What Happens When We Die According to the Bible? • Heaven and Earth Ep. 4 

hi Bible Project, love your vids

I have heard another content creator say that their is a setting to limit the amount of ads within a video.

I am left more confused than ever. You could have eliminated the first half of this video and been more specific in the last. The whole concept is fairly nebulous to me. I thin. Maybe we should just focus on serving God because He is our Father, and stop concerning our selves with worldly concepts like rewards. It seems none of us have it right anyway.

Maybe you should remove the music then? It really doesn't add much

Let us gift you music for your videos. I’ve been a fan for a few years now. Love how much I’ve learned from your videos and podcasts. Bless you both

Apostle Paul: “Absent from the body, present with the Lord.” He knew where he was going.

But…..is that really what the Apostle Paul said?

Heaven is the sky and universe. Its not that foolish to think that when people die they go to the sky or "out there".

@@billykilpatrick1299Definitely not.

This is how I felt for a long time until a mentor of mine challenged me that perhaps my beliefs were tide to my feelings towards myself. Could I begin love myself the way God loved me? I might crave a melting away of my individuality into permanent sleep, or non-existence in God. But Yahweh wishes to preserve what he loves and what he made me to be… and can I accept that too? It’s worth meditating on.

Jesus described death as sleep over 66 times

Because the biblical image of someone dead is like they're asleep. There is no soul sleep in the bible. Only the body is here. Paul said the same.

Jesus describes death as sleep and this makes perfect sense when we examine the scriptures that speak of the resurrection as those who are awoken to hear the voice of the Master and are raised from the dead. 1 Corinthians 15 speaks of being given new bodies which are immortal. This doesn't actually happen until Christ returns at the last trumpet. So while Christ is away, we sleep in death until one day when he returns to establish his kingdom.

I’m glad there are smart people in here! Yes, just like what happened to Lazarus, we are asleep.

@@Ohotnikova_ It's a little bit strange to contrast the "smart people" (untrained RU-vid posters) with Dr. Mackie, who has an academic doctorate in biblical studies.

WoW

Thank you for sharing ❤ God is justice he has won us with Jesus. Our sins are forgiven. May God bless you.

Yes, our sins have been forgiven. In fact, every person's sins, since the resurrection, have been forgiven. However, that forgiveness isn't "credited", if I may use that word, until/unless a person believes it. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one *that believeth;* to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16 (KJV) 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but *believeth* on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 4:4-5 (KJV) 24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, *if we believe* on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Romans 4:24-25 (KJV) *Look carefully at the sequence* 13 In whom ye also trusted, *after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of* *your salvation:* in whom also *after that ye believed,* ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 (KJV) *The gospel that will save you* 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you *the gospel* which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 *By which also ye are saved,* if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that *Christ* *died for our sins* according to the scriptures; 4 *And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day* according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV)

Stay strong. Trust in God. God bless you Eric my Man!

I'm sorry you lost your brother.

@@wizzardofpaws2420 I hope we all get a chance to meet in heaven, he is a great guy ^_^

Which work book are you going through right now?

@Juliaaa P When Heaven Meets Earth: a 12 Part Biblical Study on Heaven :)

Where can you get the work book?

Please reply I love the Lord and know I'm saved. I have some grounded beliefs and hard to change. They are great for those that are saved. Is it worth learning and truth?

Amen 🙏💛

Consider Luke 16, or 2 Cor 12. Also Hades place of the dead Acts 2:27

Hades is the place of the dead. It is a place of stillness and repose. I'll let you look up the scripture references. Luke 16 written to the people of the circumcision, the Jews. Jesus was throwing the Pharisees' beliefs right back in their faces, mocking them. The first shall be last, and the last first, but all will be with God in due time.

Paradise is earth. Heaven is Heaven. He said Paradise which equate to Eden.

@Lavender Trebuchet Absolutely

​@Brian Dowling Heaven will be our new when Jesus Christ returns 🙏🏿. On Earth. We will not go up in sky.

YAHWEH

@@steveaird9347 - In the Twi (Asante) language, we also say Yehuah.

@@Summerbunny15 I know that now don't know that before

Mansion in the old english just means a temporary lodging place. Its come to mean a grand house over time.

@@cccccc1 That makes sense Thank you for your reply :)

John 14

That’s an interesting viewpoint on Samuel that I haven’t heard before. Have you ever heard Michael Heiser’s comments around that passage? I think it relates well and its on RU-vid.

I’ve always heard that it wasn’t a spirit impersonating Samuel. Because Samuel actually scorned Saul. I don’t think a random spirit would give him the brutal truth like that? 🤷‍♂️ Then again I could be wrong.

I smell a seventh day Adventist...

@@vegacool1what’s wrong with the person comment ? They actually right

That's from cults teaching

Great question. Moses and Elijah were in a glorified body when they appeared with Jesus on the mount. If we trace the Bible narrative, we know there are two "ends" for a person before going to heaven: (1) like Elijah and Enoch, to be transported alive to heaven; (2) like Moses, to be resurrected from the dead [Jude said that Moses' body was claimed by Satan, but was rebuked by the word of the Lord; if Moses appeared to Jesus, that meant that Moses was resurrected.] That said, Moses and Elijah appeared in their glorified forms on the mount. As for the spirit "of Samuel," the witch said she saw the spirit coming up "from the earth." That's definitely not Samuel, but an impersonation by the devil.

