Hey BEAT family! This is a follow-up video from many of the questions you all asked on my video about "Can People in Heaven Watch What's Going on Here on Earth?" Many people made the claim that there are no people in heaven now. This video discusses the idea of soul sleep and whether or not that concept is biblical. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts below!
I liked your analysis of the song Too Good To Not Believe. I do think the verse about real life resurrection could be construed as metaphorically. When we are saved, to me that's "Real life Resurrection" even if no one comes back from the literal dead.
Let me start off by saying i would prefer your interpretation. - I noticed gap filling in all if not most of your examples.It's when a speaker takes advantage of a passage that could be considered non specific, and fills it in with their agenda. Gen 15:15 could be other things like burial site. I can go on about every single verse you examples let me jump to the endish - could it be that things were done differently before Christ in old t vs new t? I think so. It's the only way to explain the differences. I think it's pretty clear when that's brought into perspective and remembered. As the old t seems to back up going straight to and fro rather than sleep. - also there is the debate as you covered about Luke thief on the cross and also the fact that there is the proof that Jesus or God could have specially elected those exampled in ur statements. As Jesus elected resurrection of the little girl and Lazarus just like the thief?? - we can't ignore revelation book either and how many specifities are given that are clear cut about sleep rather than no soul sleep. I mean let's not ignore how many times it says "raise the dead " after the numerous times of talking about new T sleep. I think the key here is the difference of times with Christ on earth and when with out. Alot changed and it constantly mentions "believers". Ans pay attention and read the whole chapter it's actually opposite of what Allen's says. ***But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 NASB1995 Good day
Please, if you’re reading this and don’t mind praying ,please pray for my 1 year old baby girl Reign who has a very low white blood cell count.Thank you in advance!
@@thekeytokrissy1305 I prayed for you and just ask the Lord to be with you in this tough time and that he comforts you and helps you 🙏 and just know what is says in Romans. 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose 🙏
I don’t care if I sleep or I’m translated right away!! As long as I am in the first resurrection and I see my Lord! As long as I hear well done my good and faithful servant!!! As long as my salvation is secured in my Lord Jesus!! That’s enough for me!!
oh man ! Like you didn't read the bible..if died people had souls that go roaming around than the people who died and were resurrected by Jesus or his disciples would say so..but there is no written evidence in the bible..
@@Steve_from_318 Revelation 20:4-6 “And then I saw thrones, and sitting on them were those to whom judgment [that is, the authority to act as judges] was given. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had refused to worship the beast or his image, and had not accepted his mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead [the non-believers] did not come to life again until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. Blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) and holy is the person who takes part in the first resurrection; over these the second death [which is eternal separation from God, the lake of fire] has no power or authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and they will reign with Him a thousand years.” Revelation 20:4-6 AMP
@@manlommastivud6250 It’s a terrible thing to assume my brother! My statement is speaking to the fact that this doctrine in it self does not bring salvation if you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus and has received his salvation. Yet we still have to be wise in order to avoid the temptation of necromancy, in believing that the dead spirits are still roaming around, which in actuality are demons. Since you are curious, I do believe that we sleep until Christ returns. As the Bible states “Now we do not want you to be uninformed, believers, about those who are asleep [in death], so that you will not grieve [for them] as the others do who have no hope [beyond this present life]. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again [as in fact He did], even so God [in this same way-by raising them from the dead] will bring with Him those [believers] who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For we say this to you by the Lord’s [own] word, that we who are still alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede [into His presence] those [believers] who have fallen asleep [in death]. For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the [blast of the] trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord!” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 AMP And many other verses back this belief. I’m not however going to argue with people I do not know on the internet about such, or assume they do not read the Bible! Have a great day!!
Several years ago, I was working for a Christian company. One morning, the man bringing us the devotion for the day seemed rather "out of it." He left the chapel to return, with his wife, to his work area. On the way, he stopped and fell to the floor. He said one word as he left his body--"Jesus!" He obviously was not "going to sleep," but was joining his Savior, whom he saw and who was waiting for him.
Stephen fell asleep when the hateful Jews stoned him to death. The little girl whom Jesus raised up SLEPT like Lazarus (Mary and Martha's brother) did. The dead in Christ SLEEP until the last day/ last Trump/second coming (1Thes 4:13--17; 1Cor -5:51-53) 12:37
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 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! Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Thank you Jesus! My son went home 5 years ago in a tragic drowning accident. But he was ready, Joseph knew Jesus, and was secure in him. Theses scriptures have given me so much comfort. Since his departure, I have purposely studied Heaven, this place that Jesus and our Heavenly Father have prepared for us! So excited for my son, even though I miss him everyday, I know Joseph is in good hands! I thank Jesus everyday for the cross, and becoming my sacrificial lamb for my sins. To all who receive Christ, gives us the right to become sons and daughters of the most high. Thank you for sharing these scriptures, I know them, but will meditate on them today. Grateful to be a part of the family of God! 🕊️🙏♥️
You mean to say that he is In heaven now enjoying the company of Jesus and then during the resurrection he will be sent back to earth just to be resurrected? Besides, how can someone be in heaven before the judgement? Jesus said when he comes again he will receive those faithful one? How can he receive them if they’re already there? So you also mean that there’s no resurrection? The Bible is clear about resurrection? As sad as it is to lose a loved one, it more sad to believe what this guy is teaching about what happens when someone dies. Can you remember who said that you will not surely die? Wasn’t it Satan through the serpent? What did God said? If you of it you will surely die? I’m sorry but this feel good false preaching about someone being in heaven when they die is serpent/Satan language.
@@LRM5195 Then your god is must be a Dummy, God speaks in audibly to humans in different ways in fact He is speaking to all of us every single day. the question is do we all listen or even understand his voice? No,not many even the very body of Christ know His voice. but we listen to many voices speaking daily in our lives through our life experiences, heart, abilities and personality( temperaments)
Wen u cease to exist at death your next conscious thought will be Jesus comming on the clouds of heaven with the angels. That’s the presence of the lord. But wen death comes you don’t go to heaven immediately. death is an enemy it’s not some alternative route to heaven. If that we’re the case then we be ready to get killed to go to heaven but we all have a desire to live
@@chrisjitsu7166 if that’s the case then what’s the purpose of the ressurection? Isn’t Jesus comming back for the dead in Christ first ? The souls under the alter is symbolic
That text is so misquoted. People always leave off the first part and run with the last part of the text. It is true that IF we are absent from that old body and in our new body, we are present with the Lord. But that's not what the text says. I'm not sure if you are quoting the text right now or just making a statement that when we are out of our current body, we're with the Lord. If that is the case (that you are making a statement), then it is true. But since I've gone this far with this (because many people do misquote the last part of the text and erroneously believe that they go immediately to heaven upon death based on that), let me continue on. If one looks carefully at the text, it says, "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." So, basically what it tells us is that WE'RE WILLING TO BE ABSENT (basically desire to be absent from that old body) SO THAT WE CAN BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD. It is not telling us that as soon as we die, we are present with the Lord -- That is what some believe, and that is so not true.
I always use the illustration of a baby being born. In the womb they are in a familiar place. But when they come out they have no control. They are simply trusting in who is there delivering them. Whenever you die you enter into another room. If you’re anything like me you’re trusting in Jesus to be there waiting on you to receive you on the other side.
One second you're an autonomous being and the next you have 0 control over what's happening. I cannot even imagine the fear when non believers pass and open their eyes to see they were wrong their whole life.
