"Resurrection" means to pass from death to life,

Physical death is a natural process, where the fruit (the spirit) is harvested from the soil (the flesh) and lives eternally in the eternal spiritual realm.

The death caused by the Fall is spiritual death.

The source of life, both in spirit and in flesh, is God, the Father.

Falling into a state where the heart cannot open to God, cannot connect with God, cannot receive God's light and truth and love freely and naturally is spiritual death.

Spiritual death caused humanity to be derailed from the process of naturally growing into maturity and oneness with God.

If the first human ancestors had maintained their faith in God's word to "not eat" then they would have naturally and automatically grown through the process of maturing their spirits (hearts) to come into complete and perfect oneness with God.

Through disbelief, humanity fell to BELOW the point they were created at, and this opened the spiritual realm of hell.

God's providence for the resurrection of mankind BACK to our original state (before the fall) occurs in three key stages.

Up until Abraham, the providence was simply to return a central person back to the original starting point, where the process of resurrection can actually begin, and the "Word" can be given. Resurrection requires the "Word" because belief is required.

God providence starts from a central person, and expands through a family, then a clan or tribe, then through a people (and ethnic group), through a nation, to the whole world.

From Moses, who came as the fulfillment of Abraham after 400 years of payment of Abraham's spiritual debt (because he failed in his first offering), resurrection could be achieved on the first stage, a formative stage. Israelites believing in God's word through Moses resurrected to this level, and enjoyed a master-servant relationship with God. (Their hearts became capable of that level of relationship.)

From Jesus, believers could achieve resurrection in the growth stage, by believing in the Gospels, and can enjoy a adoptive father - adopted child relationship with God. (Aka we are born of a different lineage - the fallen lineage of Adam and Eve, but through Jesus, we are reborn and adopted into God's lineage, God's direct family, of whom Jesus is the First Born.)

When Christ returns, and reveals all the hidden truths of history and providence, those who believe will be resurrected to the final third stage, growing beyond what Adam and Eve ever achieved, and complete the process of growing into full and complete oneness with God the Father, becoming the second born after Christ, and being able to enjoy a perfect True Father - True Child (no longer adopted) relationship with God, even as Jesus Christ does.

Revival, ascension, etc, are simply other terms that in the end mean 'resurrection' is taking place, where we move away from Satan's realm of death in spirit and in flesh, into God's sovereign realm in spirit and in flesh.

In the second stage, resurrection only takes place spiritually, because the flesh is still under Satan's dominion, because Christ had to sacrifice his own flesh in order to secure our spiritual salvation. When Christ returns, the flesh will also be liberated from Satan's claim, and we will experience full and complete resurrection in spirit AND flesh, as God's true (no longer adopted) children.
