       Matthew 17: 1-3 "1 Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. 2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him." This passage reveals that we will recognize our beloved in eternity, much like the disciples witnessed the great prophets Moses and Elijah during the transfiguration of Jesus. The divine purpose was for the disciples to embrace Jesus as the Messiah and to bear witness to His might, revealing a vision of the heavenly realm where we will acknowledge those who have listened, testified, and held steadfast faith.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 Reminds us that those who trust the Lord will be reunited with loved ones in heaven one day. "16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so, we will be with the Lord forever."

1 Corinthians 15:42-44 "So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body."  

​The passage describes the rebirth of the body and its transition into a spiritual form, where our unique souls are brought together with the divine and our cherished ones in the everlasting world of heaven.
