Do you believe if it is meant to be God will return someone to you?
If it is part of God’s will and plan.

The word translated as "resurrection" comes from the Greek a-na'sta-sis, which means "raising up or "standing up again." A person who is resurrected is raised up from death and restored to life as the person they were before.
[b]1 Corinthians 15:12, and 13 (NLT)[/b]
[quote]But tell me this--since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead? For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. [/quote]
Although the word "resurrection" is not in the Hebrew Scriptures, often called the Old Testament, the teaching appears there. Through the prophet Hosea, for example, God promised: "From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; from death, I will recover them." [b]Hosea 13:14 (NLT)[/b]
There will be those who will be resurrected to Heaven and those who are resurrected back to life on Earth just as we were originally purposed to be before Adam and Eve ruined that with their defiance. However, both Jesus and God are giving us another opportunity to gain what was lost.
[b]Revelation 20:6 (NLT)[/b]
[quote]Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them, the second death holds no power but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.[/quote]
The later resurrection will be to life on earth, which the vast majority of those brought back to life will enjoy! [b]Psalm 37:29 (NLT) [/b][quote]The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.[/quote]