What’s worse will be the fear and bemusement of those who believes in a false version of Christianity (which is the majority) only to be rejected by Jesus as he expresses to them, “I never knew you. Depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.” (MATTHEW 7:21-23)
My grandmother passed today. She was the anchor and backbone to many in the family. I can't sleep tonight as I am away from my family and taking refuge in God's word to comfort myself during this time. RU-vid somehow gave me this video and I know my grandmother was a believer, she taught me about Jesus, and now I know she is not sleeping, but in the very loving arms of our Lord and savior. This gives me great peace, but I am still hurting deeply... please pray for me and my family. She was 93 years old and passed after she got home from her doctor visit today..she taught me everything I know, and was there when I was born, through school, and all of my life.. I am truly heartbroken💔
God bless you and May He give you peace knowing that since you’re a believer that you will be with your beloved grandmother again one day. God bless you!
God bless you. I lost my dad around the same time you posted this comment. He also was a believer. A strong Christian and I have no doubt he is with Christ. This video is a confirmation.
@@buka.a prayers to you Abraham. May God's love and peace comfort you always. My grandfathers name is Abraham (and so is my uncle), it's family name so thank you for sharing.
What an amazing and comforting video, to be reminded that the loved ones I lost (believers) are right now in the presence of Almighty God and enjoying their time there!☺️🙏🏽🙌🏽
Hello Beat family ,I wanted to share this with you guys. My mother was sick with liver cancer and in Feb of 2019 she departed with the lord. She lived in Florida and also my brother and sister. They got to be with her at her death bed and said their goodbyes. I at the time lived in Connecticut and even though i saw her for a few days for Thanksgiving of 2018 I didn't see her before she died. When i got to Florida she was already gone for 9 hrs because she die at 2 am and i got there at 11am. Out of all her kids i was the only one serving the Lord and was praying and fasting for her healing but God had other plans. A few months later i woke up from my sleep and on my bedroom wall the Lord showed me a vision of my mother in heaven. I was not asleep. I saw her well, not sick and she was in this huge beautiful Mansion . She was sitting down and there was a table right next to her with the most beautiful centerpiece of lots of flowers. She was at peace, at rest. This place was beautiful and i will share my testimony in my channel very soon. Too much to say here. I will never forget it, never! She was happy and not asleep.She was awake!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Did your mother appear younger in the vision the Lord shared with you than she had been when she passed away? As you did not share how old she was when she went heaven, I do not know if she was elderly or not, but, if so, I would imagine she is significantly younger in heaven. God bless you and I would love to hear more details of the vision the Lord gave you. 🙏 🕊
@@LilXancheX Acts 2:17 “’In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” You shouldn’t be so cocky
I lost my husband/best friend of thirty years this past November; I was the only one in the room just before the angels took him Home. He couldn't speak, and tears were rolling down his cheeks. I gave him permission to go home; and let him know that I will be okay...and thirty seconds later he left.
@DiscipleDave DotCom Take out the log in your own eye before you puff up so high and mighty. You come off being very judgmental. That's a red flag! Judge not lest ye be judged. Jesus' grace is sufficient for us.
You are absolutely spot on with your explanation of where we go when we die. I love listening to your videos, because so far everything that I have heard you speak on is directly from Scripture, and as John has told us to examine everything to make sure it is the word of God. Love you brother!
Just a little review of scripture would show you that he is indeed NOT spot on. He is wrong and adding interpretations to scripture that is contradictory to other scriptures.
The single most important message of all prophets to their people was to worship God alone and none else and to follow His teachings. All of them, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Jesus, Muhammad and others, in addition to those we do not know - invited people to worship God and shun false gods. Moses declared:"Hear, O Israel The Lord our God is one Lord."(Deuteronomy 6:4). This was repeated 1500years later by Jesus, when he said: "The first of all the commandments is, ‘Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord.’(Mark 12:29) So, the greatest commandment, the most important belief according to Jesus, is that God is one. If Jesus was God he would have said, ‘I am God, worship me.’ Instead, he merely repeated a verse from the Old Testament confirming that God is One. This aligns with the mission of Jesus, as taught in Islam, where Jesus was sent to the Children of Israel to confirm the message of the past Prophets - to believe in the One True God. most Christians nowadays believe in trinity.. Jesus said i came not to destroy the commandments of moses i came just to fulfill. Muslims reject the Christian belief that God is a Trinity, not only because the Quran rejects it, but also because if this was God’s true nature, He would have clearly revealed it to Abraham, Noah, Jesus and all of the other prophets. ISLAM is the submission in worship to Allah Alone and it is the essence of all the Messages sent to all nations before us. Allah is All-Just and All-Wise. He does not intend confusion for His Creation. The religion accepted to Him is the one chosen by Him. Its essence must be One, because He is One. It is free from geographical, racist, and status oriented concepts. It is Perfect and it is the complete way of life. All these qualities are chosen by Allah in His Only Religion: Islam. Its details are in in the Qur’an, read it and come with an open heart because none can expose better than the World of Allah. The Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad. He did not author it. He was unlettered. Its translation is available in many languages in bookstores or in an Islamic Center close to you. Take the time to read it and come/call the Islamic Center, or speak to someone who re-verted and submitted to Allah Alone. Watch some discussions between Christians and Muslims👇 (One Message Foundation) Thank you for reading the comment🌸 ..................................................................................................
You might be interested to know that the word "spirit" in the bible does not refer to the idea of the human soul even one time. Similarly, the word "soul" found in the new testament is actually the greek word "psyche" meaning "mind." At no point does the Bible actually suggest (at least in it's original languages of hebrew and greek) that there is a separate "soul" that leaves our bodies when we die. Interesting, huh?
Ecclesiastes 9:5 King James Version 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.
Really! The malefector who was crucified with Jesus said, "Remember me WHEN you come in your kingdom." He knew that he wouldn't be in heaven that same day. He knwew it was upon the resurrection that he would be with His Savior. I could give so many examples from the Bilble. Marthe said to Jesus concerning Lazarus that she knew she would see him at the resurrection. Peter, speaking of David, said, his tomb is among us. Jesus said, no one has ever gone to heaven except the one that came from heaven. Jesus while speaking said; I will go and prepare a place for you and when I am done, I will come back and get you whereever I am, there you would also be. The Bile is so clear on this topic. See, I did not even enter into a doctrinal study of the subject, I only took just a few story lines from the Bible that do not require a lot of thinking to show that what he is teaching is false. And, Allen says it well. He says, this is what I believe. Therefore, he is correct, it is what he believes. In teaching the word of God, it's not a matter of what I believe, it is "thus saith the word of God." Allen Parr , although I believe he is sincere, but he is deceived by the devil. We can only pray that one day he can see clearly.
@@donnaroberts4513 You're right, she's not. She's in the grave without any consciousness.(Eccl.9:5) She has the hope of being physically resurrected here on earth.(Acts 24:15;Psalm 37:9,11,29;Matt.5:5;Isaiah 11:6-9) That's not the same as the 1st resurrection mentioned at Re.20:6
@@thokozilemagudulela7737 When verse 14 is read in context of that chapter, and all that Scripture cites regarding mankind's state in death and resurrections, God will bring to Heaven those who sleep in Jesus with Jesus (Him) when He returns to Heaven after gathering the dead in Christ (those who sleep in Jesus) who rose first and the living in Christ. While there are some who are in Heaven now who were resurrected and taken there (such as Moses and many of the saints who arose at Christ's resurrection, Matthew 27, Jude 1), verse 14 doesn't imply that when Christ returns the second time, He's bringing a vast group of people with Him to earth who had been previously in Heaven when they went there immediately at death.
She’s not in heaven right now she ceases to exist in the grave until Jesus returns. Rerember the dead in Christ will rise first. It wouldnt make sense if she’s in heaven with Jesus and we know that Jesus is comming to raise the dead from their graves. And I’f she’s in heaven that would mean she would make 2 trips to heaven. Heaven then back to earth to recieve her body then return back to heaven again ? Does that makes sense to you ?
I recently loss my mom and 3 days ago my brother. Thank you for this video as it is comforting. I will meditate and ask the Holy Spirit for a clearer understanding. Because I’m earnestly seeking wisdom from God, I’m certain He will bless my efforts.

