The area of how some don't die and how their bodies are transformed, maybe need considering as well on this subject.

I agree Wotsup. Jesus was the first person to be resurrected to a spirit body.- 1 Pet 3:18; Col 1:18 It was unheard of in the OT. For that reason Paul was inspired to explain this "new creation" in detail.- 2 Cor 5:17. They were now accepted as part of God’s heavenly family. These will finally total 144,000. Rev 14:1
(1 Corinthians 15:35) Nevertheless, someone will say: “How are the dead to be raised up? Yes, with what sort of body are they coming?”
Why not read Paul's answer yourself. 1 Cor 15:36-57.
