If a person is a follower of Jesus, we can rejoice that when he dies, it’s not the end and his spirit will continue in Jesus’ presence though his body was not healed.  (Take your questions about why he wasn’t healed to Jesus and his word—not to the “traditions of men” or your imagination.)  However, the idea that the physical body (and thereby physical healing) is less important or unimportant, that only the spiritual counts, doesn’t come from the Bible but from Gnosticism, which taught that material things are evil and only the spiritual is valuable.  Paul warned Timothy about such teachings. (1 Timothy 6:20, 21)

Physical healing was/is so important that Jesus considered it proof that he was “the one who is to come”. (Luke 7:20-23)

If a person has died, (sorry to have to put it so bluntly) his body is not healed; it is dead until the last day when it will be renewed.

The Bible does not portray death as healing— Jesus never said, Ah, because this person has died, she has received the ultimate healing. In fact, Jesus raised every dead person he encountered. The Bible does say that death is an enemy—the last one for Jesus to destroy. (1 Corinthians 15:26)  While death is not our friend, Jesus removes the sting of death by receiving his followers’ spirits on the other side of it.

The Resurrection of the Dead on the final day is the ultimate healing.
