My uncle's battle with cancer ended today, he sufferd a lot I can't imagine the pain he went through, but through his suffering he never cursed or denied God, My grandma was beside him, my grandma told he saw someone standing wearing a white garment at 3:00AM in the morning. And he passed away after one hour. Miss you soo much uncle,You are with Jesus now.
The Luke 23: 42-43 passage is controversial but putting that aside for the moment, where in the Bible does it say that you and I will go to heaven when WE die? The answer is, it doesn't.
It’s not that I want to die. But I now long for the time to meet Jesus in heaven. For I would rather be with my savior right now, but I know He has work for me to do. The day will be so incredible when we get to be in His perfect, beautiful, precious, presence. The one who has loved us and even when we didn’t.
@sleekz Squeeze I ask the Holy Spirit, sent by God , who is our advocate, great counselor and helper to reveal to me God's Word when I need help understanding. He sent us the Holy Spirit to allow communication and make possible a relationship directly with God, with our Lord and savior Christ Jesus. Do not try to be fancy with words, or even impress others in public. I get on my knees and thank Him, praise Him first..Then just open your heart and talk to Him, ask Him for instructions or revelation for you. That is all He wants, worship, repentance, obedience, discipleship, and ultimately love for Him and others. Hope that helps brother🙏
@sleekz Squeeze that is a good question, I just watched a video on when we die, do we immediately see Jesus? I'll try and get it to you. What I believe and what scripture says is we will all be judged. Once appointed to die, then the judgement. Brother if you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, know that he died on the cross for you and me, and rose again on the 3rd day, defeating death, then you will be saved. All that call upon the Lord shall be saved. The simple things you must do as a believer is A. Repent of your sins. We are all sinners that broke God's commandments and we are guilty. The wages of sin is death as Paul writes in the book of Romans. None of us are worthy, our own righteousness is like that of filthy rags,...as Isaiah writes.. Here's simply what we must do. Repent of our sinful ways...Abandon lying, stealing, killing, cheating,abusing, taking advantage of the weak, lustful thoughts and actions, pornography, hating someone, the commandments outline them clearly. Turn 180 degrees from the devil's temptation and turn to what Christ directs you to be. 2nd, ..believe that Jesus is the son of God, sent to teach us and most importantly die for us , be for OUR sins, that we may be made righteous and acceptable before God. 3rd....turn our will and lives over to Him, Jesus, not our own desires and will for our lives but His. He is the one who gives us the free gift of life, salvation, a relationship with Him forever. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the father but by Him. It's so simple brother, ask Him to come into your life and renew you. Be born again of the Holy Spirit, which God will send you and trust and follow your God and savior , Jesus Christ. You will be a new creature in Christ and given everlasting life. You will thirst no more. I live in my Bible, the Word of God is all you need
My father said just before he died.."The dear Lord Jesus" My son passed away 25 Feb this year when I found him I immediately heard the hymn ,"safe in the arms of Jesus" in my head.
● In 2 Corinthians 5, verse two, Paul explains that he is talking about Christ’s 2nd coming. ● In verse four he explains that he is NOT talking about dying and going to heaven. ● And verse eight does not say, or mean "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."
@@poundtrader1414 Thank you for writing, P. T. I regret that I don't understand what point you are trying to make relative to my comment on II Corinthians 5. Can I get you to elaborate for me?
When my aunt was terminally ill, she'd always ask my mum: "How can you claim that you don't see all these angel singing with me?" My mum brought a 'Man of God' to pray for her, but she asked him "You can see these angels, why would you want me to stay on earth. Please, pray that I will be allowed to go now. She died that very day!

@@caitlinmaynell2780 The original text wasn't in English. It was in ancient Greek, It was Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἀμήν σοι λέγω σήμερον μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἔσῃ ἐν τῷ Παραδείσῳ... I'm not an ancient languages scholar, but a WHOLE lot of experts in ancient Greek, are pretty certain as to the clarity of this translation of the scripture.
My Mom had a heart attack when she was 30 year's old and she said she woke up in a field of flowers and Jesus told her it wasn't her time yet and she closed her eyes and woke up on the hospital Gurnee and I believe to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord Jesus Amen 💖🙏
My father had pretty much the exact same experience when he was pronounced dead after hanging himself in jail,just minus Jesus to my knowledge. insane………
I flattened when I was going thru chemo because of the treatments for breast cancer. That afternoon nurses were coming in my room asking me what I saw.I saw my mom and and other figures. They were telling me to go back.That happened in 2008.

I died from a massive stroke. I immediately transitioned into the Lord's Presence in heaven. He let me come back for my daughter. My eyes rolled forward in my head like a slot machine when I returned. Everyone knew something had happened. I had been in the Presence of Love, and my faith was one hundred percent regarding answers to every prayer. Every prayer was answered, and I knew each one would be. Amazing!
@@elimarc3891 It was a choice that the Lord had foreknowledge of. And, I was, of course, obligated to my daughter. She needed me. She would have given up and died. I'm all she had.
Viva Trump: A big hug? Yes you can! The answer to the question of this video title is 'YES' and anyone who says anything different does not know what they are talking about just as the other imbecile here speaking of 'resurrection' and 'physical bodies' clearly has no comprehension whatsoever of what Heaven is or any the other realms and places under creation -- which are all ACTUAL PHYSICAL PLACES or for that matter the actual nature of time and how it works in each place neither the actual physics behind how it is that you are each place. All of these I very well comprehend and need not guess or speculate having died 7 different times each different ways and literally back from the grave. Those that think of heaven as some kind of 'spiritual place" are also clueless. Spirit is only in reference to the vantage perspective of here on Earth ironically which has no baring or relation whatsoever just as Earth time is independent and no way connected. If it helps to understand; everyone who would ever visit Heaaven is now this moment already there but also here. God is many places at once, ironically so is man just simply unaware when limited to the ignorance of having only the understanding and experiences of the Earth alone. Another way which might help for people to comprehend is in many ways it is like taking a nap where you of course remember your entire real life all along when you wake up feom the brief nap as well any of the dreams while napping. In much the same way is Heaven where your real life all along is in Heaven already there and never been anything different while the dream is here on Earth. The actual truth and explanation is very difficult to explain to mortal humans who have never known death but this is the closest way I can explain in terms that people will mostly be able to understand in terms they can relate which by the way is what the Bible is actually doing as well trying to explain this particular concept to people who had even less understanding of this particular subject than those today attempting to explain in terms their mortal brains and only known experiences could best comprehend even though everything written concerning this particular subject in the Bible is about as far off actual reality as one can get but the people did not need to understand the technicals just as most people today do not either. That said though back to what I originally told you -- Yes, you can HUG Jesus and contrary to misconception, Heaven is an actual real tangible and non-spiritual physical place and yes you are there immediately instantly upon dying here. That said, another side footnote is that is not where people belong and anyone there is also just visiting as it is God's home residence and there is a completely separate realm for people that most people on Earth tend to confuse with Heaven. There is no such thing as "going to" these places as you are already there but both of these matters are each more lengthy lectures upon their own.
The same explanation as how my grandmother explained it to me 22 years ago when I was 10. When the body dies, the soul will be with Jesus, and when Jesus will come back, God will rise the dead bodies first and their souls will reunite with their dead bodies and they will become "glorious bodies". They are the first to rise and then the living believers of Christ will altogether meet Jesus in the clouds and take them with Him with a glorious bodies, one that will live eternally. Thanks Pastor John. - Leilani Duclayan
stacy lynn I Thessalonians 4:13-18 is a wonderful piece of Scripture that speaks of Christ coming in the clouds and what happens. I believe it speaks of the rapture or when we are taken up off this earth by Jesus whether we are dead or still alive. The Scripture says it plainly. I hope you are encouraged by this.
No Yam, not your soul goes to be with Jesus ,it is your spirit. read your bible, and pick a bible that has not been re written, we are made up of three parts, body,soul and spirit. when we die we will still be waiting for Jesus to call us out of the grave and at this time we will be changed in a moment and we will be like Jesus with a new body, a spiritual body,because flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God we get our change at the rapture. this event is only for believers ,the rest of the people are not raised until after the 1000 year reign for judgement.
During my NDE I screamed for Jesus to save me from demons trying to pull me to hell and he came to me and touched my hand and I came back he never said a word and for some reason I couldn't see his face but I knew it was him, and when I came back I told the male nurse standing next to me on the table that I just died I knew I died and needed no one to tell me what happened and I gathered from this that yeshua was trying to let me know he is the way to the father but you need to believe in his sacrifice and he Rose from the Dead and we need to live the life he wants us to before we die and go there because if not those demons are also what's waiting there, please here what I tell you this is the truth.
When you don't understand the Nature of God, which is INFINITE, INCORPOREAL, OMNIPRESENT CONSCIOUSNESS, the Activity of Your God Consciousness will entertain that GOD/OMNIPRESENCE has an opposite, which you call Evil/SATAN....! God is too Pure to Behold Iniquity, and therefore, God knows nothing of the Dualistic Beliefs of Man with Breath in His Nostrils!!
When Jesus died and was buried, and was risen from the dead on the third day, when we die we will go straight to heaven because we have the Holy Spirit that will take us there. 🙏
The Old Testament believers will be raptured up first... The believers of today that accepted Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins; like was mentioned will go to heaven when they die. The ones that did not get saved for the forgiveness of their sins will go into hell.
When my Brother died before my eyes, I saw and heard his last words, they were " Jesus! Jesus? Is that You??? Oooohhhhh Jesus !!!!!!!"" I was there I saw and Heard Him speak those words. In the very moment of RAYMOND, s death he found life with Jesus our Lord.
Jesus said “All who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth” (John 5:28, 29). “David … is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. … For David did not ascend into the heavens” (Acts 2:29, 34). “If I wait, the grave is mine house” (Job 17:13 KJV). People do not go to heaven or to hell at death. They don’t go anywhere-but they wait in their graves for the first or second resurrection.
Paul said, I would rather be absent from the body, and be present with the lord. Not scripture to say, - To be absent from The body is To be present with the lord.
@@lonniehall9006 You are just splitting hairs with your criticism. If you want to quote the verse, quote it correct. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 1 Corinthians ch. 5 v 8.
the part of us that goes to the Lord is our spirit. our spirit is not the same as our soul,we are body ,soul and spirit. when the trumpet sounds Jesus said he would take believers first and then the living believers next and we would all be with jesus from that time forever.He did not say we would go to heaven before he came for us. His promise was he would be back for us and then we would be with him forever. the reason they say 1 Thess. 4 is complicated. is because they are changing what it says and what they want us to believe. we cannot change the word.
Jesus is my savior! Thank you my lord! I’m so unworthy such a sinner I am and have been. You gave your life for me. Thank you without Jesus and his holy father God I am without hope.
I had a Uncle that died of cancer in the middle to late 1960’s , he suffered mightily, his last days were in the hospital, so weak he could not even roll over, I was told…..with my aunt and my other aunts by his bedside, he RAISED ALL THE UP TO A NEAR SITTED POSITION, EYES WIDE OPEN, AND ARMS RAISED TO THE CEILING AND EXCLAIMED “I’m coming , Lord”! . With that he collapsed back, dead. What did he see? I’m totally convinced, the Lord came for him, he saw the Lord and went with him.
When those in Christ pass away.. They do not literally die as "stop being/living" God is not the God of the dead but of the living...they rest from their works and are in God's presence.
Yes i can read.The bible also says that women should keep silence.In another word keep your mouth shut and go back to your kitchen where you belong.And one more thing May the Lord continue his blessings upon you.
I believe I would fall flat on my face in fearfull submission and shame when I meet our LORD JESUS. At the same time be overflowing with love and gratitude. Its going to be totally amazing...🙏🙏❤

