17 And he said to the man, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘Do not eat from it’: The ground is cursed because of you. You will eat from it by means of painful labor all the days of your life.19 You will eat bread by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground, since you were taken from it. For you are dust, and you will return to dust.”

52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. 53 For this corruptible body must be clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body must be clothed with immortality.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:52-53 (CSB)

 

MATTER IS NEITHER CREATED NOR DESTROYED, IT IS ONLY TRANSFORMED

ANTOINE LAVOISIER, 1785

 

FROM DUST WE WERE TAKEN, TO DUST WE RETURNED, BUT FROM DUST WE WERE TRANSFORMED.

WHERE THERE IS A COVENANT, THERE IS COVERING. WHERE THERE IS BLOOD, THERE IS A BOUNDARY.