@@siouxfan1716 Grand Evening: When that chapter is read in its proper context up to that verse, it just simply means: Paul would rather be changed (absent) from the sin nature of the flesh ( from the body) and present with the Lord ( being pleasing to him while clothed in his righteousness). That scripture has NOTHING to do with death, dying and going to heaven as it is strongly implied in the subsequent verses.
Yeah, and there's also a verse in the Bible says you can beat your slaves as much as you want as long as they don't die within a day or two (Exodus 21:20) Am I to take that seriously? You should wake up and start living in reality and stop believing in fairy tales😵

@@trj7078 That's a poor excuse. Where else in the Bible did Christ say "I tell you TODAY" or "Today I tell you the truth". If you go back to the original Aramaic/Hebrew, or even the Coine Greek it makes perfect sense. Jesus is talking about being in Heaven today, not qualifying "when he tells him". Not only is it obvious he's telling him "today" but it's totally unnecesary and uncharacteristic of how the Gospel authors portray Christ speaking. The typical wind-up seems to be "Verily I say unto thee" or "Verily I tell you"... but never, "I tell you this truthfully TODAY"... Jesus wanted to comfort the thief that TODAY, that day they would be in Paradise together because that theif had repented and had faith. Also, see my point about God being an infinite being outside of space and time. God has no need for 2000 years or 2 million years. God exists beyond time and above time. So the idea of an Infinite all-powerful deity needing to "put us to bed" for a few thousand years is just absurd on its face. The more LIKELY mistranslation is the word "sleep" since Biblical authors had no understanding of the brain and hence sleep, death, coma, unconsciousness, or a body at rest in a grave would all use the same word "sleep". The body sleeps, the body dies, the body goes unconscious... but the soul cannot, and it would seemingly be absurd for an Infinite Being to "put a soul to sleep" for a while. I'm going to put my faith into the words of Christ, and he told the theif that Paradise was just a few moments away. Jesus also told his disciples that "He will go to his Father in Heaven" upon the ressurrection. Peter saw Elijah and Moses (who weren't sleeping) and in Revelations John saw visions of souls in Heaven with God. I think the evidence and the logic stacks up to prove "soul sleep" is a false doctrine. It's also bizarre that only a few select sects of Christianity are the only faiths who espouse "soul sleep" and all other religions seem to share the concept of the immortal and eternal soul.
@@ralphralpherson9441 question, pls. Did Jesus go to paradise that day? John 20:17 : "Touch me not, for..."

