How are translated beings similar to resurrected beings?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Trans­lated beings serve as types and shadows of celestial resurrected beings. … Like translated beings, those who are resurrected do not experience physical pain, and Satan has no power over them. Resurrected personages have the power to hide or ‘veil’ their true identity from others, as do those who have been translated. And resurrected beings possess power over the earth’s elements; there is no power on earth that can hold them. The same is also true of translated beings” (Parry and Parry, Understanding Death and the Resurrection, 178).
