and in this state they were to remain until the judgement day of Christ; and at that day they were to receive a greater change, and to be received into the kingdom of the Father, to go no more out, but to dwell with God eternally in the Heavens.

Changes

aAnd in this state they were to remain until the judgement day of Christ; and at that day they were to receive a greater change, and to be received into the kingdom of the Father, to go no more out, but to dwell with God eternally in the Hheavens.

Simple English

They will stay this way until the judgment day of Christ. On that day they will get a bigger change. They will be received into the Father’s kingdom. They will never leave. They will live with God forever in the heavens.

Paraphrase

They would remain in this state until Christ’s judgment day. On that day they’ll receive an even greater change and be welcomed into the Father’s kingdom, never to leave again—dwelling with God forever in heaven.