@@donieboy2303 Jesus went to Abraham's Bosom (holding place for the faithful dead which was Paradise. Eden was on earth and was Paradise before the Fall. Heaven was not the only paradise. PARADISE IS BEING FOUND IN CHRIST. The old testament faithful were all WAITING for God's promised Messiah and their FAITH IN GOD'S MESSIAH WAS COUNTED TO THEM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. GOD is Faithful and sent His Son to bear all our sin on that cross and offered up to the Father as our perfect sin offering and in doing so He took the full undiluted wrath of God's judgment on sin IN PLACE OF THE BELIEVER IN GOD'S MESSIAH. It's always been about JESUS...precious JESUS...what a wonderful Savior!!!
I agree with the commentator on this However, I think there's enough room for disagreement on this subject that we need not call soul sleep a "false doctrine". it's simply a different interpretation and a reasonable one. Ultimately we just need to do what Paul admonishes us to do and that is to be ready.
I agree it is very extreme to talk about “false doctrine”. The fact is there is a lot of Scriptures signaling the souls sleep until Judgement Day. I think The God Culture brings a much better and profound understanding of this biblical matter.
Actually you can dig a bit deeper into theology and history and find out it is a false doctrine. Ecclesiastes is a good example of the writer simply saying without god there is nothing worth anything. He says if there is no god then the dead know nothing.
Keep in mind that to God and Jesus, death is legitimately interpreted as sleep because only they can bring you out of it and re-animate, or RESURRECT you at will.
@@Deepthoughts4ever False message Sorry but if u study gods word you will find out that Your made of dust and spirit which is the breathe that's in you. when u die you will go to the grave while your breathe/spirit leaves your body. The dead are Sleep(unconscious)and will rise again John 14:3 Jesus says "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Gen 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath or (spirit)of life; and man became a living soul.

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 appreciate the biblical references given! Whatever we believe, it’s important to be able to back it up with scripture taken in context with a good hermeneutic!!
I got word my niece passed away this morning. She had cancer and it had moved to her liver. She was a believer, thankfully, and I had some peace with that, but my oldest daughter had been very close to her. They weren't just cousins, they were best friends. My daughter texted me that she was having a hard time finding any joy even in the knowledge that her cousin was with Christ. This message popping up in my RU-vid feed today is absolutely the best gift of the Lord that I can share with my family today. Thank you, thank you, brother Allen🙏💕

Thank you Allen for good explanation. To add up... from my personal experience, I almost died in ICU and found myself running going up. I could not control my body but was able to think and ask myself question.. where am I going?? Then I found myself in a place where I could not explain the peace. So much peace. I saw so much people, each sitting in his chair so quiet so peaceful all in white. Then I arrived at a reception point, as I was being seated ( as you have no control over your motion, there is a force that controls you when you are dead not yourself) I awoke and found panel of doctor surrounded me. The a nurse told me"you are so lucky doctors where around, the situation was very bad" I told her I went very far up there... then nurses looked at each other with surprise. I was only 14yrs at that time. Therefore I know for sure.. there is life after death, and is GOD controlled.

Last year, I lost my youngest son to Covid at the age of 33. Not a day, hour or moment has gone by that I don't think of him. My tears haven't stopped flowing, for there is a void in my heart that is so painful. It's a pain that I wish upon no one. Christ knows of this pain, for it is written that upon hearing of his friend Lazarus' death, He wept. My son was a Beautiful and loving soul. Daniel's passing affected the community, to the degree to which people asked me "Who was Daniel?" They wanted to know who he was, because he was different from the ordinary; extraordinary. He motivated, encouraged and loved people. I live to see my son again. When The Most High gave me Daniel, He gave me an angel. This video through the Holy Spirit gave me comfort. Much love and blessings to you all!
@@anthonypena4931 Beloved, I want you to know that I am grateful to THE MOST HIGH for you! Today, I needed to hear this blessed message. It meant everything to me, and it put a smile on my face and in my heart! Much love and blessings to you!💖
My condolences but he’s not in heaven right now he ceases to exist in the grave until Jesus returns. Rerember the dead in Christ will rise first. It wouldnt make sense if she’s in heaven with Jesus and we know that Jesus is comming to raise the dead from their graves. And I’f she’s in heaven that would mean he would make 2 trips to heaven. Heaven then back to earth to recieve his body then return back to heaven again ? Does that makes sense to you ?
When we die the Bible speaks clearly of what happens to all of us…..Ecclesiastes 12:7 - “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.” In other words, when a person dies, his or her spirit goes back to God (doesn’t say Heaven) the body returns to dust and the soul of that person comes to an end. That is why Job 27:3 says, “All the while my breathe is in me, and the spirit of God is my nostrils.” Ecclesiastes 9:5 says, “For the living know that they will die, but the dead know not any thing.” When you die you know nothing. You are not aware of what’s going on earth and you are not looking down from heaven because the dead knows nothing. In order to be conscious of anything you must have a soul. But a soul is the combination of body and spirit. When the two no longer exist together, there is no soul and there is no consciousness of anything. At this present time, no one is in heaven or hell. Acts 2:29 and 34 tells us that King David is both dead and buried and his grave is still with us today. But King David has not yet ascended into heaven. His body has turned to dust and his spirit is back with God and his soul no longer exist. If this is true for David, then it is also true for everybody else. Nothing happens to the dead until Jesus returns. I Thessalonians 4:13-18 makes it perfectly clear what happens when we die. The passage begins by saying the Lord does not want us to be ignorant about what happens to the dead in Christ. The dead in Christ refers to those who have died as saved or born again Christians as a result of accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. If you as a Christian, believe Jesus died and rose from the dead, then we too will eventually rise from the dead. And that will happen when Jesus returns. I Thessalonians 4: 16-17 says, “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 us together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be with the Lord forever.” It is perfectly clear that we will all go to heaven at the same time. This eliminates anyone being able to say, “I got to heaven before you did
“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28 ESV The above verse clearly indicated that a person can kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Therefore, your notion that the soul cannot exist if the body and spirit are separated is wrong. And the soul is not a combination of the body and spirit, the soul is its own thing. “And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.” Matthew 27:50 NIV Here we see Jesus giving up His Spirit to the Father and died right after doing so. This proved that your spirit can be alive while your body is dead. So, you can also say that your soul can also be alive while your body is dead. “For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption.” Acts 2:27 ESV The above verse clearly refutes the claim that a person soul comes to an end after death. How can the soul be abandon if the soul no longer exist after death? And you also misinterpreting Acts 2:29-35. Here Peter is referencing Psalm 16:8-11 to explains to the audience that these verses were referring to Jesus Christ and not King David himself. Because King David is still in the grave rioting but Jesus rose from the grave after 3 days. The soul is the combination of our mind, emotions, memory, feelings, and thoughts. These are the things that make us human. If your soul died, you cease to be YOU. “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:29 ESV.
Do you believe that humans and animals have the same fate when they die? You should because that is Scriptural truth. (Ecclesiastes 3:19) for THERE IS AN OUTCOME FOR HUMANS AND AN OUTCOME FOR ANIMALS ; THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME OUTCOME. AS THE ONE DIES, SO THE OTHER DIES; and THEY ALL HAVE BUT ONE SPIRIT. So MAN HAS NO SUPERIORITY OVER THE ANIMALS, for everything is futile. This will require a complete rethinking of your beliefs if you want to know the real truth.
"And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment." (Hebrews 9:27) NLT Thank you Pastor Allen for sharing and explaining. God bless you and your RU-vid Ministry channel.
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.
Daniel:12 [13] “As for you, go your way until the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days, you will rise again to receive the inheritance set aside for you.”
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. I Thessalonians 4:16-17 NKJV
The dead will rise first means that our physical bodies (spirits and souls intact) will walk out of the graves. This had nothing to do with where your soul goes after death.