Why do you guys repent 🤣🤣😂i think jesus died for your sins that means you don't have any sins LOL Logic Left the chat. Jesus is not dead nor he was crucified rather the Lord almighty raised him up to the heaven. He was one of the mightiest prophet of Allah (one and only true god) 🙏
Keep the faith? It is not us that keeps the faith but God, for is it not written "even if we are without faith it is His faith (in us) that sustains us, for He CANNOT DENY HIMSELF! ❤️

Is it not true, when you die, time is not part of us anymore. So when you fall asleep-die, your next moment will be with Jesus even if 1000 years pass on earth. Just a thought
i think so too. When Jesus said Lazeras stinks that makes me think we will be in the ground or where/how ever till Jesus comes. But you are right time wont matter then
Peter Christian. The martyrs in the present heaven (Revelation 6) cried out "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" They certainly had a concept of chronological time when the asked that question! They were conscious that the guilty on earth had not yet been punished (evidence of actual time). Similarly Elijah and Moses seem to be aware of Jesus on earth when they appeared post ressurection. There may be evidence that the dead in Christ are aware of both time and events on earth. The concept of eternity/infinity doesn't necessarily negate the presence of time. Scripture gives us several clear examples of time - including months and seasons - literal not figurative. The information is there if we rely on scripture rather than presuppositions or assumptions based on christoplatonism. Obviously the heaven we will go to now post mortem, won't be the heaven we end up in once we have ressurected bodies on the new heaven/earth.
So if you keep sleeping until Jesus comes theres a problem here, when u sleep 8 hours u feel like a second pass, so that means i can "speed up" the coming of Jesus if i suicide, because even if i stay dead/sleeping for years and years will feel like a second also, dangerous...
I can’t wait to see Jesus one day I have accepted Jesus and god as my lord and they are my saviors and I will say a prayer every day and I’m young I’m 12 so in judgment day because I have accepted god and Jesus as they are my lord and they are my saviors and pray every day I hope I can be at the book of life

Hi little one, I’m so proud of you. I was about your age as well when I gave my life to Christ however as I got older with peer pressure and influences I forsake God because he didn’t answer my prayers.

I just want to encourage you to never forsake God even though you feel like he’s not there and have a repenting heart at all times. ❤️

