Jesus died on the cross, or pole if it suits you better, He is not about to return as Jesus. The dead remain dead, the spirit moves on. ------------------------ You're on the right track.
1Peter3:18 For Christ died once for all time for sins,+a righteous person for unrighteous ones,+in order to lead you to God.+He was put to death in the flesh+ but made alive in the spirit.
Jesus was the first to be resurrected to life as an immortal spirit person. There will be a total of 144,000 that will follow. For the rest that have died a resurrection to endless life on earth is possible if they are righteous.