As usual, Allen did an awesome job, using scripture to prove our souls do not "sleep". Our bodies do "sleep" , but our spirit/soul is in heaven with God. Great job and thank you Allen. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Psalms 146:4 "His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish." Psalm 104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Gen 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Your made of dust and spirit which is the breathe that’s in you when u die you will go to the grave while your breathe/spirit leaves your body the dead are Sleep and will rise again John 14:3 Jesus says “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
Our spirit/ breath goes back to God but there is NO consciousness. Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die; but the dead do not know anything, nor do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten. King David speaks of this as well in the psalms.

I just noticed something I’ve never thought about before. When the rich man was in torment and saw Lazarus sitting at the side of Abraham, he still treated the poor man as someone who should be serving him. He asked Abraham to have Lazarus dip his finger in water and bring it to him. He didn’t even address Lazarus. He only wanted Lazarus to do for him. Is this a a reflection of the rich man’s heart? Even though he had died and was in torment his heart still was haughty. Still not loving and still only saw Lazarus as someone who should serve him? Also I’ve heard many say you do not burn until you’re thrown i to the lake of fire after judgement. But the rich man said he’s in anguish in the flames. So do you go to flames immediately? Are there flames in pre-judgement AND post?
Powerful video and full of scripture. After watching The Revelation bible breakdown you did before. Glad to see you reference it again here with the souls under the Tabernacle waiting for God to avenged them. I believe when we died we believers go to be with Christ and our ancestors and love ones and be in the presence of our holy Spirit. That is what the scripture says and I am all for it. Amen to this video Brother Parr You explained it thoroughly
I know it's tough right now yet you were brought here for your well being,keep the faith in THE truth you Will get through this by the faith and knowledge you have in the Lord he can and will comfort you just ask. All of that to say it all work for for me when this happened in my life. try it thru the tears it works,much love my friend
Well dang! This completely changes a lot of what I thought🤔. I personally don’t think our loved ones can look down on us. Plus watching over us, as SO many people believe. I think people think that too ease their minds 🤷🏽♂️. My mind always wander to this topic. Me and wife every so often talk about what it must be like after we die. That’s some of our best conversations that we have with each other. Sometimes our kids join our conversation as well. It then becomes a family discussion.
5For 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. 6Also 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. Ecclesiastes 9:5
When you are with the LORD you can only do as he allows.Sometime HE will allow a soul to guide someone.There are many cases of people on their death bed seeing someone who passed before them and even talking with them about their transition.
I agree. I think being able to see us still in our imperfect bodies and ways would be so depressing for the saints in heaven. Especially if they could see their loved one still an unbeliever.
I love your teaching Dr. Allen...This gives me great comfort that my parents and my three brothers are not in some bottomless pit on non-existence after they passed away like in the movie 300...They are now in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ who does all things well...
Sorry but if u study gods word you will find out that Your made of dust and spirit which is the breathe that's in you. when u die you will go to the grave while your breathe/spirit leaves your body. The dead are Sleep(unconscious)and will rise again John 14:3 Jesus says "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Gen 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath or (spirit)of life; and man became a living soul. Psalms 146:4 "His breath(spirit) goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish." Psalm 104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath (spirit) they die, and return to their dust.

@@chrisjitsu7166 that’s symbolic do you really think the souls under the alter will be concerned with such a thing about vengeance? No I do think so it’s a representation of all the martyrs who were killed for their faith.
@@silasr20 rich man and Lazarus story Jesus uses real names and people in this story even if it was a parable it sounds they went somewhere after they die and were very aware so is Jesus lying then ? Soul sleep u think is real then that vision of John had in the book of revelations about the souls crying out to God under his alter was false then so Jesus lied again? I seen the verses you guys use alot or the Greek translation u guys use alot for your argument but when we use our is a wrong translation or symbolic
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 needed to hear this. Still new believer of a year and when someone told me that you sleep until the Lord wakes you up crushed me. I had a hard time with that. After this video I am back to joy that I WILL be with my father in heaven
Luke 23: And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” *43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”* Sure sounds like the Man Himself meant TODAY, not 200 years from now... TODAY as He already paid the price for your soul that day.
Don't let it crush you. Jesus is worth waiting on. You are loved and a child of God. As you gain new information, ask the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you. Jesus is real. He came and saved us from the power of sin. When He returns, He will make all things new. Because of Him we can have life in Him now and for eternity. Be blessed.
I encourage to read and trust God’s word even when it says something you don’t like. If the thought that you’ll sleep until Jesus resurrects you crushes you then knowing God’s word will take that load off you because his truth always sets you free.
@@ralphralpherson9441 now placed that comma after the word today. You’ll see that Jesus was giving the thief the assurance that day that he will be with him in heaven one day. Jesus did not ascend into heaven after died he went to the grave
I don’t understand why your crushed at that death is not an alternative route to heaven death is an enemy. Death is not something we like. When u die u cease to exist its that simple the Bible never teaches that we have an immortal soul. The Bible says the soul that sinneth it shall die

I read tracts by Jehovah's Witnesses when I was young and I remember they said you would awaken at your grave when Jesus returns.

