your wife to the king as your sister because she was the most beautiful woman in the land.
