Celestial Bodies
Holman Bible Dictionary
Paul contrasted celestial bodies (sun, moon, and stars) with terrestrial bodies in explaining the difference between the present human body (physical) and the resurrection body (spiritual body, 1 Corinthians 15:35-50 ). The two types of bodies are of an entirely different nature; one weak and perishing, the other glorious and eternal.