Remember: the serpent in the garden told Eve “you shall not die…”, a lie millions and millions of Christians today believe. When we die, we do not shed our skin like serpents and continue to be alive in a different form. Believe God, not man. From dust we were formed and to dust we return. Death as sleep is true. When you die, you rest until your resurrection.

@@user-ek2ms4om7p The ungodly are the walking dead lions the godly are live dogs.

You have a very selective distortion with scripture, lacking context and leaving out things.
I say we just go to God and allow the Holy Spirit to teach us and reveal it to us because man is gonna always have different opinions about these topics and bring in their own interpretations which can bring confusion and we know God and confusion dont mix at all but the Holy Spirit reveals even the Deep Things of God.
I think God probably won't reveal it to us anyways. Coz if the people from both sides of the argument actually spent time seeking answers from God concerning this matter, then they wouldn't even be debating about this. Just my thoughts...
@@nyaradzochivandire5758 exactly. I feel like this is a topic that won’t be revealed. All that matters at the end of the day is if all Christ believers have the same belief on salvation.

Anyone watching this: Brother Parr is teaching you how to properly use the WHOLE BIBLE when answering questions. Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE)... there will always be several verses to support a clear answer. If you're struggling, ask your study parter or follow your chain of study. Or, it may just be part of the God's Secret Things category. Everything we need is in the Bible. Brother Parr is teaching you how to study by example. Thanks, Brother Parr!
Great response 👍🏾 brother I was praying to the Lord about this issue and you answered it. I was right but was just confused on some thing's but when you broke the scripture down. It's plain and simple, see at the great celebration. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you on this topic 🙏🏾
Daniel 12:2 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. I Kings 2:10 So David slept with his father, and was buried in the city of David. Acts 2:29 let me speak freely unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and in his sepulcher is with us unto this day. 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, 2:35 until I make thy foes, thy footstool" John 3:13 and no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man, which is in heaven. John 5:28-29 marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves, shall hear his voice, and shall come forth, that they have done good, unto resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. I Thesolonians 4:13-17 Concerning them which are asleep... even so them also which sleep in Jesus... we which are alive... shall not prevent them which are asleep... for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven... 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 meat the lord in the air, so shall we ever be.
Every one that dies sleeps except the ones who God took to heaven by His will, the Bible teaches that when JESUS CHRIST comes back those who died in Christ will rise first....the Angel told daniel to go and rest till the time of the end then he would rise to his inheritance.
Thank you so much for this video. My dad passed away from cancer several years ago and just before he passed, a preacher came to him and told him that anyone who doesn’t believe in the soul sleep just weren’t deep enough into Bible study. This totally confused me. I was going to ask you for a video on this exact topic and it’s like you read my mind. Again, God answers prayers in unusual ways. Thanks again. Have a wonderful day.

You need to accept the fact that your father is gone! We all die that's just the way it is we only get one life so live it to the best of your ability.. Don't listen to these fake preachers or pastors, it's not going to do you any good.😵
@@donstrong1717 Wow... you know Christ tells us to LOVE one another, not shout terrible things at people (your father is gone!) over the internet. That was one of the LEAST Christ-like things I've seen in these comments. Really... do better. Sure we all die but our soul is saved by the Blood of Jesus, paid for in full by our loving Savior. Anita, I believe you will be reunited with your father in God's loving arms upon death. "Soul Sleep" doesn't even make sense. God is INFINITE and exists outside of our Universe. Therefore he is not bound by, nor subject to Time. Time is a phenomenon of our Universe and CAN only affect those things WITHIN the universe. God Transcends the Universe and exists outside of our reality. He transcends it. So an Infinite God making all his children wait a "finite" period of time to reunite seems just... fundamentalist, literalist rubbish. It doesn't even make sense. Look deep into your heart and ask God for yourself, don't believe some mean person on the internet who has some self-serving need to be right about a scriptural argument. We have a God of Love... not of vengeance. Christ bought our souls from death the day he perished on the cross.
My mind is blown. I’m so invested in my “temporary” future here on earth, I forget that God has the biggest finale of all time that we will all experience. My mind is BLOWN . I serve an awesome God
I was taught from a very early age that when we die we go to Heaven. My Nana,who I adored, died when I was 8, but my Mom explained she is in Heaven and we will see her again. Her friends said “Why don’t you just tell her she’s sleeping?” My Mom said why should I lie to her and if she thinks she’s just sleeping she will expect her to wake up” “If I’m going to raise her as a believer in Jesus I want her to understand why Jesus died and because of that when we die we go to Heaven” And when my Poppa died, the night nurse told us he was reaching out his arms and talking to someone. So I like to think that an Angel came to take him to Heaven and he could see my Nana waiting for him. It’s that blessed assurance that even though we mourn when someone dies we know they are in the most beautiful place ever.
Please get the wonderful truth of where your Mother is! While the soul in NOT immortal, and your Mother is in the grave, if she died in Jesus, she will be resurrected at Jesus' 2nd coming! Right now, she "knows nothing" (Eccl 9:5,6,10), and is not praising the Lord (Ps 115:17). But if she died in Jesus, she will live again, but not until then. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JlK5E_vDdI4.html
You couldn't be more wrong, death is the same for humans and animals as the Bible clearly says. Are there animals going to Heaven? Do animals have a soul? Then neither do humans and anyone who thinks differently is putting their opinions as superior to Scripture.

