Where Do Infants Go When They Die? 2 Samuel 12 (death of a baby)

Background: This was a young child, who suddenly died.

There is a passage of Scripture in the Book of II Samuel which offers each of us great comfort in the death of this little one whose death as an infant may seem untimely,

Then the Lord struck the child that Uriah's widow bore to David, so that he was very sick. David therefore inquired of God for the child; and David fasted and went and lay all night on the ground. And the elders of his household stood beside him in order to raise him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat food with them. The it happened on the seventh day that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, "Behold, while the child was still alive, we spoke to him and he did not listen to our voice. How then can we tell him that the child is dead, since he might do himself harm!" But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; so David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" And they said, "he is dead." So David arose from the ground, washed, anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he came into the house of the Lord and worshiped. Then he came to his own house, and when he requested, they set food before him and he ate. Then his servants said to him, What is this thing that you have done? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept; but when the child died, you arose and ate food." And he said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows, the Lord may be gracious to me, that the child may live.' But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will nt return to me." (II Samuel 12:15-23).

We know the background to the death of this child all too well. David sinned by committing adultry with Bathsheba and then seeking to cover it up by the murder of her husband, Uriah. God rebuked David for his sin through Nathan the prophet. As a consequence of David's sin with Bathsheba, the child of their illicit union was stricken with a serious illness. Throughout this period of illness, David fasted and prayed, beseeching God to save the life of the child.

God did not choose to restore the health of the child and it died. David's servants were very reluctant to tell him of the child's death. They feared that his grief might be to great and he might do himself harm. They did not have to tell David, because he sensed that the child had died. When asked about it directly, they could not deny it.

The servants were shocked by what happened next. David ceased his mourning and fasting and began to go about life normally. David's response to the child's death was the reverse of what they had expected. When they could not restrain themselves any longer, they asked him pointedly, "Why you responded this way?" David's response is found in verses 22 and 23. It is here that we can find the faith and hope to go on living after the death of the child.

1. David Was Confident His Child Was in Heaven.

While the child was still alive, David was right to beseech God for mercy and healing. But once the child was dead, David could accept this as the will of God, knowing that his child was in heaven. His statement, "I shall go to him, but he will not return to me," indicated that he knew he could not bring the child back, so fasting and prayer for the child was no longer appropriate. When he spoke of going to be with the child, he gives evidence to his faith that the child still lives, but now in heaven. OF greatest comfort to David was the knowledge that while his sins of adultry and murder, were the cause of the child's death, this in no way changed the fact that the child was in heaven.

Why can David be so certain that his child is now in heaven? The answer is not given in this passage. It is perhaps most clearly explained in Romans chapter 5. There, Paul teaches us that it was Adam's sin which made each of us sinful by nature. But he also taught that the death of Jesus Christ has reverses the consequences of Adam's sin, allowing God to give eternal life to all who are "in Christ." By sinning against God, we identify with Adam, and demonstrate that we are worthy of God's judgment and death. By trusting in Christ, we are forgiven of our sins and given the righteousness which leads to eternal life. Infants, by virtue of being born of man and therefore are the descendants of Adam, and consequently must face physical death. But because they have not willfully resisted and rejected the revealed word of God, the death of Christ covers their sins and we can thus be assured that they will go to heaven.

2. David was assured that he would go to heaven, to be with his child.

It is not difficult to believe that David's child would go to heaven. What is more difficult to believe is that David is certain he will be there with the child. While the child did not sin, David had. David had taken another man's wife. David had murdered Uriah, the husband of the child's mother. What possible reason can we find for David's hope of heaven?

The answer to this is found in the 51st Psalm. There we read that David confessed his sin to God and sought His forgiveness. If David can be assured of God's forgiveness for the sins of adultery and murder, surely you and I can be assured of forgiveness as well.
Conclusion

There is great comfort for us in this account of David's sin, and of his hope in the death of his child when we consider the death of this little one. We may, like David, be assured that this child is in heaven, with the Lord. Our confidence in this rests in the work of Christ on the cross of Calvary.

For us who remain and who are adults, the forgiveness of sins and the hope of heaven is not automatic. We must, like David, confess our sins and trust in God's forgiveness. No matter how great our sins, God will forgive and we may be assured of heaven.

There is no question as to where this child is this very moment. The only que

Little Children

"And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:2-3).

Many adult Christians have the mistaken notion that little children are too young to understand the gospel and so should not be allowed to decide for Christ until they are much older.  The problem, however, is not the children; it is the adults who find it hard to understand!  They must become like little children before they can really comprehend the way of salvation and be converted.  Jesus said,

"Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. . . . Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein" (Luke 18:16-17).

After all, what is there to understand?  A very young child, instructed in the Scriptures from infancy as God has commanded his parents (note 2 Timothy 3:15, which uses the Greek word for "baby" as the state in which young Timothy began to know the Bible), can surely comprehend that the God to whom his parents pray made him, that he has sinned against God when he does wrong, that God sent His Son, Jesus, to die for his sins, and that Jesus can save him and take him to heaven.  An adult may require much explanation and may imagine many difficulties, but a child will simply believe--and that's enough!

