Hi Jeremy,
Indeed this is my view, but looking at the Scriptures there are certain things that I see.
If He does, then is this resurrected flesh "immortal flesh"? Can it be hurt?
Mankind only has to go through a physical death "once." So...
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men
once to die, but after this the judgment:
When Christ returns to rule this earth it will be a vastly different world than we know now. And the way it looks to me, Christ will not allow people to harm one another anymore.
Rev 21:1 Now I saw a new heaven and
a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
v. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
v. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
v. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes;
there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
There shall be no more pain (toil, that is, (by implication) anguish: - pain), for
the former things have passed away."
v. 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."
The earth may look pretty much the same, but the nature of things will be changed.
Isa 11:4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
v. 5 Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,
And faithfulness the belt of His waist.
v. 6 "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.
v. 7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
v. 8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den.
v. 9
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.
Isa 35:1 The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them,
And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;
v. 2 It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice,
Even with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
The excellence of Carmel and Sharon.
They shall see the glory of the LORD,
The excellency of our God.
v. 3 Strengthen the weak hands,
And make firm the feeble knees.
v. 4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted,
"Be strong, do not fear!
Behold, your God will come with vengeance,
With the recompense of God;
He will come and save you."
v. 5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
v. 6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the dumb sing.
For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness,
And streams in the desert.
v. 7 The parched ground shall become a pool,
And the thirsty land springs of water;
In the habitation of jackals, where each lay,
There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
v. 8 A highway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray.
v. 9 No lion shall be there,
Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;
It shall not be found there.
But the redeemed shall walk there,
v. 10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return,
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness,
And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
As you can see from these Scriptures there is some incredible changes that will take place on this earth when Christ returns. I know that all of these things have spiritual meaning, but the Scriptures also have a physical/literal implication as well.
Just some food for thought
mercy, peace and love
