Question:
Let’s say someone elderly dies. At the resurrection of the dead, will that person have the same body as when he died, or will he have the body he had when he was young?
Answer:
At the resurrection of the dead, all who have died will receive back their body. Those who are saved will have their bodies glorified. We don’t yet know for certain what our glorified bodies will look like, but we do have one clue from Christ’s resurrection. His glorified body still retained the wounds of his passion (John 20:24–28). If this is a pattern for our own glorified bodies, then it may be that we will retain the marks of our own suffering, in a glorified form.
