 (2) The change called death; the change from the abode of the soul in the physical body to another body. As [[Saint Paul|Paul]] said, “There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial.”<ref>1 Cor. 15:40.</ref>
-There is no sudden change at the moment of transition called death. As we are at the moment of passing, so we are when we behold the other side. There is no miraculous transformation. We do not suddenly become saints in heaven when we have not been and had no inclination to be before. This reminds us of the passage from the Book of Revelation, “He which is filthy, let him be filthy still;... he that is holy, let him be holy still.”<ref>Rev. 22:11.</ref>