Um… Elijah could not have been sleeping because he never died. He was taken up alive in firey chariots… starting to wonder if you actually read these things…
@@truthbetold8610 2nd kings 2:11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. Please, no matter who it is, double check with scripture first.
@@truthbetold8610 Deuteronomy 34 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ⁵ So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. ⁶ And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” - Jude 1:9 (KJV) Moses showing up with Elijah at the mount of transfiguration is proof of his resurrection. He died, the Lord himself buried him, was resurrected, and Satan argued against it. likely the argument was because while Enoch had been taken without death, Moses is the first to be resurrected to eternal life and Jesus hadn't died on the cross yet so in a sense God was using his credit card on Moses (and Elijah and Enoch for that matter too)
my grandfather left his body over 40 years ago. he had an outer body experience where he spoke with God. no one believed him(i did). Well before the age of internet where now its easy to type NDE, his experience was very similar to theirs. God told him if they didn't hear him they didn't hear God and to go spread His word. He was obedient to God and did so until last November in hospice where he earned the name "preachers man" by the nurses. He was my greatest teacher next to my father(who passed 6 years ago) and mother. I know they are loving paradise together.
Wow, that was a brilliant and enthusiastic presentation that got me even more confused. Mr. Allen, the scholar, the simplest text that I can quote is Genesis 2: 7. (Dust of the ground + breath of life = Living Being (Soul). That is how man had came into this world. Therefore, if a person die (sleep), it is just a reverse of how he is created. God take the breath of life, body goes back to the dust of the ground and we are left with nothing.
What great confusion is caused in the interest of someone (particularly false teachers) not wanting to humble themselves of God’s word! Instead, they try to piece together scriptures taken out of context or misinterpreted to fit a narrative that sounds good but lacks truth. “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.“
Thank you for this! Just last night someone in my Baptist church was telling me that we sleep in the upper part of Hades awaiting the rapture. I disagreed and now I have scriptures to back it up! Just subscribed to you and looking forward to more from you. Sue
You’re right Bro. Allen!! “To be absent from the body IS to be present with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:8. Blessings to all! Let’s STAY in God’s word and seek the Holy Spirit. Thanks for the break down.
I am under the impression that the soul is different from the spirit. God keeps us alive with his spirit, and when we die the spirit) immediately goes back to God ( read Gen. Chapter 6 vs 3), our souls don't have the capacity to maintain life in the structure. And Jesus called dead sleep.
Me as well. I was torn when I saw a video on soul sleep. So much that I cried for a long time. This has helped so much. I'm glad to have the biblical references to turn to although those who believe in soul sleep have references as well.
What is scary about soul sleep? it just mean that you/someone is sleeping until the day of the judgement. I think it's more scary if someone, for example, died 200 years before christ and is now in hell burning until today, THIS IS SCARY.
@@cholou9708 Genesis 2:7 KJV And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. KJV. The man IS a soul not HAS a soul. Ezekiel 18:4 KJV: Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die. So Even if the soul is what Allen Parr says, it is not immortal. There are over 25 verses in the bible that says those who are dead, know nothing. Ps 6:5 (NIV) Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave? Ecclesiastes 3:19-20 For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts; for all is vanity. 20 All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again. Ecclesiastes 12:7 (KJV) Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. What makes you you, is the SPIRIT in you. It's the spirit that returns to God. There is nothing to fear about death. Check out Philippians 1 in which Paul is torn between wanting to be with Christ and remaining with the brethren. Daniel 12:2 (NKJV) And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt. Death is like sleep. The Bible calls death “sleep” fifty-four times. Please, do some research. Allen Parr is wrong.
I have recently, in the last few months researched every aspect I could on this subject.. I am a Christian.. Went to private school my entire life and still go to church or listen to the word multiple days a week.. I was taught what everyone I thought was taught, when a Christian whom ever believes and accepts the Lord goes to heaven to be with him.. I recently lost someone close to my wife.. Lord told me to look into it deeper and to my surprise I found what this gentlemen talked about in the video. But everything I have found and tried to find contradicting evidence, believe me I really did. But found that what he says is wrong.. Fact is according to scripture.. many many scriptures.. We do die and sleep and one day we will be with the Lord again but upon the 2nd coming with we rise from the dirt.. There is no mention in the bible itself of any soul or spirit ascending to the heavens.. I remembered what the Lord said to the one on the cross talking about.. “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” But it has been proven that sometimes the punctuation in the bible is wrong.. Read the sentence this way now paying attention to the coma around today.. “Truly, I say to you today, you will be with me in Paradise.”.. Look regardless of exactly when we will be with the Lord.. Take comfort in knowing the dead do not suffer either way and whether you believe they go immediatly to be with the lord or slumber to still wake up to be with the lord the dead never know the difference in time.. And if we really wanted to get into the part of going with our ancestors.. Read the book of ENOCH it is very eye opening.. but in fact where are your ancestors.. They are buried and when we die we get buried and we are with our ancestors.. Never does it say our spirts or souls will unite with our ancestors.. Now just the note on why you don't contact the dead makes perfect sense.. The Dead are gone, when you contact the dead you are welcoming demonic evil into your home and world.. Not complicated man..
I see both sides and definitely agree with contacting spirits are the demonic but I also believe the mysteries of God is what we mistakenly disagree on His ways are higher than ours, time, death, life. I'm ok not having an answer to everything that is higher than I. He is in control. He is faithful.
You need to rightly divide the word of GOD.Get a strong's concordance and read Ecclesiastes and Ezekiel.There is more about the millennium in Ezekiel than in any other book.
@@usmc6911: Really! The subject matter is "mystery" *not* millennium. And for your sake, I am familiar with the Strong's Concordance. Also, it's best to elaborate on what message you are trying to bring across, else there is no value in the communication. *Message Edited:* You come in at the wrong end friend.

