When a person dies, his/her spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 3:21).

Just take that Scriptural knowledge at face value.

Or are you thinking of heaven and hell fire?

Yeah

If you wanna know what happens when a person dies, it's very simple.


Go back to the new testament. Lazarus died and Jesus brought him back to life.


Why wasn't Lazarus judged?


When someone dies his /her soul goes back to the dust from whence it came from.


Just know we have the Real and Imaginary world. Even the Bible warned us about Necromancy( Summoning spirits/ the dead)


Then revelation 20:11-15 will now tell us about the end.

Preciousgirl:


Yeah

Okay. Let's make it very simple.

Firstly, the common belief of going to heaven for the righteous when they die.

Whilst I've perused the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, I can't find even a single verse to support this belief. On the contrary, the Scriptures is saying something completely different from the popular yet unscriptural doctrine.

For example, here's what Jesus said: "And NO MAN hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven" (John 3:13). Again, hear Peter teach the same thing the Lord taught him: "For David is NOT ascended into the heavens..." (Acts 2:34). Yes, that's right... even David is not in heaven. Not only him but NO ONE!

So where is David? "...he is both DEAD AND BURIED..." (Acts 2:29).

If heaven was the reward of the saved and people like David didn't make it, then certainly no one will. But of course, heaven is not the reward of the saved: the promied inheritance is not the heavens but something else.

First see this: "The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the EARTH hath he given to the children of men" (Psalm 115:16). Not that the earth no longer belongs to Him (Psalm 24:1) but He hath GIVEN it out to man as a possession forever.

Now here's the shocker: Desiring to go to heaven is a sin! How? Because it transgresses the tenth commandment (Ex. 20:17). How? When one desires to go to heaven, he/she is actually COVETING that which BELONGS to another- God! Also, we know that coveteousness is the same as idolatry (Col. 3:5).

So, since God had given the earth to man, here's the true promise and reward of the saved:

1. Blessed are the meek: for they shall INHERIT the earth (Matt. 5:5. Jesus is not teaching a new thing here but simply quoting the scripture. Read Psalm 37 for more understanding).

2. And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the EARTH (Rev. 5:10).

So then, armed with these truths, one can't help but dismiss the 'going to heaven belief' as nothing but myth. If anyone has proofs on the contrary, I'd gladly and gratefully accept same.

Next, we'll see the When and How the saints will receive their promised inheritance: ..."not having received the promises..." (Heb. 11:13). And then finally, we'll talk about hell or hell fire.

See you!