*Do you know that every verse in Bible book mention the word the Son of Man or the Son of God >> that means the only Body of God himself, the Face of God himself* ?? The LORD God ( *YHWH = Symbolic Hebrew letter meaning = behold the nail, behold the hand = lihat paku, lihat tangan* ) the Creator of universe have Holy Spirit & Holy living Body (this is the meaning of Trinity) since begining. Thats way all Abrahamic religion call Him: The Only One Living God Human kind was created in the image and likeness of the only one body of God him self. This Body of God is real physical body, God is body and spirit since begining (Alpha). ** Read: Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. ** God walking in the garden: Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. ** God have complete body & fighting: Genesis 32: 24-26, 28-30 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. ** So don't you ever think God has biological children, Don't be perverted. Try to understand the deep inside meaning of this. God have His own body even he can fight with man. ** Let's look at the first news by Gabriel angle to human kind when Jesus Christ about to come & born to the world and how the Holy Spirit of God guide Zhakaria. Read: Luke 1: 5, 13, 30-31, 67-68, 76-78 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. And his father Zacharias (John father) was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us. Try to understand the meaning of why God punished man since Adam & Eve ate the forbidden fruit, Cain killed Habel, the traitorous angels (which punished and become a group of evil, beelzebul, legion, etc) who ruled & have sex with mankind in the days of Noah, and all the sins of our transgression of humans who violated the 10 commandments of God and also the decrees of God in the Old Testament book. Because God is so holy, it is impossible for man to enter into His presence because of all our sins, so before the crucifixion of Lord Jesus (God Him self), every time we humans worship and pray for God's help, we need to bring the sacrifice, pour out the flesh and blood of the sacrifice in exchange for the blood of persecution & murder, lust, cunning and betrayal committed by humans in their lives. He has emptying Himself , sacrifice Him self to make us holy again for all human kind (who believe in His love) by letting His Body and Blood his body shed by human kind at the time because of human worldly desires. From old testament we are learning that human need to bring the sacrifacial ransom to God which is need to be perfect, not defective and blameless to be able to come to the presence of God, and we know only God him self not defective, blameless & sinless. It is only through this act of love and grace of God * (Sola Gratia) * that now we can pray to Him anytime we want to, and He will always listening to our prayer, even before we said that. That's what this verse means: Mark 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. Luke 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. God has opened His holy space for us who believe and accept Jesus as the Lord God and Savior of mankind through His birth, His sufferings & death on the cross and His resurrection on easter day. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor (Holy Spirit), The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
*King David said* Psalms 23:1-4 *The LORD is my shepherd* ; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He *leadeth me in the paths of righteousness* for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. *Prophet Isaiah prophesy* Isaiah 9:6 For unto us *a child is born* , unto us *a Son* is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and *his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor (= Holy Spirit* (read Mat 10:17-20) , *The mighty God* , *The everlasting Father* , The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 53:5 But *He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities* : the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and *with His stripes we are healed* . *YaHWeH said* Hosea 13: 4, 14 Yet *I am the LORD thy God* from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know *no god but Me* : for there is *no saviour beside Me* . I will ransom them from the power of the grave; *I will redeem them from death* : O death, I will be thy plagues; *O grave, I will be thy destruction* : repentance shall be hid from Mine eyes. *Luke **2:10**-11* And *the angel said unto them* , Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is *born this day* in the city of David *a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord* . *Jesus Christ said* Matthew 11:28 *Come unto Me , ALL ye* that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 12:8 For *the Son of man* is Lord even of the sabbath day. (= the Lord God of all creation days, *the Almighty Creator of universe* ). ** The Son of man = Jesus Christ
We all will make it there... Just believe he died for our sins meaning accept him as your savior also ask him to come in your heart, repent - asked forgiveness, have faith & confess w/ ur mouth that you’ll strive & *TRY* to do better no matter what 😇🙏🏽✝️
Jesus said the dead know nothing or have any part under the sun, they are dead until Jesus returns and the dead in Christ rise first, the we who are alive will raise to meet him in the air. Do not be deceived… God Bless
Jesus is a fake name comes from the fingers of men in the 16th centuries AD. It has nothing to do with the creation of human being. The names jesus or eisous is not the creator. Also, Christian is a pagan religion so it is created by Constantine in the 3rd Centuries AD. Christmas, Sunday, and the cross these are created by Constantine in the 3rd Centuries AD. Christian is not the true religion. Chridtian is a false religion to deceive the whole world
Will we meet Jesus as soon as we Die? Ans No. When we died we are all asleep, waiting for Jesus to come to rise us up. Our breath of life goes back to the creator and our body goes back to the ground. 1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. Please think if everyone died and meet Jesus then Jesus does not need to come. Then 1Thessalonians 4:16 verse said the dead in Christ will rise first. Please people read and study the Holy Bible or else you will be deceived by false teaching. Is for your own good. Take care.
You, are so right, Satan does not want us to know the truth about death, he lied to Eve about it and today he is lying to most people telling them they go straight to heaven , The word of God tells us the truth but Satan blinds the reader so they don't believe 1 Thessalonians 4: 16.
Piper did say that. There are diferente places and the Lord can be in all of them. As He can visit souls here on Earth. All Im saying is people will be closer and with the Lord after death but not in the ultimate heaven where the actual throne is.
Jesus tells a story about a rich man and a beggar, that both die, the rich man goes to torment and the beggar goes to Abraham’s bosom. There are two compartments in Hades, one is paradise the other is a lake of fire and torment. Read Luke 16-19-31.
Luke 23:42-43 42Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." 43Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."
what is absent from body ? We are body,soul,spirit.body goes back to dust, spirit goes back to God the giver, soul is waiting to be re united with a new resurrected body which is described as immortal never subject to death again. all unbelievers are not resurrected until after the 1000 yrs. then they stand before God at the great white throne judgement. Study for yourself.Holy Spirit will tell you truth.
Really, no resurrection, not waiting for Jesus to return and raise the dead in Christ, Won't get our mortal body changed to immortality. meaning not subject to death. That story about the BLESSED HOPE OF A RAPTURE IS NOT TRUE,BECAUSE WE ARE ALREADY THERE.
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. RSV Only-monos God-theos Monos theos Monotheism The Father Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)! Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God! Jesus has a God! Jesus died! God can’t die! God raised Jesus from the dead!
In 2 Corinthians 5: 1-8 Paul is not talking about dying and, disembodied, going to heaven. He is talking about the second coming. He says as much in verse four: ✴ _For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life._ The parallel passage is in 1 Corinthians 15. ✴ _52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality._
I've written a small book of four visions the Lord gave me. One vision is what happens immediately at the time of death and where we go and how we get there. I won't give the name of the book here (it's a download or hard copy) but if this channel's owner wants me to I will put a link here. Just to say though...we go to be with Jesus virtually immediately after we die. Oh....and he hugs us....and cries tears of Joy over us. So special.
I disagree with Pastor John. In 2 Corinthians 5:6-9 NIV [6] Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. [7] For we live by faith, not by sight. [8] We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. [9] So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. Paul speaks of the desire of a Christian to be in the presence of God. He’s not making a statement that a Christian’s soul is either in the body or with God. The second scripture referenced I believe does give an accurate depiction of a “when” and that will be at the same time. The dead in Christ will be caught up with the living and meet Him in the sky. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 NIV [16] For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. [17] After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. I believe that all believers will be gathered up to the Lord at the same time with the exception of Moses and Elijah. Who were explicitly gathered up by God in the word.
The Bible scripture is changing supernaturally as predicted in Amos, whatever version you read. Wake up Christians!! Now Isaiah says the wolf will dwell with the Lamb. Used to be The LION WILL LAY DOWN WITH THE LAMB. Thousands of changes, blashemies. Wake up. In the beginning was The Word was with God and the Word was with God and the Word was God/YAHUAH. When Jesus/YAHUSHUA comes back He will destroy with his mouth the wicked, which is THE WORD.
Night Demon you’re correct The Word says that Enoch was no more. Don’t fault the translation for that omission that was a mistake on my part. And if you do believe the NIV has changed something please share because I don’t believe one English translation is better than another. But the Hebrew and the Koine Greek are the purest forms.
amen i second that. "the living know that they shall die but the dead know not anything." are we to suggest this is refering to the death of the body only? which makes no sense considering the bible states in Genesis that the living soul is a product of the the necessity of two parts, a spirit and a body.
@@lisaannrichardson7959 always said that. You are in need of proper guidance. Likely not getting it from personal, in person church fellowship. But watchi g youtube videos which claim to be Christian. Beware. Study the bible, go to local bible church. God Bless.
When my father flew away home too heaven look down at him in his casket let me say this my father had a smile on his face so yeah we all will see king Jesus if you believe the king died on the on cross and one more thing GOD is showing people all over the world just who he is look at the at the different types of weather all over the world no human being cannot do this pay attention like I have been for a too decades
For many years, my maternal grandmother described a near death experience she believed she had while on an operating table. She believed that she died, then saw Heaven, talked to God, and pleaded with Him to allow her to return to Earth because my mother was still a child and my mother's father had already passed away. I don't know if my grandmother really saw Heaven and God or it was a dream, but she described seeing her late husband sleeping in a bed in Heaven.
When I die (go to sleep ) at least I know the next time I wake up , i will be with my lord and savior , whether it's one day or a million day's. ...all glory to God.
Short answer is no. It will seem like it though, because just like when you go to sleep at night, next thing you know is you wake up and it is morning. Same here. When we die, we go to sleep. At the voice of Jesus Christ we awake and will rise up in the air to meet Him. So shall we be forever more. V.
Prayers for you, Dennis. ALS is more than v v difficult! It Def means suffering! God Bless You in That Suffering. May Your Journey to See Our LORD be A Beauriful One. I have to think that is what ppl of suffering such as yours, DO HAVE WAITING FOR THEM! PRAYERS, BLESSINGS, AND LOVE!!!
Your husband will no longer be your husband but he'll be your brother in Christ. There will be no marriages in heaven because will be with our bride Jesus the Christ.
We sleep. Dead knows nothing. No body, no thoughts ...dead asleep. Jesus, you will meet on that last day. When you have bodies again.those who sleep in the ground will rise. The good to glory , the evil to Judgement and hell. Yep. It's the word of God. You can count on it. Dead is dead
Scripture says we can die to the flesh even being alive in the flesh. The kingdom of heaven is at hand now. And hiw much more when we pass and out bodies lose its powers?
Jesus said “All who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth” (John 5:28, 29). “David … is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. … For David did not ascend into the heavens” (Acts 2:29, 34). “If I wait, the grave is mine house” (Job 17:13 KJV). People do not go to heaven or to hell at death. They don’t go anywhere-but they wait in their graves for the first or second resurrection. 🎉
The resurrection of the believers in Jesus is the least taught scriptural truth in our modern day. Jesus said, “and I will raise him up at the last day”. Study and see how many times the resurrection of the believers is recorded in the scriptures and know that we will be raised from the dead just like Jesus who spent time in the tomb and was resurrected. We will taste death and we will rise again to our reward. The end result will be that we will spend an eternity with Jesus if we are truly born again and have His spirit living inside of us. The important thing to remember is always be ready to meet your Lord.
Well said, Brad. Christianity is a resurrection-from-the-dead religion, not a die-and-go-to-heaven religion. ✴ _so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time ... to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him._ (Hebrews 9: 28; NIV)
These texts are not direct related to the topic discussed here, I think. In these texts, Jesus was talking about what Peter, John and James are going to see in the Mountain when he was transfigured. The answer for Matthew 16:28 is in Matthew 17. For Luke 9:27, you can find it from Luke 9:28 on.
NO , we don't see anybody when we die ! . When we die we are SLEEPING. until when at the 2 coming , our Lord Jezus Christ , will Resurrect us the believers who love Jezus and. lived by His teachings .
I'd feel more comfortable seeing Jesus right after I die. I know we sleep when we die and when we are ressurected we are alive in christ. I Wana see Christ the second I go lol
We are spirit beings, whether living on earth or not. Spirits do not sleep. When absent from the body, we our present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8- We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
You just won't have any second without living. Your body dies but your soul is eternal! You just walk in the presence of the Lord in a glimpse of the eye! Dying is not painful, the consumation of the body is, but death has no more power (of corruption) over your soul because of Jesus! You close your eyes here as soon as you open your eyes there and see The Lord!
@@wendym31463 Thank you for your post, JCitc. The passage to which you refer appears below. Note that the gathering does not happen when believers die but, rather, "after the distress of those days." If you have other citations that touch on this subject, I would love to see them. Send them along, please. 29 *“Immediately after the distress of those days,* _the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth will mourn; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet,a and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other."_ (CSB)
When Jesus comes the dead in Christ will be raised first and the living in Christ will be raised right after this. This is pretty simple as we see we are asleep for a short time in the grave waiting for our Lords return.
Great interview message of Life after Death..Pastor John,,you couldn't have explained it better!!!! I never believed in this..''soul sleep''. For like Paul said...''To be out of my body is to be with the Lord.'' I have always believed that when we die,,the first person we will see before our loved ones...is.....JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!!! AMEN!!! I can't wait until the second coming. amen. Blessings to you!!! I love the messages everyone has written...I would put like on all of them,,,except there are so many,,,1,032 comments.
Neither Jesus nor the thief were in paradise the same day. Jesus was in the tomb for three days and three nights, as He said He would be: "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matthew 12:40) Even after His resurrection three days later He told Mary He had not yet ascended to the Father (John 20:17). In the original texts there was no punctuation as we have today. The commas in Luke 23:43 were added, by later transcribers and translators. The second comma was added in the wrong place, giving the impression Jesus and the thief would be in paradise the same day: "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise" (KJV). Today some Bibles have the second comma in the correct place, removing the suggestion that Jesus and the thief would be in paradise the same day. Here's some examples: "And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I tell you today, you shall be with Me in paradise." (Faithful Version) "And יהושע said to him, “Truly, I say to you today, you shall be with Me in paradise.” (The Scriptures 2009) The following English translation of the Curetonian Syriac text even leaves out the comma in question and still delivers the correct meaning: "Amen, I say to thee to-day that with me thou shalt be in the Garden of Eden." (F. C. Burkitt, "The Curetonian Version of the Four Gospels," Vol. I, Cambridge, 1904) Jesus was in the tomb three days and three nights, just as He said He would be. The thief is still in the grave, waiting for the promised resurrection of the dead.
I am surprised Piper didn’t mention the passage in Luke 23 where Jesus says to the their on the cross “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” Sounds clear to me that when we die we see Jesus in paradise at that moment.
When we die, we no longer are aware of ANYTHING nor do we have any sense of time passing. If the Lord greets us at the moment after our last breath OR after a thousand+ years, for us it will seem like no time passed at all. It will seem like the same thing, no matter how long it takes. MARANATHA
Summer of Kitty Love I’m new to Christ and reading that when we die we are not conscious and hearing the word sleep, then hearing this video it’s super confusing. I guess I would just rest of the fact that my salvation doesn’t hinge on what I believe what happens when I die but what what happened 2000 years ago when Jesus walked this earth.
YOU DO NOT, go to Heaven, when you die!!! It gets me when people say, their loved one is picking flowers up in Heaven for their loved ones, or they're dancing a gigue in Heaven. NO!!! NO, You do NOT go to Heaven, until the second coming of the Lord!!!
I agree with everything you wrote with one minor edit. I am not convinced that Christians go to heaven following Christ's second coming. I look at the description of the Second Coming and it stops with the meeting of the redeemed with the Lord in the air. What happens after that appears to be (pardon the pun) up in the air. ✴ _The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind._ (Psalm 115: 16, BSB)
Im sorry pastor john but i highley disagree with your podcast on this, i love most of your videos but there is more scripture pointing to resurrection of both body and soul toghether then there is disembodied souls floating around in Heaven :No one has seen Heaven, except the Son who is from Heaven. When Jesus said to the thief on the Cross who defended Him "surely I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise" this is a misinterpretation of actuall scripture all because of punctuation errors by translators, the original greek and Hebrew manuscripts read like this: surely i tell you today you will be with me in paradise" notice there isnt any punction as the ole english translators have placed, it should be read like this"surely i tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise" the misconception is that the thief went to paradise that day with Jesus. when Jesus was actually saying basically: im telling you this today, not you will go to paradise today. Also scripture tells us Jesus rose from the dead 3 days later and then He ascended into Heaven, so how could the thief have gone to Paradise the day of Christ Crucifixion, when Jesus Himself was not resurrected until 3 days later? Also scripture tells us Jesus was given His spiritual body which was a physical and spiritual body not just a soul and He could pass through walls and fly up into the clouds and into Heaven to be with the Father, so the ressurected in Christ will be given similar spirtual/physical bodies as well in the New Jerusalem ( Eden) on Earth and New Heaven described in Revelation 20-21
Also philippians paul seemed to be saying that he would rather be with Christ then in the mortal body and world basically. That it would be better to be with Him then on the flesh however this has nothing to to with his teachings aboutbthe ressurection because pauls also saying its good he remains there so his message can be preached and reached to other brothers and sisters in Christ
Pastor John with all due respect Paul said he would rather be with the Lord immediately then wait in the grave. This doesn't mean people go straight to Heaven when they die even Jesus said death is like a sleep and other scriptures tell us the dead no nothing, they are asleep, the have no concept of time so sleeping in the grave would feel like an instant passage to the second coming to the dead since there conscience is not aware of time waiting feels like the blink of an eye. Its nothing to be feared because Jesus died and was resurrected and ascended into Heaven the bible never says Jesus ascended before He died He ascended after and Since Jesus is the resurrection His return brings abkut the resurrection of both the righteous to salvation and the wicked to condemnation
@RTHA300 you come on a christian Discussion cursing another man and ordering him to shut up? When Jesus says "depart from me, I never knew you" atleast you were warned ahead of time
@@cthulhu472 you are 100% correct. The bible should interpret The bible, these modern day churches are preaching their own doctrines of Satan that go against scripture. This guys 1 of them, everytime he says "I think" hes removing the literal word and applying his own thoughts. Wisdom to this world is foolishness to God. Glad your a solid reader of scriptures
@@cthulhu472 exactly i beluece the Greek ciuld have been translated equally as "this body" rather than "the body" . Consider the context of Pauls discoutse just prior as well. He is speaking of the present body vonyrasted with the spiritual man or the new body given at the reaurrection! I have heard Calvinists poknt out this Greek translation point when defendi g their soteriological position. I wish they would see it here.
Jesus said in John 3;16. .Jesus said,He is going to prepare a place for us. .then He said after that He will come again and receive us , will be with Him. . Andi again n the book of Thessalonians. is going to have a rapture of those who died in Christ. .and that's the time we will be forever with the Lord.
Maria Emilia Meireles Vitor Amen Sister, the right response to answer this question would be to explain what happens when a person dies using scripture not what he thinks or his opinion. 11 mins and still no biblical answer
My sister Died of an Overdose in 2015 and my brother died from an overdose this past January 2023 and few days before he died he said he was scared of death and what it will be, and If it’s nothing, and scared as to not BE and the fact of not existing. Said he thinks of our Sister a lot. He was saved but I feel just in turmoil. Odd he talked about death 3 days before. And I wish I had heard this video as to show him that night to give him some peace. I over hear at the service this topic “do you think he’s with Jesus or sleeping until Jesus comes”. This gave me so much peace to hear this video
Until the day I see The Beautiful, Adorable Face of my Lord, & feel the warmth of His embrace😏, I breathe in His Love with grateful Praise & Bless His Holy Name (Sweetest Name in Heaven & earth)every millisecond of the way🙏🕯💕🕯🙏
There is a difference between being in someone's presence in Spirit and meeting someone face to face which requires a body. When we die we will be in the Lord's presence and conscious of bliss, but when the Lord Jesus comes again at the rapture for His church, we will meet Him face to face as we will be in our resurrection bodies or else we will have been changed in a moment of time into bodies suited for Heaven like unto the Lord's body of glory. At the second coming to earth the glorified saints come with the Lord Jesus and He is glorified in them. (2 Thess. ch. 1 v 10).
This subject makes me think of how God knew us before He formed us in our mother's womb! We didn't have bodies then, so was it our spirit who knew Him?! And when this is all done on earth and we get our glorified bodies how will that be different from before?! Any thoughts?
Yeah, keep thinking that. It'll never happened. Hasn't occurred in the 2000 years since Jesus said it'd happen to that generation. nor did it happen during ANY of the numerous times it was predicted.
@@erichetherington9314 Well I KNOW it's going to happen.........God said, I believe it! I'm sorry you don't, but I am looking forward to it---will be so much better than this world we are in now.
SO YOU SAY WE ARE IN HEAVEN WITH GOD ,WHAT ARE WE DOING. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT TELLS ME. EVERYTHING I READ IN THE BIBLE SAYS WE ARE WAITING FOR OUR RESURRECTION AND FROM THAT TIME ,IF WE ARE A TRUE BELIEVER IN JESUS WE WILL HEAR THE TRUMPET SOUND AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL COME OUT OF THE GRAVE AND MEET JESUS IN THE AIR AND WE WILL BE WITH HIM FOREVER FROM THAT TIME ON.
Wooo, I would have never understood that passage of the bible in that way. I thought the dead soul's would remain in a sleep like manner, then on that GREAT DAY 😃 the dead in Christ would arise first followed by the living. The bible is so amazing and deep. The wisdom of God has blessed us with teachers, so that we will grow as we use the correct applications. Thank you very much for this podcast. You are dearly appreciated!! I am becoming weary, ready to meet the Lord at only 36 years of age. But, like Paul, I will rejoice in the labour for His kingdom untill the KING of Glory returns. Come quickly Lord Jesus, come quickly 🙏🏽
When we die our consciousness stops, our "thoughts perish." We know nothing and are unaware of the passage of time: "His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish." (Psalm 146:4) "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Many times the Bible refers to death as a "sleep." Those who are dead are "asleep" in death, unaware of what is going on. Jesus referred to Lazarus being asleep - dead - before He resurrected him. In Daniel 12:2 we have this reference to the dead and their resurrection: "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." When the elect who "sleep in Jesus" are resurrected at Jesus' return (as Paul described in 1 Cor 15:50-54 and 1 Thess 4:13-17) their consciousness returns. Then, along with those "which are alive and remain," they rise to meet Christ. Nowhere does it say they meet Christ before then. And they meet Him "in the air," not in heaven: "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) For those resurrected it will seem like no time had passed since their last conscious moment at death. Paul understood that after departing in death, *_the next thing he would know would be that he had been resurrected and was meeting Christ._* That seemingly immediate meeting with Christ was what Paul was referring to when he wrote "For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better" (Philippians 1:23). Upon death the mortal body "returns to his earth": the grave. At Jesus' return the "dead in Christ" are raised with immortal, spirit bodies, like Jesus' body after His resurrection. Paul explained this in 1 Corinthians 15:42-54. Then - _not before then_ - we will rise "to meet the Lord in the air." For those in that resurrection it would seem like they were meeting Christ only a moment after their final moments of mortal consciousness: "Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:6-8) *Paul was not a hypocrite (believing he'd go to meet Jesus immediately upon his death) but telling the Thessalonians they'd have to wait for a resurrection before they could meet Christ.* No, Paul wrote that he hoped to attain the very same resurrection he told the Thessalonians about: "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead." (Philippians 3:10,11)
Yes, that is exactly what the bible says. we rest and wait for the trumpet to sound, and the dead in Christ will be resurrected at that time also mortality will put on immortality at that time, new spiritual bodies,just like Jesus's. Nobody goes nowhere till Jesus comes back for us.
@@rosemarybetts4467 Well said, Rosemary, when you wrote *"we rest and wait for the trumpet to sound, and the dead in Christ will be resurrected at that time also mortality will put on immortality at that time"*
who ever wrote the above statements , have it right, When we die we will be like Lazarus asleep waiting to hear the call from Jesus and we will receive our new bodies,and be like him. spiritual.
I guess another scripture that has always perplexed me besides 1 Thesaloniens 4 is John 14 when Jesus says I go to prepare a place for you SO THAT when I come back (2nd coming) I will (future tense) take you to be with me so that you may be where I am. It appears that we do not see Jesus until the second coming. Also in John 14 Jesus says " No one has seen the Father accept the one who came down from heaven (being Jesus himself ).
Jesus promised to come back and get those believers that die that is the rapture, why are we told to wait and watch for Jesus if we are already in heaven with God, Did Jesus go up to heaven and pull Lazrus out of heaven, no Lazrus was died in the grave and jesus said he was a sleep ,meaning dead and he showed us his power of resurrection when he told Lazurs to come forth. wake up.
That is right, we are all waiting for Jesus to come back and get us ,he will sound the trumpet and we will hear it in our grave and up we go to be with him forever.
THAT IS RIGHT,UNLESS WE DECIDE TO ADD TO THIS STATEMENT. NO ONE HAS SEEN THE FATHER EXCEPT JESUS WHO CAME FROM THE FATHER. THE FIRST TIME ANYONE IS RAISED IS WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUNDS, AND ONLY BELIEVERS GO AT THIS TIME. THE SECOND TIME WILL BE AFTER THE 1000 YRE AT THIS TIME UNBELIEVERS WILL BE RAISED FOR JUDGEMENT.REV.20: 5. READ IT.

