In the miracles of the resurrection

 

I felicitate you brothers and sons on the occasion

of the Holy Resurrection Feast hoping for you and for

our dear country all the good and blessings and

praying that peace and love rule all over the world

and that God saves it from wars and diseases.

Now, I would like to say about resurrection that in

it will happen the most wondrous and comprehensive

meeting the world and the history witnesses… It will

be for all the righteous ones, a meeting full of joy in

Heaven and it will be for the evil ones, another

meeting in the outer darkness, out of the Saints’

Gathering. But today we will talk about the meetings

of the righteous ones.

􀀿 􀀿 􀀿

􀂙 The first meeting is the meeting of the spirits

with their bodies.

Every body will be raised healthy and fit, without

flaws, weaknesses, diseases or disabilities. It will be

raised as a spiritual body that is not controlled by

instincts or lusts, a one that does not resist the spirit

in anything as it used to do in this age! It is a

heavenly body that goes with life in Heaven. It has

nothing to do with the material or the Earth gravity.

For if it was material and under the power of Earth

gravity, it would have fallen from Heaven to Earth.

And the soul recognizes the body, and reunite

with it in real eagerness after being separated from it

since is death. And this has happened for a time in

which generations lived, then they came back

together again; and what a wondrous meeting…

􀀿 􀀿 􀀿

􀂙 The second meeting is the meeting of family,

friends and loved ones.

It is a joyous meeting, after the sorrow of

separation that death has caused them… In

Resurrection married couples will meet, sons and

parents will meet, grandchildren will meet

grandparents, and all relatives will meet together.

And the big family will gather with all its branches

and recognize each other, in spite of the fact that

generations exist between its youngsters and elders,

through which children has become elders…! And the

friends who were apart will also meet…

􀀿 􀀿 􀀿

􀂙 And in Resurrection, ages will meet with

ages:

The age of our father Adam and his son Abel the

righteous, will meet with the age of our father Noah

and his sons who survived the flood in the Arc, with

the age of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,

with the age of Prophet Moses and his brother Aaron

the chief priest and their sister prophetess Miriam,

with the age of prophet and king David and his son

Solomon the wise… and with other long ages that

came after each other…

Every age had its environment, characteristics

and characters… The head fathers will meet together,

each with his standing dignity and history. They will

recognize each other and exchange memories with

their respect to each other… These are characters

who lived thousands of years ago that will meet

through Resurrection together. And they have lived

before in different ages and circumstances.

􀀿 􀀿 􀀿

􀂙 Also in resurrection, all martyrs, righteous

ones and good ascetics will meet.

Martyrs of right, martyrs of religion and martyrs

of virtue. All martyrs: princes, simple ones, knights,

clergy men, women and children. Each with his/her

story and fighting, his/her martyrdom and courage…

All of them from ages of Nero and Diocletian and

others… All martyrs who fought against idolism,

communism, atheism and heresies… Along with faith

heroes who defended faith and bore for it injustice

and torture… How wondrous is the meeting of all of

them together, consoling one another with what they

achieved of glory in Resurrection.

All these meet with righteous people in all

generations who were examples in virtue and

asceticism, in courage and sacrifice, and in purity of

hand and body.

􀀿 􀀿 􀀿

􀂙 In Resurrection also meets people, races and

tribes.

From every language and color: the white, yellow,

dark and black races. The Aryan with the Niger,

Americans with Red Indians. All colors will meet

together. And I do not think that the people colors

will change in eternity! Those who were masters will

meet with those who were slaves but they will

become free in eternity. But everyone’s conditions will

be different in the other world.

􀀿 􀀿 􀀿

􀂙 Everyone will meet but not everyone will be

in one level.

The Miracle of Resurrection

in

7

The Divine justice will be reclassifying people so

that they become in levels that is different that where

they were at their Earthly lives. Everyone will be

reclassified according to their deeds and the purity of

their hearts. And as was said about people in eternity

that one star differs from another star in glory. But, in

spite of the different levels, everyone will be happy.

􀀿 􀀿 􀀿

􀂙 And maybe the most wondrous thing in all

these meetings is the meeting with angels.

God’s Kingdom in Heaven includes people and

angels. And so people will meet with archangels

Michael and Gabriel and the other archangels, with

the Cherubim and the Seraphim and all the

uncountable crowd of angels in Heaven’s Force…

What happiness and what glory may be in this

meeting and what spiritual gestures may exist?! Here

and I stop explaining because the scene is far

superior beyond description…!

􀀿 􀀿 􀀿

􀂙 Resurrection meetings include: a big

introduction ceremony in Heaven:

Will a group of angels be introducing all those

who were raised with those who preceded them? Or

will God give people a spiritual sense through which

they will recognize each other?

Or will every saint, for example, have in his look

something that distinguishes him and identifies him?

Or will there be another means through which

people will be introduced to each other? I do not

know.

The most important thing is that there will be a

big introduction ceremony in Heaven, between people

from the past and those who were raised recently. It

may take a longer time that is hart to count…

􀀿 􀀿 􀀿

The most important thing in this meeting is

how will people interact in Heaven?

Will it be by spirit? And what will that

language be?

Will it be the heaven’s language? Or the angel’s

language if angels have one?

Or will they realize what each of them wants to

say to the other without talking?

And what will be the topics that Heaven’s people

will talk about?

Will everyone be singing a single song and a

single praise? And what will it be? And who will lead

this praise? Who will be writing the words? And who

will be writing the music? Who will be putting its

music? And who will be adjusting its rhythm?

􀀿 􀀿 􀀿

Excuse me my brothers if I have to go down from

talking about Heaven to talking bout our lives on

Earth and ask for our country peace and stability

under the leadership of HH President Mubarak and all

Egypt’s loyal soldiers.
