As moral beings who have known sin experientially, our greatest need is not the resurrection, but a restoration from the problem of sin, and its eradication from the life of the believer because it is the sin of our first parents which brought death to planet earth. Note God's intention for Adam and Eve at creation:
"Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began" Titus 1:1-2.
Therefore a solution to the sin problem is a solution to the death problem on planet earth.
The greatest threat to a full restoration of the Adamic race is the choice of alternate lifestyle from a renegade angel known as satan. It was he who tempted Adam and Eve to sin, and eventually die.
Weakened by an experiential knowledge of sin, there was no way he could fight sin and win. He needed someone who had not sinned before-- a savior--to help him.

God's reward of restored Eden will be given by Christ himself.
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
John 11:25-27.
The Bible speaks of two resurrections: one for the righteous, and the other for the wicked.
There is a thousand-year difference between the first and second resurrection.
But before the first resurrection takes place, there must be an examination of records to see who is qualified to be resurrected at Christ's second coming. It is during the time of the Laodicean Church, the last church, that Jesus will come a second time. We are living in the period of the Laodicean church (Revelation 3:14-19). Observe Daniel's account about the end times:
"And at that time shall Michael (Christ) stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Daniel 12:1-4.
Aren't we living in the end time?
It is important for all records of the faithful to be examined now to see who will be called to be part of the fist resurrection. There will not be enough time to do this when Jesus comes because he will call the redeemed from the air.
"Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death (hell) hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." Revelation 20:6.

Interesting that you should mention Jesus, and hell and resurrection, because I have notice that all Messiahs are dead men, whose imminent return are infinitely postponed to future dates. The end has been preached since before Jesus, and his later followers suffered and died under the same misapprehension. Forgive me if I doubt that he was resurrected in the first place, let alone "beaming" the faithful from the air at an imminent future date!
What should be a source of worry to all thinking people should be the actions of these messianic people, who hope for the world to come to an end. Self-fulfilling prophecies result when the alleged prophecies change behaviour!

All miracles (wonders) ascribed to god - the supposed creator of the "infinity" of space and time, the author of the laws of physics and mathematics, the maker of the intricacies of neurobiological processes - are ridiculously simple-minded: resurrecting the dead, walking on water, unnecessary interference in human affairs. As one great author puts it "these claims of miracles raise afresh the whole argument of divine omnipotence or even divine commonsense". Why? Because given limitless power, this so-called designer could confect more impressive miracles than are claimed!
As for the author of this twaddle, he can sod off!