❤

Amen, I am thankful for our Heavenly Father Yahuah for Sending the Son into the World to bear our transgressions and sins so that we may have communion with our Heavenly Father.

we don't! unless you have that Heavenly calling. this is a biblical fact. those who'll go to heaven have a part to do with Jesus concerning the earth. those who does not have that calling, they will be in their graves awaiting a resurrection. as for the false teaching of Hell" as in a place where demons torture forever the dead. no one will go there, because there is no such place. the word "HELL" was replaced by many for words that meant grave, Sheol and hades, Hebrew and geek words.

Exactly!

But what about the "absent from the body, present with the Lord" part? I just can't believe we are ever "just dead" as our human bodies are just shells for our true souls.

@@tgif1207 Yes exactly the body dies, but the sou does not. So many people seemed to have visited hell in near death experiences and come back to life and then warn others. It seems there is a peaceful, happy resting place too. Is the story of Lazarus literal? It seems the evil master in his place of torment could see Lazarus in his place of peace.

While I sympathise, as I have thought this most of my life, take comfort in the fact that it *doesn’t matter*. I’m serious, consider it. Even if we were only our physical bodies, and we really did die, or sleep, between the Resurrection- we would *still be with the Lord*. If God sees all, knows all and remembers absolutely everything that will ever happen, with perfect clarity, and down to the tiniest detail- and that he will never forget or decay in that memory- Then God will NEVER FOREGT you. Not the idea of you, or how your friends know you, or even how you know or remember yourself. He will know EXACTLY, every thought, memory, desire, every cell that has ever been in your body and everything you have ever done, PRECISELY. To the smallest detail. He would understand you utterly fairly, as exactly what you were, currently are, and will become. He could recreate you with an honesty and complexity that we could never match, and He doesn’t need you peering over His shoulder while you do it to get the ‘real you’, that somehow even He couldn’t see without your help. No, he could perfectly remember and remake you, no matter how much time passes or whatever happens to creation. Even if you are only a physical creature, he could still recreate and keep you alive and well for eternity. I do not know if we have a soul, and we might or might not. But if we DO have a soul, it could be DESTROYED UTTERLY, and God wouldn’t go, ‘oh, shoot! Well, guess we can’t ever get her back, that soul-stuff was a one-off, now that her soul’s gone she can’t have eternal life. Guess everything she was is lost forever.’ God could recall and remember you with more accuracy than any supercomputer we could ever make, and being God himself, the knowledge of who and what you are is stored in the safest place in the universe- the memory of the Lord, Creator of everything, who remembers you perfectly. So, if you’ve listened to my clumsy rambling on, my best advice I could possibly pass on is this: It *wouldn’t even matter*- God’s got you anyway, and He’s never going anywhere!

You actually don't pass from consciousness when you sleep. That's why you dream - most dreams go unremembered so it seems like you have no consciousness.

Do you REALLY think the million of the saved elect are now enjoying Abraham "s bosom? Surely you jest? Wouldn't that make Jesus a bit jealous since the bible tells us THOSE in their graves will awake and MEET CHRIST IN THE AIR! . The saint [first fruits, prophets etc) and then those who are alive are to follow but NOT preceed the fruitsfruits. The holy writ is full of verses telling us that we will sleep after death, and must wait until the return of Christ and the rescurrection/ judgement day.

David a man after God's own heart - Acts 13:22 did not go to heaven at his death.The apostle Peter speaking under God's inspiration states: "Men an d brethren let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried and his tomb is with us to this day"..

@@priscillajervey8345 Agreed; the Biblical case for soul sleep/unconsciousness during the intermediate state is overwhelming.

@@jakethewhale

the SOUL is what man became once he had the breath of life given to him by Jehovah God. the "SOUL" isn't something that leaves the body, as many are taught, once one had died. we are SOULS right now, because we are alive. *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.* Notice what was said concerning Noah and his family, *1Pet. **3:20** who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.* there were NO ghostly *"SOULS"* that enter the Ark, were there? peace

@larysnw418 so true! as Jehovah words showed in the book of Revelation. the sea gave up the dead.

There is no purgatory only the lake of fire and the kingdom of God. Revelation 20:13-15 (KJV) 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Hell is the grave ^ Revelation 22:14-15 (KJV) 14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

....good to see NT Wright got something right. A believer dies and goes to where He is. Then at sometime the rapture of believers happens and both those who are born again who have died and those who are on earth are given new bodies and and meet Jesus in the clouds. For which we will be at the wedding feast of the lamb. Meanwhile on earth, at some point The Tribulation/Great Tribulation/The Time of Jacobs Trouble happens for 7 years, including the revealing of The Anti-Christ. To end The Tribulation, Christ comes back with those who were raptured, He saves the remaining people of Israel, judges the nation's and cast Satan into a pit for 1,000 years. Christ will rule on earth for 1,000 years at the end of which Satan is release for one more war and defeated. Satan is then cast into the lake of fire as well as those who are not saved. The Lord creates and New Heaven and New Earth and a New Jerusalem descends from heaven to earth and we will all be there.

Does that mean they are unconscious after death?? The scripture talks about the rich man and Lazarus who immediately was in flames after death who seemed to have knowledge of where he was and had consciousness.

@larysnw418 From your references, it seems you are trying to say that only 144,000 will be with Christ.

Life begins at conception Death of earthly life is present with God