Exactly, Saul brought back Samuel, And why would Yeshua bring Lazarus back from heaven, that would be a bummer to come back from heaven and die again. 😄
This is crazy… it’s a lot to think about. A best friend of mine died on Good Friday. It’s just so crazy to think that she was literally in Paradise with Christ on that day. Which would make her insanely happy. Her body suffered A LOT while she was here. Amazing. Absolutely amazing…
She’s not in heaven right now she ceases to exist in the grave until Jesus returns. Rerember the dead in Christ will rise first. It wouldnt make sense if she’s in heaven with Jesus and we know that Jesus is comming to raise the dead from their graves. And I’f she’s in heaven that would mean she would make 2 trips to heaven. Heaven then back to earth to recieve her body then return back to heaven again ? Does that makes sense to you ?
@@kirbytheservant that doesn’t take place until all the wicked that has ever lived are raised from their graves to be judged and destroyed by fire from god out of heaven along with Satan and his angels. They will be ashes under the soles of our feet I’ll give u scripture.

Jesus IS the truth. So, did He lie to the thief about being in paradise w/Him THAT day? the Transfiguration: Elijah had been taken to heaven w/out seeing death (…via that fiery chariot…) & Moses actually died on that mountain overlooking the promised land that He was not permitted to go, but Jesus raised him from that death(…see Jude…), the first death.(…please reference what that means…) They were both there, in their glorified bodies…one having died & was raised,(…those that SLEEP in Christ1 Thessalonians 4:16…) & the other having never died(…”…in a twinkling of an eye…mortal puts on immortality…caught up to be with the Lord…” 1 Corinthians 15:52-54 / 1 Thessalonians 4:17…) “…the Lake of 🔥 is empty right now…” SO, WHERE IS THIS LAKE OF FIRE, RIGHT NOW?” “And they went up on ~the breadth of THE EARTH~ and encompassed the camp of the saints about and the beloved city and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them…the devil that deceived them…the beast…the false prophet…death …hell & whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.

@@TruthandnothingbutTHEtruth. I grew up with the teaching about Soul Sleep because of a JW relative, but it never really sat right with me. Now, Allen has taught from the scriptures about that doctrine & spoken the TRUTH about what happens after death. Instead of snarking at me because I learned something, try celebrating that God's truth has been revealed to folks who've been searching for it.

@@From_darkness2Life I was getting the feeling that Allen kept saying the next one was going to be better because he knew that what was just presented was wishy-washy at best. I would love for hime to do a live bible study with a channel like school for prophets.
Thank you for explaining this in such great detail. Two nights ago I was made aware that some believed you’re ‘resting’ until Jesus returns. I had never known that was on the table as I always thought we joined Jesus in heaven upon passing. I cried and have been sick thinking about this for days. Not just because it worries me for my own self and where I’ll be but that of those I’ve loved and lost thinking they’d been in heaven this whole time. You’ve given me back my peace of mind. Thank you!!
They not in heaven my dear..they are resting in the grave..please read daniel 12:13 , Ecclesiastes 9:5 mostly Ecclesiastes 3:18-20. lastly read 1st Thessalonians 4:13-16...the dead are waiting to be resurrected in the end of time...the righteous at Jesus 's second coming.
Ecc 12:7, "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it". The living soul is a like a math equation. Dust + the spirit = a living soul. When we die the living soul ceases to exist, the dust goes back to dust and The spirit not your soul goes back to God.
I agree with you there and I find this guy's very shallow when it comes to this topic he just took verses to support his so called idea ...but his so called ideas are not biblically based but on his euphemism ...I would like to ask Allen to please delete the video and do justice etc etc theme at hand and not browse it...and when he has surely done his research come back to people this is sinful when you teach the wrong thing about the Bible and you are bold without facts ... let's start at creation when a man was created.. Genesis 2:7, "Then the Lord God formed a man[a] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. n the book of Genesis 3:19 It is written "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." This is just tell us what happens when you die its just a reverse of the process that happened befor enough were created ...you were not there before you created you only became a living soul after God breathed on you and the reverse happens when you die ...you do not live again dust unto dust breath goes back to the one who gave it and it is not a living rather breath that God gave you . From Genesis 18:31, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes..."proving that we are just ashes.. Like animals Dust to dust is mentioned in Ecclesiastes 3:20, "All are from the dust, and to dust all return." In the Bible, this passage emphasizes that humans and animals are no different and that everyone is made up of the earth and will return to the earth.
Ecclesiastes 9:5 reads, “For the living know that they will die, / but the dead know nothing; / they have no further reward, / and even their name is forgotten.” and ancestors that you mention about Abraham doesn't however nullify this fact stated above instead ask your self what does the word mean..Ancestor is dead Ed o. The dictionary mean one from whom a person is descended and who is usually more remote in the line of descent than a grandparent...so for Abraham being with ancestors doesn't mean he is alive with them it means he is bearied and is int he Graves the same way they are In the grave... you reference in the transfiguration is not based on the Bible because if uou know Elijah never died but taken to heaven by chariot of fire he is a living ancestor and if you wondering about Moses reaf Jude 25 ...

@@mazukza You have good Bible knowledge but there is an error concerning Elijah. Elisha is rewarded for his faithfulness by seeing a fiery war chariot and fiery horses and Elijah ascending in a windstorm to the heavens, meaning the atmosphere. Elijah does not die at this time, nor does he go into the invisible spirit realm where God resides, but he is transferred to another prophetic assignment. (Joh 3:13) This is shown by the fact that Elisha does not hold any period of mourning for his master. A number of years after his ascension in the windstorm ELIJAH IS STILL ALIVE AND ACTING AS A PROPHET, this time to the king of Judah. Because of the wicked course taken by King Jehoram of Judah, Elijah writes him a letter expressing Jehovah’s condemnation, which is fulfilled shortly thereafter.-2Ch 21:12-15 Nor did Elijah upon death ascend to the spiritual heavens, since Jesus, while on earth, clearly stated that “no man has ascended into heaven.” (Joh 3:13
This is what is happening when we are reading verses without the context "For we say this to you by the Lord’s [own] word, that we who are still alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede [into His presence] those [believers] who have fallen asleep [in death]. 1 Thessalonians 4:15 AMP
I died before I had a four bypass. I wasn't asleep. I was standing there looking at a large doorway, or tunnel with very bright light coming from it. There were creatures walking to and fro. Those creatures weren't like anything I've ever seen on earth. I was dead for a total of 7 minutes. I woke during the operation. The worst pain ever. That's when I knew I was still here.
