Explanation:
The word soul is comes from the Hebrew word "nephesh".

If all the people who died are already in heaven, then what's the point of rising them from the dead to bring them in heaven?
According to Apostle Paul in Acts 2:29,34:

Ecclesiastes 9:5 "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing..."
