The intermediate state is the period between death and resurrection. The condition of the person in the intermediate state is debated. One theory is that the person is without a body yet is conscious and that he will receive his body at the resurrection. Another theory states that the person has a different sort of spiritual body that will be lost at the resurrection when the body and soul are reunited (2 Cor. 5:1-4).
