Interesting. Possibly not the place for a theological debate, but he wouldn't have had atrophied muscles - he was brought back to a healthy body, otherwise he would still have been dead. And it seems unlikely that he would have ben taken from heaven. I don't really know, of course.

Not wanting to debate either, but I fear Emma-jay is being a little too picky about a few medical facts getting in the way of a good story.
And when I say good story, I mean it. Good poem, good extension of many ideas probably never expressed before.
I expect next we'll hear from a non-believer complaining that you've given new life to old beliefs we're trying to kill off or let die away. But resurrection is an ancient and classic theme in most cultures and seeing it in this fresh perspective is good for all concerned.

I like it.
'Vex not his ghost: O, let him pass! he hates him much
That would upon the rack of this tough world
Stretch him out longer.' --Shakespeare, King Lear
Good thought.