Isaac Nussbaum - you’re obviously ignorant of the fact that before Jesus came and atoned for sins, no one could go to heaven when they died, so the OT saints who died were held in a second compartment in the earth, called paradise, where they waited. This place was called Abraham’s bosom in one scripture. The Bible says Jesus descended into the lower parts of the earth and preached to the spirits in prison, when He died. When He rose He emptied out paradise and set those captives free, which is why the Bible has the account that many dead people arose and went into the city, when Jesus rose from death. When He ascended He moved paradise to heaven, and Christians who die now go right to heaven. You’re obviously in a sect or cult that teaches soul sleep, that claims that when you die you take a dirt nap in the ground along with your dead body, which is erroneous.. It’s clear in scripture that the soul departs from its home, which is the body, and doesn’t nap in the dirt at physical death. So yes, Jesus’ Spirit was in the HEART, the middle of the earth, for three days and nights, while His body was on the surface of the earth in a tomb, and He and the thief on the cross, went to paradise THAT DAY when they died.
Salt Maker - excellent. Yes, before Jesus atoned for sins, no soul could ascend to heaven. When Jesus rose, he “ took captivity captive”, and emptied out paradise, and many of the dead arose and went into the city, upon His resurrection.
Isaac Nussbaum - read SALT MAKERs response to you, he saved me time looking up the relevant scriptures, by beating me to it, and posting them in reply to you. Notice that you’re hearing the same thing from many people. Soul sleep is bogus.
Isaac Nussbaum PS: the Bible makes it clear in 2 Corinthians ch. 5, that our body is only a home, that WE leave at death. 2Co 5:1 For we know that if our earthly HOUSE of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2Co 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are AT HOME in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be ABSENT FROM the BODY, , and to be PRESENT with the Lord. Scripture further makes that clear that at salvation, the Holy Spirit comes into our house, the body, and changes it from just a house, into the TEMPLE of the Holy Spirit. 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your BODY is the TEMPLE of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? It further makes it clear that our body is a house when Jesus gives an example of a demon possessed man, who had a demon cast out of him, but the demon went out and got more demons, and returned to the man, and found his HOUSE swept clean, and moved right back in and brought the other demons with him, so that man was worse off than he was before. Mat 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone OUT OF a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Mat 12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my HOUSE from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Mat 12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they ENTER IN and DWELL there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. In 1st or 2nd Kings, Elijah raises a dead boy. He stretched his body over the dead child and prayed three times for the dead child’s soul to come BACK into the child’s body. When the soul RETURNED to the body, the dead child came back to life. The dead child’s soul wasn’t hanging around with the child’s body - the soul had LEFT and had to RETURN for the child to live again. 1Ki 17:21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's SOUL come into him again. 1Ki 17:22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the SOUL of the child CAME INTO HIM AGAIN, and he revived. Then there’s the fact that hell was originally created for satan and his angels, not for man. Jesus made it clear that the same everlasting fire that humans go to, was created for the devil and his angels. Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: You think he’ll is the grave, yet it’s clear that hell is a PLACE that some of the fallen angels are in right now, in chains, awaiting judgment. Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Fallen angels are spirits - they have no BODIES to bury in the dirt, but yet they ARE in a place called HELL right now. 2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; Notice that they aren’t SLEEPING in hell, or they wouldn’t need to be chained to prevent their escape. Soul sleep is absolutely wrong doctrine. You’ve been misled.
As a newish believer with a lot to learn, I can't tell if I would benefit more from a straight forward one sentence response or a 60 minute lecture starting from square one. 😵 I can't pinpoint where my questions are.
Lightning Gazelle I’ve been a believer from as far as I can remember but, now is when I’m actually starting to really read he word and spend time with God everyday, what help me is just praying to God about literally every question and praying about how to start learning his world and what do i need to focus on, and just talk to God and also read the Bible once a day, it may be tedious at first but make sure you pray before and after you read and overtime God will reveal himself to you more and more, and you’ll start to know more and more of what it is your suppose to be focusing on scripturally
State of the dead Do we go straight to heaven or hell when we die? When a person dies, where does he go? Job 21 32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb. The wicked are reserved there until they will be brought to what? Job 21 30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. Job 14 12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. Job said he would wait in the grave until what came? Job 14 13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! 14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. 1 Corinthians 15 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. At what event will they that are Christ's be made alive? 1 Corinthians 15 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Has David already gone to heaven? Acts 2 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Where is David now? Acts 2 29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. What has become of him? Acts 13 36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: How will God awaken the dead? 1 Thessalonians 4 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Until then, where do the dead wait? Job 17 13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. Where did Jesus say the dead are? John 5 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. What words did Jesus use to say His friend was dead? John 11 11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. How did David refer to his death? Psalms 13 3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; What words did Paul use to say that some of those who saw Jesus were now dead? 1 Corinthians 15 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. When Jesus awoke from death, how did He say that He had not yet been to Heaven? John 20 17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. How much does a dead man know? Ecclesiastes 9 5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. What happen to his feelings and emotions? Ecclesiastes 9 6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. What happens to all his thoughts? Psalms 146 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. What can we do while we are alive? Psalms 146 2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Can dead people praise the LORD? Psalms 115 17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. Can the dead thank God or even remember Him? Psalms 6 5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? Why will many people perish? 2 Thessalonians 2 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. If we haven't learned to love the truth while we are alive, can we learn it in the grave? Isaiah 38 18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. Why is it so important to use the short time we have? Ecclesiastes 9 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. In the light of God's word, I understand the dead are unconscious in the grave, awating their resurrection of life or the resurrection of damnation. Only Moses, Elijah and Enoch are recorded to have glorified bodies. The first resurrection, the second resurrection and the 1000 year reign with Christ. remnantofgod.org/1000yr.htm I hope and pray you are blessed with the truth of God's word.
This is such a convoluted explanation of what happens when you die. The Bible is very clear that when we die we go to the grave and wait until Jesus comes to get us.
Jesus said “All who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth” (John 5:28, 29). “David … is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. … For David did not ascend into the heavens” (Acts 2:29, 34). “If I wait, the grave is mine house” (Job 17:13 KJV). People do not go to heaven or to hell at death. They don’t go anywhere-but they wait in their graves for the first or second resurrection. 🎉
Ive had several heart attacks and bypass surgery Last time as I was waiting for surgery I woke up in the hospital in the middle of the night with 2 men in my hospital room. I was looking at them I realized they were my grandfathers. I thought they were there to take me home to heaven. But they didnt speak to me , both of them smiled at me and walked out of the room. I guess they were there to watch over me.
With all due respect Madame, I do not discount for a second what you saw; however angels can appear in the likeness of those we are familiar with. I had a similar experience. An angel appeared in the likeness of my grandfather who passed away when I was a child decades before. It would take too long to explain the circumstance of the appearance, but that familiar appearance was so I wouldn’t be terrified. I could even smell the fragrance of his pipe. My granddad was a tailor. He wore only 3piece suits. This figure looked like him. All I saw was from his barrel chest down, and then heard his words. I wasn’t afraid. These things happen sometimes. Continued good health to you.
I'm home sick for heaven I want so much to see a meet my maker a my best friend Jesus Christ. This old corrupted sinful world has nothing to offer us here but sorrow sadness pain diseases virus a germs a toxic people separation. A nothing good anymore ,,,,,I want a long to go to heaven a have a new body like yours my dear lord.

