Have you seen it before? There is a wonderful movement throughout Scripture. From perishable to imperishable. Just as the first creation is perishable and the new creation will be imperishable; and just as the tabernacle (made of perishable skin) gave way to the (imperishable) stone temple; and just as Jesus’ human body died and was transformed into an imperishable glorious body, so too we have the same imperishable hope;

Now we know that if the earthly tent we live [ie the human body] in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. ² Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, ³ because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. ⁴ For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. (2 Corinthians 5:1-4)
