When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.(12:25)
Jesus’ answer was continued. There will be neither marry nor be given in marriage at the day of resurrection. It is right. The marriage now is a necessary custom to proliferate our descendant biologically. As resurrection is totally different world of life from such level, so marriage is totally unnecessary thing. I think I explained marriage too much in functional way. We also have to think the love between man and woman and meaning of family. These are another theme and it is better to keep it aside from here. The coherent of today’s content is talking about the destiny of the brothers at the moment of resurrection, died without descendant.
Resurrection is not reincarnation of the present life but the incident of total change into new life as if a larva changes into a butterfly, an egg into a bird and a fetus comes out from the womb. The new life begins, totally different from the life we experience now and here. We cannot find out the analogy of being (Analogia entis) of the life here. The resurrection of the Bible can be understood only through such qualitative differentiation.
The content of today compares it to the angels in heaven. It says we become the angels when we will be resurrected. The Bible doesn’t say much about the angels. If we see it on the whole, the angels used to be described as the messengers to deliver God’s will to man. It was the angel Gabriel who delivered the message to Mary and Joseph to have a son. In Greek myth, Hermes had taken such role.
Does angel exist? Such question doesn’t have much meaning. The answer will be varied according to the meaning of existence. For us to be the angels at the time of resurrection means our qualitative change. The difference of change transcends our imagination. It might be the difference between we who are absolutely ruled by space and the angels for whom moment space movement is possible.