My grandfather lost his mom very young and his older sisters raised him.He came to Oklahoma by covered wagon.On his death bed he looked up and was so surprised he said MOMA...Smiled and died.She was there to carry him home.WE were told they see this often.

The Luke 23: 42-43 passage is controversial but putting that aside for the moment, where in the Bible does it say that you and I will go to heaven when WE die? The answer is, it doesn't.
It’s not that I want to die. But I now long for the time to meet Jesus in heaven. For I would rather be with my savior right now, but I know He has work for me to do. The day will be so incredible when we get to be in His perfect, beautiful, precious, presence. The one who has loved us and even when we didn’t.
You'll never meet him in heaven. You may meet him when he returns to earth for the resurrection and judgement. Humans NEVER go to heaven.
I wana be with God I hate this world I hate the devil I just wana be with God for ever
@@Yahshuaismyeverythingtry reading Matthew Henry it will help with your walk with God s
I’m honestly not even that scared of dying now , I know that I will be with the Lord when I die I’m glad I just won’t be alone....
sleekz Squeeze be reading it and thinking about it daily. Reflecting on what was said in the text and trusting in God and his promises
Yea i was so scared but now im kinda happy
Me yo
@sleekz Squeeze I ask the Holy Spirit, sent by God , who is our advocate, great counselor and helper to reveal to me God's Word when I need help understanding. He sent us the Holy Spirit to allow communication and make possible a relationship directly with God, with our Lord and savior Christ Jesus. Do not try to be fancy with words, or even impress others in public. I get on my knees and thank Him, praise Him first..Then just open your heart and talk to Him, ask Him for instructions or revelation for you. That is all He wants, worship, repentance, obedience, discipleship, and ultimately love for Him and others. Hope that helps brother🙏
@sleekz Squeeze that is a good question, I just watched a video on when we die, do we immediately see Jesus? I'll try and get it to you. What I believe and what scripture says is we will all be judged. Once appointed to die, then the judgement. Brother if you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, know that he died on the cross for you and me, and rose again on the 3rd day, defeating death, then you will be saved. All that call upon the Lord shall be saved. The simple things you must do as a believer is A. Repent of your sins. We are all sinners that broke God's commandments and we are guilty. The wages of sin is death as Paul writes in the book of Romans. None of us are worthy, our own righteousness is like that of filthy rags,...as Isaiah writes.. Here's simply what we must do. Repent of our sinful ways...Abandon lying, stealing, killing, cheating,abusing, taking advantage of the weak, lustful thoughts and actions, pornography, hating someone, the commandments outline them clearly. Turn 180 degrees from the devil's temptation and turn to what Christ directs you to be. 2nd, ..believe that Jesus is the son of God, sent to teach us and most importantly die for us , be for OUR sins, that we may be made righteous and acceptable before God. 3rd....turn our will and lives over to Him, Jesus, not our own desires and will for our lives but His. He is the one who gives us the free gift of life, salvation, a relationship with Him forever. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the father but by Him. It's so simple brother, ask Him to come into your life and renew you. Be born again of the Holy Spirit, which God will send you and trust and follow your God and savior , Jesus Christ. You will be a new creature in Christ and given everlasting life. You will thirst no more. I live in my Bible, the Word of God is all you need
My father said just before he died.."The dear Lord Jesus"
My son passed away 25 Feb this year when I found him I immediately heard the hymn ,"safe in the arms of Jesus" in my head.
I’m in 4th year of A.L.S. have had a blessed life but ready to meet Him, face to face. Will be able to sing praises again…
It’s amazing how when we’re young we think we want to live forever in this body. Life has a way of making us rethink that desire. God bless.
Keep the faith. And every time you stand in the presence of God in prayer speak ‘With’ the Lord in Jesus Christ name.
God Bless you sweet child of Jesus and the Father ... Hallelujah ...Amen!!!

Cant wait to give JESUS a big hug
which requires the body at the resurection!
Viva Trump: A big hug? Yes you can! The answer to the question of this video title is 'YES' and anyone who says anything different does not know what they are talking about just as the other imbecile here speaking of 'resurrection' and 'physical bodies' clearly has no comprehension whatsoever of what Heaven is or any the other realms and places under creation -- which are all ACTUAL PHYSICAL PLACES or for that matter the actual nature of time and how it works in each place neither the actual physics behind how it is that you are each place. All of these I very well comprehend and need not guess or speculate having died 7 different times each different ways and literally back from the grave. Those that think of heaven as some kind of 'spiritual place" are also clueless. Spirit is only in reference to the vantage perspective of here on Earth ironically which has no baring or relation whatsoever just as Earth time is independent and no way connected. If it helps to understand; everyone who would ever visit Heaaven is now this moment already there but also here. God is many places at once, ironically so is man just simply unaware when limited to the ignorance of having only the understanding and experiences of the Earth alone. Another way which might help for people to comprehend is in many ways it is like taking a nap where you of course remember your entire real life all along when you wake up feom the brief nap as well any of the dreams while napping. In much the same way is Heaven where your real life all along is in Heaven already there and never been anything different while the dream is here on Earth. The actual truth and explanation is very difficult to explain to mortal humans who have never known death but this is the closest way I can explain in terms that people will mostly be able to understand in terms they can relate which by the way is what the Bible is actually doing as well trying to explain this particular concept to people who had even less understanding of this particular subject than those today attempting to explain in terms their mortal brains and only known experiences could best comprehend even though everything written concerning this particular subject in the Bible is about as far off actual reality as one can get but the people did not need to understand the technicals just as most people today do not either. That said though back to what I originally told you -- Yes, you can HUG Jesus and contrary to misconception, Heaven is an actual real tangible and non-spiritual physical place and yes you are there immediately instantly upon dying here. That said, another side footnote is that is not where people belong and anyone there is also just visiting as it is God's home residence and there is a completely separate realm for people that most people on Earth tend to confuse with Heaven. There is no such thing as "going to" these places as you are already there but both of these matters are each more lengthy lectures upon their own.

The same explanation as how my grandmother explained it to me 22 years ago when I was 10. When the body dies, the soul will be with Jesus, and when Jesus will come back, God will rise the dead bodies first and their souls will reunite with their dead bodies and they will become "glorious bodies". They are the first to rise and then the living believers of Christ will altogether meet Jesus in the clouds and take them with Him with a glorious bodies, one that will live eternally. Thanks Pastor John.

stacy lynn I Thessalonians 4:13-18 is a wonderful piece of Scripture that speaks of Christ coming in the clouds and what happens. I believe it speaks of the rapture or when we are taken up off this earth by Jesus whether we are dead or still alive. The Scripture says it plainly. I hope you are encouraged by this.
Amen
No Yam, not your soul goes to be with Jesus ,it is your spirit. read your bible, and pick a bible that has not been re written, we are made up of three parts, body,soul and spirit. when we die we will still be waiting for Jesus to call us out of the grave and at this time we will be changed in a moment and we will be like Jesus with a new body, a spiritual body,because flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God we get our change at the rapture. this event is only for believers ,the rest of the people are not raised until after the 1000 year reign for judgement.
My Lord and Savior personally showed up to me and healed me in a blink of an eye, Jesus is beautiful the bright light.

During my NDE I screamed for Jesus to save me from demons trying to pull me to hell and he came to me and touched my hand and I came back he never said a word and for some reason I couldn't see his face but I knew it was him, and when I came back I told the male nurse standing next to me on the table that I just died I knew I died and needed no one to tell me what happened and I gathered from this that yeshua was trying to let me know he is the way to the father but you need to believe in his sacrifice and he Rose from the Dead and we need to live the life he wants us to before we die and go there because if not those demons are also what's waiting there, please here what I tell you this is the truth.

“To be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord.”

Smeaton Lighthouse sorry I offended you, god bless and I love you.
the part of us that goes to the Lord is our spirit. our spirit is not the same as our soul,we are body ,soul and spirit. when the trumpet sounds Jesus said he would take believers first and then the living believers next and we would all be with jesus from that time forever.He did not say we would go to heaven before he came for us. His promise was he would be back for us and then we would be with him forever. the reason they say 1 Thess. 4 is complicated. is because they are changing what it says and what they want us to believe. we cannot change the word.

Abdicating responsibility for your own life is a cop out.
What are your sins?
I had a Uncle that died of cancer in the middle to late 1960’s , he suffered mightily, his last days were in the hospital, so weak he could not even roll over, I was told…..with my aunt and my other aunts by his bedside, he RAISED ALL THE UP TO A NEAR SITTED POSITION, EYES WIDE OPEN, AND ARMS RAISED TO THE CEILING AND EXCLAIMED “I’m coming , Lord”! . With that he collapsed back, dead. What did he see? I’m totally convinced, the Lord came for him, he saw the Lord and went with him.
When those in Christ pass away..
They do not literally die as "stop being/living" God is not the God of the dead but of the living...they rest from their works and are in God's presence.
What works? Heaven is totally a FREE gift!
@@joserivera3770 Can you read?
Yes i can read.The bible also says that women should keep silence.In another word keep your mouth shut and go back to your kitchen where you belong.And one more thing May the Lord continue his blessings upon you.
so Christ died or not for our sins?
that is not saying what you think. You cant use it to prove that.
I could say it applies to those who are conscious.
I believe I would fall flat on my face in fearfull submission and shame when I meet our LORD JESUS. At the same time be overflowing with love and gratitude. Its going to be totally amazing...🙏🙏❤

An hour later, he died peacefully in his sleep. Thank you Jesus.

---Job --14:10---12-- But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
------Ecclesiastes 9:5-6---For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Jesus said “All who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth” (John 5:28, 29). “David … is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. … For David did not ascend into the heavens” (Acts 2:29, 34). “If I wait, the grave is mine house” (Job 17:13 KJV). People do not go to heaven or to hell at death. They don’t go anywhere-but they wait in their graves for the first or second resurrection.
I am glad to see all these comments from Christians about God because at times I feel like us Christians are a dying breed as they say, I don't know of any other Christians other than myself in the large apartment complex i live in, God bless you all and keep the faith my brothers and sisters....
My desire is to be with Christ in the Rapture if not, when I die. I looking forward to being with him forever.
Many people who have had a near death experience state that they saw a magnificent white light. Jesus says " I am the Light of the world"
Jesus said “All who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth” (John 5:28, 29). “David … is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. … For David did not ascend into the heavens” (Acts 2:29, 34). “If I wait, the grave is mine house” (Job 17:13 KJV).

