Actually, all of these questions
are answered in the Bible.
...someone dies their spirit leaves them.. where does it go?
This I'm not sure of but I will try to find something. There is something similar to what we think of as purgatory. The word "Sheol" means
grave or
graveyard but refers to a waiting place after we die. Not 100% sure on that though so you can take that however you please.
No.
Revelation 20:12 -
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. (NASB)
This doesn't happen until after Satan is bound.
What about during the rapture when it says the dead proceed the living?
The dead will be ressurected and judged before the living. When Jesus returns he will make a new heaven and a new earth and there will no longer be any death or mourning(Rev 21:4).
Is that their physical body?
When the martyrs of the tribulation period are ressurected they will have flesh again. God's purposes never change. His original purpose was for us to have dominion over the earth and everything in it. He gave us flesh because we need flesh in order to be in the physical realm. That is one of the reasons why God had to come to us in the flesh.
When we live on earth with Jesus for his 1000 year righteous rule that will only be believers?
That will only be the beheaded ones during the tribulation.
Revelation 20:4 -
Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Will that be spiritual or physical bodies?
Once again, I believe that it will be physical.
What about all the children that their parents never believed? They will of course be raptured with us its not their fault no one taught them.
You hit it right on the head. God knows this and they will not have to deal with the second death(as far as I know). My understanding of it though is that when God speaks to them they will still have to choose to follow Him because of freewill. The only thing is, when He speaks to them they will understand because God speaks to our spirit, not our flesh. They may have had a child's body and understanding but the spirit is linked to God.
I always thought we died we went to be judged sent where we went and then when he came back he came back to get believers that were alive, destoryed the world and built a new one. We stayed in heaven and the world started over just as it did before.
Again, judgement for us all comes at the end. The first one to go to the Lake of Fire will be the Beast and the False Prophet. Then it will be the dead whose names aren't in the Book of Life. Next will be Death and Hades, and Lastly will be Satan
after the thousand year reign of Christ. I don't believe that we will stay in heaven because, like I said before, God's purposes never change. He purposed us to have dominion over the earth so that He could spread
our reign into the physical realm. I say
our reign because God doesn't want to reign alone. God is love more than He is anything else. True love isn't selfish. God wants all of us to reign with Him. That is why He is called
Lord of Lords and King of Kings. He even refers to us as gods (Psalms 82:6).
I hope this helps you on your journey to finding the right answers.
God Bless!
Those that are reading this, I hope I dont confuse you by what I am asking.
