That was very helpful also. I want to be cremated and have my ashes spread on the Mount of Olives. That is a very interesting idea. How did you come up with it, and do you have a plan to have it done after you pass away? With the state of the world being what it is, while it is certainly possible you will taste of death, I like to hold on to the hope that Christ will return in our lifetime and that dealing with such matters will not be necessary, but then again, the early church was looking for his return as well so to be on the safe side, it never hurts to plan just in case. Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus. I heard(I can't remember if I read it in the Bible-I don't want to misquote-I might be wrong)that when Jesus comes back after the Tribulation, He'll set His foot first on the Mount of Olives. I might have this totally wrong and it might be totally silly, but thinking that I'll be rightthere when my body's resurrected and He'll be rightthere in front of fills me with glee. Now, for all you smart people out there-will our bodies be resurrected in the Rapture or at the Second Coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I want my ashes scattered over a major metropolis, like LA or NY, so even in death I can source of irritation to people! Just kidding...I think being scattered into the ocean is more my style.

Of course, I would desire for a "glorified body transformation" but if the rapture comes not in my lifetime, I would want those who disbelieve my "rapture story" to see my empty grave when Jesus comes to resurrect me. How then will they know that I was resurrected if my ashes are at the Mount Olives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
