One of the most dreadful and most frightful thoughts that afflict human beings is the thought of death. Yet death is inevitable for all mortals.

But as with all things, knowledge causes ignorance to disappear, just as light dissipates ignorance. The fear of death reduces or dissipates when understanding comes.

Thankfully, the Bible helps us to understand what death is, what lies after it, and what comes after it.

Job 8:8-10
King James Version
8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow

This passage shows us the fleeting nature of whatever timespan we spend in our lifetime. We are being told that we are the fathers of yesterday, of the former age.

All the time we spend on earth, for example, even if our gracious God grants you 150years to spend on earth, the days are a shadow, they are passing, fleeting, and unreal.

Death is the physical end of all mortals. But death is not an end in itself, it is just a means of transition from one state to another, from terrestrial to celestial, and then back to terrestrial, and then celestial again, it is a cycle.

One must understand the tripartite state of a person who is alive

The Body: This is the physical containment, this tabernacle, this body of flesh, is a housing, the casing with which we all relate with the material world

The Soul: This is the seat of all cognition, of all affection, of all emotions, temperament, all our likes and dislikes, the intellect, the thought the mind, the soul is the distinct person, it is what distinguishes one person from another person.

The Spirit: This is the life force. This is the part of God that animates a living breathing physically alive person. The spirit powers the body, and then the soul can operate, if there is no spirit, the soul and the body cannot function.

The removal of the spirit by the One who gave it results in the permanent loss of animation of the fleshly tabernacle, and the cessation of all activities relating with the soul - the end of all thought, affection, or emotions. And the degrading of the fleshly tabernacle- which the Bible tells us is created from dust

Ecclesiastes 3:20 KJV
All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

Ecclesiastes 12:1,6-7
King James Version
1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Physical death is the termination of only one phase in a long cycle. Mostly, the fear of death stems from lack of understanding of what it represents and what lies after it. But we see the passage above, it ends by telling us that the spirit returns to God who gave it.

When the spirit returns to God, it becomes one with God. God is everything including the universe. The universe is conscious, it is living and alive.

The next question is what lies after death? Rest for some time with God. Everything within the soul is recorded as the spirit merges with God to be redownloaded into a new body of flesh.

Then God gives the spirit again, it enters another body of dust, which nurtures it as it grows its own body of dust, the soul is added to it, and a child is born.

There is no such thing as You Only Live Once. That's satanic deception.

2 Peter 1:12-16
King James Version
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

This is Peter discussing the imminence of his passage, describing his present body as a tabernacle which he would soon cast off, and reinforcing the fact of reincarnation

Peter who was discussing his imminent decease also said that he will be a partaker of the glory that shall soon be released.

1 Peter 5:1 KJV
King James Version
5 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

What happens at physical death is the retrieval of the spirit by God. Then the fleshly tabernacle returns to the dust, from whence it was made.

So, it looks like what is important is not the shedding of this tabernacle, this body of flesh that enables our spirit to interphase with this physical and material world, what indeed truly appears to be the most important thing is the manner of the shedding of the tabernacle. God shows mercy to all his beloved, and none of them shall see violence or corruption.

Everything in this tabernacle is judgment or reward, all in this body of flesh.

The spirit which exits its tabernacle goes to rest in God who gave it. That spirit will be given an entirely new tabernacle again, in time, to interphase with this physical and material world, to either pay for the evil deeds of the immediate past life- this is judgment, or to reap the fruit of the good deeds in the previous tabernacle, this is what either heaven or hell is all about.

Some reincarnate and suffer. Some reincarnate and enjoy.

God does nor have a place up there in the skies where he incinerates spirits forever.

Avoid karmic sins with all your life, no one escapes, escape is impossible.

Nigeria is the boiling cauldron where God boils disobedient spirits enmasse to purify them in judgment, as punishment for their transgressions, as it is written that judgment will commence from the house of God.

When Rome, the sword of judgment, came in 70AD, this judgment began in the house of God, the temple of God was sacked. The Jews were dispersed by the force of the sword to all the hovels and nooks and crannies of the earth to serve out the punishment for their unending transgressions.

