Simmons view specifically counters the view held by most Full/Hyper Preterists which specifically place the resurrection (1 Cor. 15) as being fulfilled in AD70. Please note, the view Simmons holds now is not a Full/Hyper view as it places the resurrection as the passing of the last remnants of the old man (ie Death). Kurt Simmons "Thus, we plainly see that the promise of resurrection is the promise of eternal life in heaven. This world is set over against that world; this life against that life. Unless and until we attain unto that world, we have not attained unto the resurrection from the dead."
" Matt. 22:30 says “in heaven” – children of the resurrection are as angels of God in heaven. Resurrection now therefore means heaven now. The notion that believers are in “heaven now” was circulating a few years ago. This is the basis of that error: if you believe we have resurrection now, you must affirm we are in heaven now, for the children of the resurrection are as angels in heaven. Therefore to be raised is to be in heaven; but if we are not in heaven, we have not yet been raised. This pretty much disposes of the “corporate body” view; it simply cannot get over the hurdle that Paul and Christ place the resurrection in the next life in heaven, not here on earth."
"God has giving living men a lively and living hope of an inheritiance incorruptible, in heaven. Notice that word ‘incorruptible’ – an incorruptible inheritance requires an incorruptible body. So, when Paul says flesh and blood – the tangible, corporeal, material, visible, and corruptible body of this earthly existence - cannot inherit the spiritual realm of above, he speaks to man’s ultimate home in heaven. Material bodies, by definition, are bounded by time and space; but spirit is not bound this way. Therefore, in order to even enter the realms above, man must shed his mortal body. This is the resurrection promised believers and the one discussed in I Corinthians 15."
