Patriarch Kirill of Moscow believes that after the Second Coming, people will be able to go through walls, as their bodies will not be subject to the laws of nature.
“The transformed body is no longer subject to the laws of nature, it is a human body. This is really a great mystery, according to the words of Saint Paul the Apostle, which is revealed to us today in the commemoration of the Ascension of the Lord and Savior,” said Patriarch Kirill.
The remarks, which sparked much debate and comment, followed a service by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church at Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Moscow on June 10.
Those who passed away will be resurrected with their bodies, and those who will live until the last moment of human history will have their bodies changed. They will be other bodies, bodies real but similar to that of the Savior after the Resurrection.

The transformed body is not subject to the natural laws but is a human body. Such a great mystery is revealed to us today in commemoration of the Ascension of the Lord and Savior,” said Patriarch Kirill.
The head of the Russian Orthodox Church also stressed the sermon on the day of the Ascension of the Lord should teach Christians to seek beyond the limits of human life. In his view, those who are limited to ground goals “lose irreparably.”