The Israel of God will only be regathered when Jesus Christ returns, at the last trump, when they shall hear his voice that booms like thunder, and shall hurry to his call.

But even in the boiling cauldron, he has wrapped his own in a sheet of divine safety and protection, and the heat can never touch them.

Isaiah 43:1-2
King James Version
43 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Matthew 10:27-29
King James Version
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

The One we must fear is the One who is able to destroy both the body and soul in hell

The body will be subjected to endless physical battery, economic poverty, lack want and need, lose of provision and protection, and increased vulnerability to all kinds of physical mental psychological social economic and political pressures.

The soul will be separated from God. Essentially, this means that the person is a walking talking living-dead android zombified human carcase

BELIEVE IN PSALM ONE. THE LORD WATCHES OVER THE RIGHTEOUS BUT THE WICKED SHALL PERISH.

The more you go out, the more you are vulnerable

You see this period heh, there are so many things to be careful of. Not just only the criminals, the rogues security operatives as well. This is the period they normally do their dirty work.

Vulnerability in outings. You can be robbed, you can be arrested, you might have accident, you might be kidnapped, if you like to drink, you might be spiked, fall into the hands of kidnappers.

The more you go out, the more chances of being a victim

We are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow. This is a very powerful verse because it ties a whole lot of other verses of reincarnation together. We do not remember our past lives because they were shadows- unreal, but nonetheless we are the same fathers of yesterday come back.

The things that people are doing today, what they are today, that is what they have been in all their previous incarnations, there is nothing new under the sun.

The more you believe you are going to Heaven or Paradise after death, the less you are afraid of death.

You want to go to heaven but you don’t want to die. It’s funny.

So reincarnation is biblical!

Too much falsehood!

Not reincarnation, he is talking about the ressurection.

Or just accept the only thing thing certain about life and what we believe is life itself. Everything is a maybe.

Hell, Heaven, and other things in between both beyond-mortality extremes are not certain.

The whole point of life is in the living. Just live it.

We are megalomaniacs who think we deserve some special place because of the hypocritical reward-inducing good things we did as mortals.

You'll dîe and you'll rot. Those two are certain. Every other thing is debatable.

Please enlighten me more on these two points. Does it mean that, the present existence of one's life is the judgement of ones previous reincarnation??
I don't know if you understand me, if you true kindly throw more light.
Stay blessed.

He is a Muslim trying hard to twist the Bible

Reincarnation is not biblical.

Only the ressurections are biblical.

First the first fruits or the first ressurection or the rapture. Is the blessed ressurection. Where Jesus and the Spirit transform our mortal bodies into immortal bodies that are incorruptible

I stay at home as much as i can, but outside Nigeria i went outside danced and had a nice time outside without any desperate person trying to take advantage.

I dont mind hiding myself inside throughout self. Although outside is beautiful but the people are dangerous

mrpresident1 is a Muslim, he is misquoting the Bible to mislead people. Please be careful....

They are not really Christians, maybe they believe in aliens or fallen angels.

Oga its not biblical. There is no reincarnation

Stop believing In Jesus, God or the Bible and you will realize there's nothing to fear about the passage every living creature must one day take..Religion only makes it look scary forgetting that birth brings about life and death must take back into nothingness for balance to exist.

chai, are you joking or you want more confusion.

Nah nah the devil is a liar my friend, Believing in Jesus is a great step. And i am not just saying it for saying sake, its because Jesus is the way the truth and the life, he died for our sins, so we can be reconciled with God. Because salvation is a free gift we do not deserve. This life is not something we can earn or deserve.

You will know the wonders of God, only if you accept his free gift of salvation, he wants to give us life and an abundant life. He will raise us up in the last day.

One must believe in the bread of life.

The fear if death was taught and learn - it was never primordial!

Yeah he died for your sins and he has remained dead I concur...you owe your life to your parents.

To those who are perishing the cross is foolishness but God has used the foolish things to show his power.
