the article addressed luke 20:34-36 and now they finally admit jesus could have been referring to the heavenly resurrection.
they said "put simply, the answer is that we cannot say" which is surprising because they have something to say about everything.
perhaps all the old people who are waiting the new world as widow and widowers want to know if they have a chance to be reunited with their dead loved one.
Thank you Splash - and keep in mind with these many flip-flops:

Remember the thread based on insider info from a Bethel HQ insider. It stated that the 144.000 would become SYMBOLIC within two years and to start looking for changes in doctrine that would lead up to that...Well this seems like a first change to support that change of direction.

exodus 9 then the lord said to moses, go to pharaoh and say to him, this is what the lord, the god of the hebrews, says: let my people go, so that they may worship me.
2if you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, 3the hand of the lord will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the fieldon your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats.
4but the lord will make a distinction between the livestock of israel and that of egypt, so that no animal belonging to the israelites will die.?.
Interesting thread. I also added it on JWR and got some great responses.

Nine months - from DC2008 until memorial 2009. Enough time to do prayerful reading & research of all facts and leave together as a family with wife and kids. Was not easy, but worth it...