Why do you guys repent 🤣🤣😂i think jesus died for your sins that means you don't have any sins LOL

Is it not true, when you die, time is not part of us anymore. So when you fall asleep-die, your next moment will be with Jesus even if 1000 years pass on earth. Just a thought
Yep, that’s what I think too. God bless
i think so too. When Jesus said Lazeras stinks that makes me think we will be in the ground or where/how ever till Jesus comes. But you are right time wont matter then
Peter Christian. The martyrs in the present heaven (Revelation 6) cried out "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" They certainly had a concept of chronological time when the asked that question! They were conscious that the guilty on earth had not yet been punished (evidence of actual time). Similarly Elijah and Moses seem to be aware of Jesus on earth when they appeared post ressurection. There may be evidence that the dead in Christ are aware of both time and events on earth. The concept of eternity/infinity doesn't necessarily negate the presence of time. Scripture gives us several clear examples of time - including months and seasons - literal not figurative. The information is there if we rely on scripture rather than presuppositions or assumptions based on christoplatonism. Obviously the heaven we will go to now post mortem, won't be the heaven we end up in once we have ressurected bodies on the new heaven/earth.
So we sleep? Why would Christ say the man next to him would see Him after they die in paradise? Sounds to me like you may be right still?
So if you keep sleeping until Jesus comes theres a problem here, when u sleep 8 hours u feel like a second pass, so that means i can "speed up" the coming of Jesus if i suicide, because even if i stay dead/sleeping for years and years will feel like a second also, dangerous...
Jesus is a best friend with the believers!
I can’t wait to see Jesus one day I have accepted Jesus and god as my lord and they are my saviors and I will say a prayer every day and I’m young I’m 12 so in judgment day because I have accepted god and Jesus as they are my lord and they are my saviors and pray every day I hope I can be at the book of life

Hi little one, I’m so proud of you. I was about your age as well when I gave my life to Christ however as I got older with peer pressure and influences I forsake God because he didn’t answer my prayers. I’m older now and I’m back serving God but I made so many mistakes that I regret. I just want to encourage you to never forsake God even though you feel like he’s not there and have a repenting heart at all times. ❤️

*Do you know that every verse in Bible book mention the word the Son of Man or the Son of God >> that means the only Body of God himself, the Face of God himself* ??
The LORD God ( *YHWH = Symbolic Hebrew letter meaning = behold the nail, behold the hand = lihat paku, lihat tangan* ) the Creator of universe have Holy Spirit & Holy living Body (this is the meaning of Trinity) since begining. Thats way all Abrahamic religion call Him: The Only One Living God
Human kind was created in the image and likeness of the only one body of God him self. This Body of God is real physical body, God is body and spirit since begining (Alpha).
** Read:
Genesis 1:2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
** God walking in the garden:
Genesis 3:8
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
** God have complete body & fighting:
Genesis 32: 24-26, 28-30
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
** So don't you ever think God has biological children, Don't be perverted. Try to understand the deep inside meaning of this. God have His own body even he can fight with man.
** Let's look at the first news by Gabriel angle to human kind when Jesus Christ about to come & born to the world and how the Holy Spirit of God guide Zhakaria.
Read:
Luke 1: 5, 13, 30-31, 67-68, 76-78
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
And his father Zacharias (John father) was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us.
Try to understand the meaning of why God punished man since Adam & Eve ate the forbidden fruit, Cain killed Habel, the traitorous angels (which punished and become a group of evil, beelzebul, legion, etc) who ruled & have sex with mankind in the days of Noah, and all the sins of our transgression of humans who violated the 10 commandments of God and also the decrees of God in the Old Testament book.
Because God is so holy, it is impossible for man to enter into His presence because of all our sins, so before the crucifixion of Lord Jesus (God Him self), every time we humans worship and pray for God's help, we need to bring the sacrifice, pour out the flesh and blood of the sacrifice in exchange for the blood of persecution & murder, lust, cunning and betrayal committed by humans in their lives.
He has emptying Himself , sacrifice Him self to make us holy again for all human kind (who believe in His love) by letting His Body and Blood his body shed by human kind at the time because of human worldly desires.
From old testament we are learning that human need to bring the sacrifacial ransom to God which is need to be perfect, not defective and blameless to be able to come to the presence of God, and we know only God him self not defective, blameless & sinless.
It is only through this act of love and grace of God * (Sola Gratia) * that now we can pray to Him anytime we want to, and He will always listening to our prayer, even before we said that.
That's what this verse means:
Mark 15:38
And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
Luke 23:45
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
God has opened His holy space for us who believe and accept Jesus as the Lord God and Savior of mankind through His birth, His sufferings & death on the cross and His resurrection on easter day.
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor (Holy Spirit), The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
*King David said*
Psalms 23:1-4
*The LORD is my shepherd* ; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He *leadeth me in the paths of righteousness* for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
*Prophet Isaiah prophesy*
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us *a child is born* , unto us *a Son* is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and *his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor (= Holy Spirit* (read Mat 10:17-20) , *The mighty God* , *The everlasting Father* , The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 53:5
But *He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities* : the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and *with His stripes we are healed* .

Yet *I am the LORD thy God* from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know *no god but Me* : for there is *no saviour beside Me* .
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; *I will redeem them from death* : O death, I will be thy plagues; *O grave, I will be thy destruction* : repentance shall be hid from Mine eyes.
*Luke **2:10**-11*

Jesus said the dead know nothing or have any part under the sun, they are dead until Jesus returns and the dead in Christ rise first, the we who are alive will raise to meet him in the air.
Do not be deceived… God Bless

Jesus is a fake name comes from the fingers of men in the 16th centuries AD. It has nothing to do with the creation of human being. The names jesus or eisous is not the creator. Also, Christian is a pagan religion so it is created by Constantine in the 3rd Centuries AD. Christmas, Sunday, and the cross these are created by Constantine in the 3rd Centuries AD. Christian is not the true religion. Chridtian is a false religion to deceive the whole world
Will we meet Jesus as soon as we Die? Ans No.
When we died we are all asleep, waiting for Jesus to come to rise us up. Our breath of life goes back to the creator and our body goes back to the ground.
1Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
Please think if everyone died and meet Jesus then Jesus does not need to come. Then 1Thessalonians 4:16 verse said the dead in Christ will rise first.
Please people read and study the Holy Bible or else you will be deceived by false teaching. Is for your own good.
Take care.
You, are so right, Satan does not want us to know the truth about death, he lied to Eve about it and today he is lying to most people telling them they go straight to heaven , The word of God tells us the truth but Satan blinds the reader so they don't believe 1 Thessalonians 4: 16.
Piper did say that. There are diferente places and the Lord can be in all of them. As He can visit souls here on Earth. All Im saying is people will be closer and with the Lord after death but not in the ultimate heaven where the actual throne is.
Jesus tells a story about a rich man and a beggar, that both die, the rich man goes to torment and the beggar goes to Abraham’s bosom. There are two compartments in Hades, one is paradise the other is a lake of fire and torment. Read Luke 16-19-31.
AMEN 👍
Luke 23:42-43 42Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." 43Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."
"To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord!" Period end of story.
what's even better. We will have an eternal body again :)
what is absent from body ? We are body,soul,spirit.body goes back to dust, spirit goes back to God the giver, soul is waiting to be re united with a new resurrected body which is described as immortal never subject to death again. all unbelievers are not resurrected until after the 1000 yrs. then they stand before God at the great white throne judgement. Study for yourself.Holy Spirit will tell you truth.
Really, no resurrection, not waiting for Jesus to return and raise the dead in Christ, Won't get our mortal body changed to immortality. meaning not subject to death. That story about the BLESSED HOPE OF A RAPTURE IS NOT TRUE,BECAUSE WE ARE ALREADY THERE.
No there is a lot more, what are we doing if we are already there.

In 2 Corinthians 5: 1-8 Paul is not talking about dying and, disembodied, going to heaven. He is talking about the second coming. He says as much in verse four: ✴ _For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life._ The parallel passage is in 1 Corinthians 15. ✴ _52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality._
What a great God we serve. I can’t wait to meet our Lord in heaven.
I've written a small book of four visions the Lord gave me. One vision is what happens immediately at the time of death and where we go and how we get there. I won't give the name of the book here (it's a download or hard copy) but if this channel's owner wants me to I will put a link here. Just to say though...we go to be with Jesus virtually immediately after we die. Oh....and he hugs us....and cries tears of Joy over us. So special.
I disagree with Pastor John. In
2 Corinthians 5:6-9 NIV [6] Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. [7] For we live by faith, not by sight. [8] We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. [9] So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.
Paul speaks of the desire of a Christian to be in the presence of God. He’s not making a statement that a Christian’s soul is either in the body or with God. The second scripture referenced I believe does give an accurate depiction of a “when” and that will be at the same time. The dead in Christ will be caught up with the living and meet Him in the sky.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 NIV
[16] For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. [17] After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
I believe that all believers will be gathered up to the Lord at the same time with the exception of Moses and Elijah. Who were explicitly gathered up by God in the word.
The Bible scripture is changing supernaturally as predicted in Amos, whatever version you read. Wake up Christians!! Now Isaiah says the wolf will dwell with the Lamb. Used to be The LION WILL LAY DOWN WITH THE LAMB. Thousands of changes, blashemies. Wake up. In the beginning was The Word was with God and the Word was with God and the Word was God/YAHUAH. When Jesus/YAHUSHUA comes back He will destroy with his mouth the wicked, which is THE WORD.
Night Demon you’re correct The Word says that Enoch was no more. Don’t fault the translation for that omission that was a mistake on my part. And if you do believe the NIV has changed something please share because I don’t believe one English translation is better than another. But the Hebrew and the Koine Greek are the purest forms.
Philip Messina you’ll have to provide a reason why I should.
amen
i second that.
"the living know that they shall die but the dead know not anything."
are we to suggest this is refering to the death of the body only?
which makes no sense considering the bible states in Genesis that the living soul is a product of the the necessity of two parts, a spirit and a body.

When my father flew away home too heaven look down at him in his casket let me say this my father had a smile on his face so yeah we all will see king Jesus if you believe the king died on the on cross and one more thing GOD is showing people all over the world just who he is look at the at the different types of weather all over the world no human being cannot do this pay attention like I have been for a too decades
For many years, my maternal grandmother described a near death experience she believed she had while on an operating table. She believed that she died, then saw Heaven, talked to God, and pleaded with Him to allow her to return to Earth because my mother was still a child and my mother's father had already passed away. I don't know if my grandmother really saw Heaven and God or it was a dream, but she described seeing her late husband sleeping in a bed in Heaven.
When I die (go to sleep ) at least I know the next time I wake up , i will be with my lord and savior , whether it's one day or a million day's. ...all glory to God.
Amen
Amen.
Short answer is no. It will seem like it though, because just like when you go to sleep at night, next thing you know is you wake up and it is morning. Same here. When we die, we go to sleep. At the voice of Jesus Christ we awake and will rise up in the air to meet Him. So shall we be forever more. V.
I want to see Jesus soooo bad. I love him so much.
I CANT WAIT TO SEE AND MEET JESUS AND MY HUSBAND.
Prayers for you, Dennis.
ALS is more than v v difficult!
It Def means suffering!
God Bless You in That Suffering.
May Your Journey to See Our LORD be A Beauriful One. I have to think that is what ppl of suffering such as yours, DO
HAVE WAITING FOR THEM!
PRAYERS, BLESSINGS, AND LOVE!!!
Your husband will no longer be your husband but he'll be your brother in Christ. There will be no marriages in heaven because will be with our bride Jesus the Christ.
We sleep. Dead knows nothing. No body, no thoughts ...dead asleep.
Jesus, you will meet on that last day. When you have bodies again.those who sleep in the ground will rise. The good to glory , the evil to Judgement and hell. Yep. It's the word of God. You can count on it. Dead is dead
When we die our soul will be united with the Lord.
Give me a scripture please that support your statement
Scripture says we can die to the flesh even being alive in the flesh. The kingdom of heaven is at hand now. And hiw much more when we pass and out bodies lose its powers?
Jesus said “All who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth” (John 5:28, 29). “David … is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. … For David did not ascend into the heavens” (Acts 2:29, 34). “If I wait, the grave is mine house” (Job 17:13 KJV). People do not go to heaven or to hell at death. They don’t go anywhere-but they wait in their graves for the first or second resurrection. 🎉