The word for "little child" or "little children" actually means children who are not much more than toddlers.  It is the same word rendered "young child" when the wise men came to find Jesus in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:8, etc.).  Little children should, by all means, be taught the gospel, and should be encouraged to come to Christ before they grow too old to understand with their hearts! HMM

nah Chief, what i am saying is that 'spirits' are not born. spirits are recycled into new born bodies. the only time  a spirit will die eventually is when the almighty creators son returns to earth to claim his people. those who are not claimed will experience the second death (annihilation of their spirits). but until then ? spirits are simply recycled into new bodys. having said all that, there are 2 ways in which the lord can use his spirits (because he owns the spirits ecclesiastes 12 vs 7). he can use them to either punish someone (say if you are a mother who is into heavy sin and the lord wants to punish you, he will recycle one of his spirits into a new born baby and allow the baby to come through you, then when the baby grows into a kid, he will take his spirit back (hence the kid dies) and this will bring the disobedient parent grief (john 9 vs 1-2).  having said that, another scenario could be that the body to which the spirit was attached to in past life did some very evil things so while the new body it has is that of a kid, the spirit is always the same. hence the lord is punishing the spirit for what it did in past life.

and there is no such thing as hell. hell is a condition on earth. hell is purgatory. the place where spirits are sent so that they can acquire humility and respect and faith in the lord. thats earth. hell is on earth. all the suffering you are going through now, all the corruption, murder, earthquakes, boko haram, racism, hunger etc etc. this is hell you are going through. the purpose of hell is to bring you closer to the lord.

heaven is also on earth. there is no place beyond the skies. hell will be transformed to heaven when the lord returns and kills and destroys all the satanic nations and evil people (about 5 billion people according to world population today) (scripture says two thirds will be destroyed on that day. two thirds of 7 billion people). after these people are destroyed the world will be handed over to 144,000 sealed and righteous men of the 12 tribes of israel. 12000 each from each tribe. these men will be in control of the earth. there will be no more suffering. those left behind will live forever. no oppresion no pain no suffering. lions will go back to eating grass and hence will not eat humans and hence you can play with them. each person will have his own vineyard and fig tree etc etc. utter bliss. evil destroyed forever. peace and joy and love.

Brothers the question is do you want to be amongst the chosen to live forever or the destroyed forever ? you have to accept Yahawashi as your lord and personal savior. you have to have faith in him and most importantly, love your neighbor as yourself and love the lord. when you love your neighbor as yourself you would not want to kill him, steal from him, covet his wife, covet his goods, you have to study your bible (prefarably KJV). stop celebrating pagan holidays (this is idolatry), dont go to man made churches, keep the sabbath day (saturday) holy. do all these things and you shall be one of the chosen who will reign forever with him in the kingdom (on earth)

Children in Heaven

"And |David| said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." " (2 Samuel 12:22-23)

The death of a loved one is always a time of great sorrow, but the death of a beloved child is perhaps the keenest sorrow of all.  Nevertheless, for the Christian believer, we "sorrow not, even as others which have no hope" (1 Thessalonians 4:13).

Our text verse makes it clear that, when a child dies (even one born of a sinful relationship such as this child of David and Bathsheba), that child goes to be with the Lord in heaven.  Jesus said:

"Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 19:14).

Heaven is thus a place where there are many "little children." Their inherited sin-nature never yet had generated acts of willful sin, and their Maker is Himself "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:29), so they are safe in Him.  Although there are few specific Scriptures on this subject, what we do know, both from the love of God and the Word of God, suggests that the souls of all deceased little children are with the Lord in heaven, but also those who died in early childhood (and even before birth) from every time and place since the world began.  There they, along with all those who were saved by personal faith in Christ and are now awaiting the resurrection, will receive new bodies when Christ returns to earth.  The old and lame will be young and strong again, and the children will grow to perfect maturity, for all will become "like him" (1 John 3:2).  "God shall wipe away all tears" (Revelation 21:4), and all will say: "As for God, his way is perfect" (Psalm 18:30). HMM

Re: Would God Send A Young Kid To Hell Fire? by claremont(m): 10:44am On Jan 08, 2012
[b]You see this is one of the arguments I find bizarre and sadistic about Christianity. They tell me that I was born carrying the sin of thousands of years ago, sins I know absolutely nothing about, and that I must believe in a human sacrifice supposedly made 2000 years ago in order to be cleansed from the sins I was born with. How can a kid be held vicariously liable for the sins of a generation of people he/she knows absolutely nothing of?! That is not only sadism at its best, it is also pure and unadulterated wickedness to teach this drivel to kids in our schools.

This argument is so ridiculous that even little kids can see through it, and the good news is that kids of these days are actually seeing through these kind of nonsense. It is only religion that would tell people that sacrificing a human being today is immoral, but believing in a human sacrifice performed 2000 years ago is a perfectly moral and rational thing to do.

Personally, I wouldn't have any problem with religion and religious adherents if they keep to themselves, but unfortunately they do not keep to themselves. Their penile erections is derived from proselytising their falsehood and fairytales to the innocent, the vulnerable, and the gullible. They derive joy from telling little kids that they would go to hellfire if they do not believe in a human sacrifice. This is the reason why we say religion cannot be said to have any modicum of morality in any shape or form, and by extension, religious adherents are the most immoral of all human species IMHO. [/b]

YAHAWASHI is the hebrew name for jesus. it simply means 'he saves' in hebrew. you have to remember that the bible was written in hebrew before the greeks after they conquered the earth changed it to greek and then from greek to latin and romans and english. when the greek converted it to greek, they changed 'Yahawashi' into one of their greek god 'zeus'. jesus simply means zeus. it is a greek word. so when you worship jesus you are actually worshipping the greek god zeus.