I would , but He is not real.
Jesus is not God. He is God's son.
The resurrection of the believers in Jesus is the least taught scriptural truth in our modern day. Jesus said, “and I will raise him up at the last day”. Study and see how many times the resurrection of the believers is recorded in the scriptures and know that we will be raised from the dead just like Jesus who spent time in the tomb and was resurrected. We will taste death and we will rise again to our reward. The end result will be that we will spend an eternity with Jesus if we are truly born again and have His spirit living inside of us.
The important thing to remember is always be ready to meet your Lord.
Well said, Brad. Christianity is a resurrection-from-the-dead religion, not a die-and-go-to-heaven religion. ✴ _so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time ... to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him._ (Hebrews 9: 28; NIV)
And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.
Matthew 16:28
Luke 9:27
These texts are not direct related to the topic discussed here, I think.
In these texts, Jesus was talking about what Peter, John and James are going to see in the Mountain when he was transfigured.
The answer for Matthew 16:28 is in Matthew 17.
For Luke 9:27, you can find it from Luke 9:28 on.
Can’t wait to fall on my knees & praise Jesus Christ my Lord & Savior 💞
Do you think I am in ANY way interested !!!!!????????? GOOD BYE !!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah.. Thousands of us singing praise's to our Father God...
NO , we don't see anybody when we die ! . When we die we are SLEEPING. until when at the 2 coming , our Lord Jezus Christ , will Resurrect us the believers who love Jezus and. lived by His teachings .
I'd feel more comfortable seeing Jesus right after I die. I know we sleep when we die and when we are ressurected we are alive in christ. I Wana see Christ the second I go lol
We are spirit beings, whether living on earth or not. Spirits do not sleep. When absent from the body, we our present with the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:8- We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
You just won't have any second without living. Your body dies but your soul is eternal! You just walk in the presence of the Lord in a glimpse of the eye! Dying is not painful, the consumation of the body is, but death has no more power (of corruption) over your soul because of Jesus! You close your eyes here as soon as you open your eyes there and see The Lord!
What I found out is this, when you die, the angels come to get you and take you straight to Jesus. How cool is that?! 🥰
Where is that in the Bible JCisc? Chapter and verse, please.
Yes, the Angels come if you living in Christ. Then u have people with horror look on their faces too.
@@IsaacNussbaum Matthew 24:29-31
@@wendym31463 Thank you for your post, JCitc. The passage to which you refer appears below. Note that the gathering does not happen when believers die but, rather, "after the distress of those days." If you have other citations that touch on this subject, I would love to see them. Send them along, please.
29 *“Immediately after the distress of those days,* _the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth will mourn; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet,a and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other."_ (CSB)
When Jesus comes the dead in Christ will be raised first and the living in Christ will be raised right after this. This is pretty simple as we see we are asleep for a short time in the grave waiting for our Lords return.
Great interview message of Life after Death..Pastor John,,you couldn't have explained it better!!!! I never believed in this..''soul sleep''. For like Paul said...''To be out of my body is to be with the Lord.'' I have always believed that when we die,,the first person we will see before our loved ones...is.....JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!!! AMEN!!! I can't wait until the second coming. amen. Blessings to you!!! I love the messages everyone has written...I would put like on all of them,,,except there are so many,,,1,032 comments.
I can't wait to ass-fuck Jesus when I go to heaven-in the Bible it says Jesus even loves men with small penises.
Jesus said to the criminal next to Him on the cross ... Luke 23:43 TODAY you’re with Me in paradise. Thoughts? Plz n thx
We will be with jesus
God good am
Luke 23.43, verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise. I don’t know what bible you got those words from?
LONNIE HALL Lol
Neither Jesus nor the thief were in paradise the same day. Jesus was in the tomb for three days and three nights, as He said He would be:
"For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matthew 12:40)
Even after His resurrection three days later He told Mary He had not yet ascended to the Father (John 20:17).
In the original texts there was no punctuation as we have today. The commas in Luke 23:43 were added, by later transcribers and translators. The second comma was added in the wrong place, giving the impression Jesus and the thief would be in paradise the same day:
"And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise" (KJV).
Today some Bibles have the second comma in the correct place, removing the suggestion that Jesus and the thief would be in paradise the same day. Here's some examples:
"And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I tell you today, you shall be with Me in paradise." (Faithful Version)
"And יהושע said to him, “Truly, I say to you today, you shall be with Me in paradise.” (The Scriptures 2009)
The following English translation of the Curetonian Syriac text even leaves out the comma in question and still delivers the correct meaning:
"Amen, I say to thee to-day that with me thou shalt be in the Garden of Eden." (F. C. Burkitt, "The Curetonian Version of the Four Gospels," Vol. I, Cambridge, 1904)
Jesus was in the tomb three days and three nights, just as He said He would be. The thief is still in the grave, waiting for the promised resurrection of the dead.
Believe in ur HEART that god has raised jesus from the dead,PERIOD!!!
I am surprised Piper didn’t mention the passage in Luke 23 where Jesus says to the their on the cross “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” Sounds clear to me that when we die we see Jesus in paradise at that moment.
When we die, we no longer are aware of ANYTHING nor do we have any sense of time passing. If the Lord greets us at the moment after our last breath OR after a thousand+ years, for us it will seem like no time passed at all. It will seem like the same thing, no matter how long it takes. MARANATHA
Seems logical like that to our finite brains but what you say is not biblically sound
Summer of Kitty Love I’m new to Christ and reading that when we die we are not conscious and hearing the word sleep, then hearing this video it’s super confusing. I guess I would just rest of the fact that my salvation doesn’t hinge on what I believe what happens when I die but what what happened 2000 years ago when Jesus walked this earth.
and just how exactly do you KNOW this??
Yes, that is what the bible says. Nobody is doing nothing until Jesus comes back and starts His reign .
I don't understand why people want to argue exactly how this process happens. Ultimately the only thing that really matters is the end result.
YOU DO NOT, go to Heaven, when you die!!! It gets me when people say, their loved one is picking flowers up in Heaven for their loved ones, or they're dancing a gigue in Heaven. NO!!! NO, You do NOT go to Heaven, until the second coming of the Lord!!!
I agree with everything you wrote with one minor edit. I am not convinced that Christians go to heaven following Christ's second coming. I look at the description of the Second Coming and it stops with the meeting of the redeemed with the Lord in the air. What happens after that appears to be (pardon the pun) up in the air. ✴ _The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind._ (Psalm 115: 16, BSB)
Im sorry pastor john but i highley disagree with your podcast on this, i love most of your videos but there is more scripture pointing to resurrection of both body and soul toghether then there is disembodied souls floating around in Heaven :No one has seen Heaven, except the Son who is from Heaven. When Jesus said to the thief on the Cross who defended Him "surely I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise" this is a misinterpretation of actuall scripture all because of punctuation errors by translators, the original greek and Hebrew manuscripts read like this: surely i tell you today you will be with me in paradise" notice there isnt any punction as the ole english translators have placed, it should be read like this"surely i tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise" the misconception is that the thief went to paradise that day with Jesus. when Jesus was actually saying basically: im telling you this today, not you will go to paradise today. Also scripture tells us Jesus rose from the dead 3 days later and then He ascended into Heaven, so how could the thief have gone to Paradise the day of Christ Crucifixion, when Jesus Himself was not resurrected until 3 days later? Also scripture tells us Jesus was given His spiritual body which was a physical and spiritual body not just a soul and He could pass through walls and fly up into the clouds and into Heaven to be with the Father, so the ressurected in Christ will be given similar spirtual/physical bodies as well in the New Jerusalem ( Eden) on Earth and New Heaven described in Revelation 20-21
Also philippians paul seemed to be saying that he would rather be with Christ then in the mortal body and world basically. That it would be better to be with Him then on the flesh however this has nothing to to with his teachings aboutbthe ressurection because pauls also saying its good he remains there so his message can be preached and reached to other brothers and sisters in Christ
Pastor John with all due respect Paul said he would rather be with the Lord immediately then wait in the grave. This doesn't mean people go straight to Heaven when they die even Jesus said death is like a sleep and other scriptures tell us the dead no nothing, they are asleep, the have no concept of time so sleeping in the grave would feel like an instant passage to the second coming to the dead since there conscience is not aware of time waiting feels like the blink of an eye. Its nothing to be feared because Jesus died and was resurrected and ascended into Heaven the bible never says Jesus ascended before He died He ascended after and Since Jesus is the resurrection His return brings abkut the resurrection of both the righteous to salvation and the wicked to condemnation
@RTHA300 you come on a christian Discussion cursing another man and ordering him to shut up? When Jesus says "depart from me, I never knew you" atleast you were warned ahead of time
@@cthulhu472 you are 100% correct. The bible should interpret The bible, these modern day churches are preaching their own doctrines of Satan that go against scripture. This guys 1 of them, everytime he says "I think" hes removing the literal word and applying his own thoughts. Wisdom to this world is foolishness to God. Glad your a solid reader of scriptures
@@cthulhu472 exactly i beluece the Greek ciuld have been translated equally as "this body" rather than "the body" .
Consider the context of Pauls discoutse just prior as well. He is speaking of the present body vonyrasted with the spiritual man or the new body given at the reaurrection! I have heard Calvinists poknt out this Greek translation point when defendi g their soteriological position. I wish they would see it here.
I can't wait until I can hug Jesus
Jesus said in John 3;16. .Jesus said,He is going to prepare a place for us. .then He said after that He will come again and receive us , will be with Him. . Andi again n the book of Thessalonians. is going to have a rapture of those who died in Christ. .and that's the time we will be forever with the Lord.
Thank God our Sheperd knows us by our names. I’m sure He will show me the way. Because I didnt understand anything from this podcast 🤪
Me either!! And yes! Thank God!
Jeremiah Tassinari Amen!!!
Amen!!!
Maria Emilia Meireles Vitor Amen Sister, the right response to answer this question would be to explain what happens when a person dies using scripture not what he thinks or his opinion. 11 mins and still no biblical answer

That’s hilarious,me too, i trust God will bring me with him either straight away or on His 2nd coming,i don’t mind. God Bless😄
Nobody that truly believes in Jesus, will face death alone!
He will be there to guide you!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Amen. Please ♥️
Shawn I agree 100% a men !!!
My sister Died of an Overdose in 2015 and my brother died from an overdose this past January 2023 and few days before he died he said he was scared of death and what it will be, and If it’s nothing, and scared as to not BE and the fact of not existing. Said he thinks of our Sister a lot. He was saved but I feel just in turmoil. Odd he talked about death 3 days before. And I wish I had heard this video as to show him that night to give him some peace. I over hear at the service this topic “do you think he’s with Jesus or sleeping until Jesus comes”. This gave me so much peace to hear this video
Until the day I see The Beautiful, Adorable Face of my Lord, & feel the warmth of His embrace😏, I breathe in His Love with grateful Praise & Bless His Holy Name (Sweetest Name in Heaven & earth)every millisecond of the way🙏🕯💕🕯🙏
Amen. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ and the Lord Jesus Christ with us forever.
I wish people would stop speculating. None of us will ever know until we die and learn the secret.
There is a difference between being in someone's presence in Spirit and meeting someone face to face which requires a body.
When we die we will be in the Lord's presence and conscious of bliss, but when the Lord Jesus comes again at the rapture for His church, we will meet Him face to face as we will be in our resurrection bodies or else we will have been changed in a moment of time into bodies suited for Heaven like unto the Lord's body of glory.
At the second coming to earth the glorified saints come with the Lord Jesus and He is glorified in them. (2 Thess. ch. 1 v 10).
This subject makes me think of how God knew us before He formed us in our mother's womb! We didn't have bodies then, so was it our spirit who knew Him?! And when this is all done on earth and we get our glorified bodies how will that be different from before?! Any thoughts?
Yeah, keep thinking that. It'll never happened. Hasn't occurred in the 2000 years since Jesus said it'd happen to that generation. nor did it happen during ANY of the numerous times it was predicted.
@@erichetherington9314 Well I KNOW it's going to happen.........God said, I believe it! I'm sorry you don't, but I am looking forward to it---will be so much better than this world we are in now.
SO YOU SAY WE ARE IN HEAVEN WITH GOD ,WHAT ARE WE DOING. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT TELLS ME. EVERYTHING I READ IN THE BIBLE SAYS WE ARE WAITING FOR OUR RESURRECTION AND FROM THAT TIME ,IF WE ARE A TRUE BELIEVER IN JESUS WE WILL HEAR THE TRUMPET SOUND AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL COME OUT OF THE GRAVE AND MEET JESUS IN THE AIR AND WE WILL BE WITH HIM FOREVER FROM THAT TIME ON.
YES!! Insist on it! DO NOT FOLLOW DEAD FAMILY OR FRIENDS ANYWHERE!! SCREAM FOR JESUS, then see loved ones after.
Wooo, I would have never understood that passage of the bible in that way. I thought the dead soul's would remain in a sleep like manner, then on that GREAT DAY 😃 the dead in Christ would arise first followed by the living. The bible is so amazing and deep. The wisdom of God has blessed us with teachers, so that we will grow as we use the correct applications. Thank you very much for this podcast. You are dearly appreciated!! I am becoming weary, ready to meet the Lord at only 36 years of age. But, like Paul, I will rejoice in the labour for His kingdom untill the KING of Glory returns. Come quickly Lord Jesus, come quickly 🙏🏽
When we die our consciousness stops, our "thoughts perish." We know nothing and are unaware of the passage of time:
"His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish." (Psalm 146:4)
"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." (Ecclesiastes 9:5)
Many times the Bible refers to death as a "sleep." Those who are dead are "asleep" in death, unaware of what is going on. Jesus referred to Lazarus being asleep - dead - before He resurrected him. In Daniel 12:2 we have this reference to the dead and their resurrection:
"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."
When the elect who "sleep in Jesus" are resurrected at Jesus' return (as Paul described in 1 Cor 15:50-54 and 1 Thess 4:13-17) their consciousness returns. Then, along with those "which are alive and remain," they rise to meet Christ. Nowhere does it say they meet Christ before then. And they meet Him "in the air," not in heaven:
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
For those resurrected it will seem like no time had passed since their last conscious moment at death. Paul understood that after departing in death, *_the next thing he would know would be that he had been resurrected and was meeting Christ._* That seemingly immediate meeting with Christ was what Paul was referring to when he wrote "For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better" (Philippians 1:23).
Upon death the mortal body "returns to his earth": the grave. At Jesus' return the "dead in Christ" are raised with immortal, spirit bodies, like Jesus' body after His resurrection. Paul explained this in 1 Corinthians 15:42-54. Then - _not before then_ - we will rise "to meet the Lord in the air." For those in that resurrection it would seem like they were meeting Christ only a moment after their final moments of mortal consciousness:
"Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:6-8)
*Paul was not a hypocrite (believing he'd go to meet Jesus immediately upon his death) but telling the Thessalonians they'd have to wait for a resurrection before they could meet Christ.* No, Paul wrote that he hoped to attain the very same resurrection he told the Thessalonians about:
"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead." (Philippians 3:10,11)
Yes, that is exactly what the bible says. we rest and wait for the trumpet to sound, and the dead in Christ will be resurrected at that time also mortality will put on immortality at that time, new spiritual bodies,just like Jesus's. Nobody goes nowhere till Jesus comes back for us.
thank God for the Holy Spirit that will teach us the truth if we will listen and read the word and pray. Don't change and twist the truth.
@@rosemarybetts4467 Well said, Rosemary, when you wrote *"we rest and wait for the trumpet to sound, and the dead in Christ will be resurrected at that time also mortality will put on immortality at that time"*
who ever wrote the above statements , have it right, When we die we will be like Lazarus asleep waiting to hear the call from Jesus and we will receive our new bodies,and be like him. spiritual.
@@rosemarybetts4467 Thanks, Rosemary!
I guess another scripture that has always perplexed me besides 1 Thesaloniens 4 is John 14 when Jesus says I go to prepare a place for you SO THAT when I come back (2nd coming) I will (future tense) take you to be with me so that you may be where I am.
It appears that we do not see Jesus until the second coming. Also in John 14 Jesus says " No one has seen the Father accept the one who came down from heaven (being Jesus himself ).
Jesus promised to come back and get those believers that die that is the rapture, why are we told to wait and watch for Jesus if we are already in heaven with God, Did Jesus go up to heaven and pull Lazrus out of heaven, no Lazrus was died in the grave and jesus said he was a sleep ,meaning dead and he showed us his power of resurrection when he told Lazurs to come forth. wake up.
That is right, we are all waiting for Jesus to come back and get us ,he will sound the trumpet and we will hear it in our grave and up we go to be with him forever.
THAT IS RIGHT,UNLESS WE DECIDE TO ADD TO THIS STATEMENT. NO ONE HAS SEEN THE FATHER EXCEPT JESUS WHO CAME FROM THE FATHER. THE FIRST TIME ANYONE IS RAISED IS WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUNDS, AND ONLY BELIEVERS GO AT THIS TIME. THE SECOND TIME WILL BE AFTER THE 1000 YRE AT THIS TIME UNBELIEVERS WILL BE RAISED FOR JUDGEMENT.REV.20: 5. READ IT.

Before Jesus died on the cross and ressurect those people that died and knew the LORD was on Abrahams bosom. When Jesus died then they went to Heaven.
Luke 23:43 - Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."
Nuff said.
Yes but heaven and paradise are separate places
But, Jesus wasn't in Paradise/Heaven on that day. Read your Bible.
Yes. You do. “Today you will be with Me in paradise”. Soul sleep is bogus. We don’t take a dirt nap with our body.
Isaac Nussbaum - you’re obviously ignorant of the fact that before Jesus came and atoned for sins, no one could go to heaven when they died, so the OT saints who died were held in a second compartment in the earth, called paradise, where they waited. This place was called Abraham’s bosom in one scripture.
The Bible says Jesus descended into the lower parts of the earth and preached to the spirits in prison, when He died. When He rose He emptied out paradise and set those captives free, which is why the Bible has the account that many dead people arose and went into the city, when Jesus rose from death.
When He ascended He moved paradise to heaven, and Christians who die now go right to heaven.
You’re obviously in a sect or cult that teaches soul sleep, that claims that when you die you take a dirt nap in the ground along with your dead body, which is erroneous.. It’s clear in scripture that the soul departs from its home, which is the body, and doesn’t nap in the dirt at physical death.
So yes, Jesus’ Spirit was in the HEART, the middle of the earth, for three days and nights, while His body was on the surface of the earth in a tomb, and He and the thief on the cross, went to paradise THAT DAY when they died.
Salt Maker - excellent.
Yes, before Jesus atoned for sins, no soul could ascend to heaven.
When Jesus rose, he “ took captivity captive”, and emptied out paradise, and many of the dead arose and went into the city, upon His resurrection.
Isaac Nussbaum - read SALT MAKERs response to you, he saved me time looking up the relevant scriptures, by beating me to it, and posting them in reply to you. Notice that you’re hearing the same thing from many people. Soul sleep is bogus.
Isaac Nussbaum PS: the Bible makes it clear in 2 Corinthians ch. 5, that our body is only a home, that WE leave at death.
2Co 5:1 For we know that if our earthly HOUSE of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2Co 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are AT HOME in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be ABSENT FROM the BODY, , and to be PRESENT with the Lord.
Scripture further makes that clear that at salvation, the Holy Spirit comes into our house, the body, and changes it from just a house, into the TEMPLE of the Holy Spirit.
1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your BODY is the TEMPLE of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
It further makes it clear that our body is a house when Jesus gives an example of a demon possessed man, who had a demon cast out of him, but the demon went out and got more demons, and returned to the man, and found his HOUSE swept clean, and moved right back in and brought the other demons with him, so that man was worse off than he was before.
Mat 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone OUT OF a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Mat 12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my HOUSE from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
Mat 12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they ENTER IN and DWELL there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
In 1st or 2nd Kings, Elijah raises a dead boy. He stretched his body over the dead child and prayed three times for the dead child’s soul to come BACK into the child’s body. When the soul RETURNED to the body, the dead child came back to life.
The dead child’s soul wasn’t hanging around with the child’s body - the soul had LEFT and had to RETURN for the child to live again.
1Ki 17:21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's SOUL come into him again.
1Ki 17:22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the SOUL of the child CAME INTO HIM AGAIN, and he revived.
Then there’s the fact that hell was originally created for satan and his angels, not for man. Jesus made it clear that the same everlasting fire that humans go to, was created for the devil and his angels.
Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
You think he’ll is the grave, yet it’s clear that hell is a PLACE that some of the fallen angels are in right now, in chains, awaiting judgment.
Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Fallen angels are spirits - they have no BODIES to bury in the dirt, but yet they ARE in a place called HELL right now.
2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
Notice that they aren’t SLEEPING in hell, or they wouldn’t need to be chained to prevent their escape.
Soul sleep is absolutely wrong doctrine. You’ve been misled.
Isaac Nussbaum I gave it to you, I sent you more than one reply. And I proved my point with scripture. They are not unrelated.
As a newish believer with a lot to learn, I can't tell if I would benefit more from a straight forward one sentence response or a 60 minute lecture starting from square one. 😵 I can't pinpoint where my questions are.

Lightning Gazelle I’ve been a believer from as far as I can remember but, now is when I’m actually starting to really read he word and spend time with
God everyday, what help me is just praying to God about literally every question and praying about how to start learning his world and what do i need to focus on, and just talk to God and also read the Bible once a day, it may be tedious at first but make sure you pray before and after you read and overtime God will reveal himself to you more and more, and you’ll start to know more and more of what it is your suppose to be focusing on scripturally

awating their resurrection of life or the resurrection of damnation.

You're welcome 💜
Glory be to God
This is such a convoluted explanation of what happens when you die. The Bible is very clear that when we die we go to the grave and wait until Jesus comes to get us.
I’m excited to see both my father’s. My God and my father.
Jesus said “All who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth” (John 5:28, 29). “David … is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. … For David did not ascend into the heavens” (Acts 2:29, 34). “If I wait, the grave is mine house” (Job 17:13 KJV). People do not go to heaven or to hell at death. They don’t go anywhere-but they wait in their graves for the first or second resurrection. 🎉
I pray I hear well done good and faithful servant. 🙏
AMEN!!
Well done, my child.
Ive had several heart attacks and bypass surgery
Last time as I was waiting for surgery I woke up in the hospital in the middle of the night with 2 men in my hospital room. I was looking at them I realized they were my grandfathers. I thought they were there to take me home to heaven. But they didnt speak to me , both of them smiled at me and walked out of the room. I guess they were there to watch over me.
With all due respect Madame, I do not discount for a second what you saw; however angels can appear in the likeness of those we are familiar with. I had a similar experience. An angel appeared in the likeness of my grandfather who passed away when I was a child decades before. It would take too long to explain the circumstance of the appearance, but that familiar appearance was so I wouldn’t be terrified. I could even smell the fragrance of his pipe. My granddad was a tailor. He wore only 3piece suits. This figure looked like him. All I saw was from his barrel chest down, and then heard his words. I wasn’t afraid. These things happen sometimes. Continued good health to you.
True God Jesus always with me in my life b-coz always loving me buhat ng ako ay isilang her guide me Always Amen 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
