The document discusses what happens after death based on passages from the Bible. It addresses questions like what death is like, where the dead go, whether the dead are aware of events on Earth, the nature of the soul and spirit, the resurrection of the dead, and the timing of the resurrection. The key points are that death is described as a sleep, the dead await resurrection, the soul/spirit returns to God at death, and there will be a future resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous.

Sadness and sorrow are inexorably woven in the fabric of life. We cannot escape loss. So, how can grief be good? How can we look as "loss" as possible "gain"?
Mainstream christian theology seems to support ideas about death and resurrection that are remarkably similar to those of ancient Greek and other middle eastern pagan philosophies. This seems to be at odds with what the protestant cannon represents about the issue.
This slide is a summary overview of what judeo-christian texts highlight about the issue.
RAPTURE
Memory Verse:
In my father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you- John 14:2

Introduction
The second coming of Christ prophesied by Daniel in Daniel 7:13 is a sound biblical fact.
This return shall be in two stages. The first, "being like a thief in the night" to receive unto Himself His Church. This is popularly called the rapture. May the Holy Spirit Himself guide us into all truth, in Jesus' name
Conclusion
Everyone should do everything possible to be rapturable. These among others include: watchfulness, fellowshipping with brethren and the Holy Spirit and keeping the unity of faith. I Thessalonians. 5:6, Heb 10:25; Ephesians 4:3.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

5. What the Bible teaches about death.
An epitaph on a tombstone in Richmond, Virginia, reads: “Stop, my friend, as you go by,
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, you soon shall be.
So prepare yourself to follow me.”
A school boy read the inscription, and added these words:
(fly in) “To follow you I’m not content,
Until I know just where you went.”
There are three basic theological opinions offered today on the state of man in death. Not one of the three is compatible with the other two, and only one is Biblically correct.
One suggests that at the time of death, the soul of the deceased goes either to heaven or hell.
Another claims that the soul is in a state of “limbo” called purgatory.
The third teaches that death is an unconscious state, like sleep, where there is no physical or mental activity until the day of resurrection. Let’s discover what the Bible says.
Our study tonight is: Beyond the Grave – What Happens When You Die?
Read question then use the Bible to fill in the answer in the study guide.
Jesus told His disciples that their friend Lazarus was asleep. The disciples misunderstood, thinking that if he were sleeping he would recover from his illness. Then Jesus clarified His statement: He said, “Lazarus is dead.” Jesus used the inactive condition of sleep to illustrate man’s status in death. In fact, there are more than fifty references in the Bible where death is referred to as sleep.

Notice that when God combined the dust of the ground (man’s physical body), with the breath of life, man became a living soul. Without both body and breath there is no soul.

When the dust (body) and the spirit (breath) are separated, the soul ceases to exist, just as it was not in existence before man came alive.
DUST - SPIRIT = DEAD PERSON

: Some have suggested that the spirit that returns to God at the time of death is the conscious mind of the deceased. The Hebrew word translated “spirit” in Ecclesiastes 12:7, and “breath” in Job 27:3, is “ruwach.” It comes from a root word meaning wind. According to Strong’s Hebrew dictionary it means “breath,” like an exhalation. The KJV translates “ruwach” as “spirit” in Job 27:3.
“All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils.” Our thoughts are not housed in our nostrils: our breath is. The breath represents life. When we die our breath, or life, returns to God. He reserves our life, as it were, until the day of our resurrection.

Jesus said that Satan is the “father of lies.” The first lie he told was to Eve in the garden of Eden. It involved immortality. He said, “You will not surely die.” But he was wrong, wasn't he?
If a man’s soul went to heaven at the time of death, then his soul would be immortal, or never dying. Only God has immortality.

In the preceding verses, Job chapter 14 is dealing with the subject of death. The “hard service” in the NKJV is translated “appointed time” in the KJV. Job recognized that he would be dead for an appointed amount of time, until the resurrection day. (See #’s 11 and 12)

A more accurate translation of verse 15 would be, “even so God will ‘bring forth’ those who sleep in Jesus.” The dead are not in heaven with God.
From their graves they will “rise first” to meet the Lord in the air.
The next two slides are to use with the supplement. If you do not have the supplement skip the next two slides.
The Bible is clear about the state of man after death. Jesus taught that death is like sleeping. It is a time of inactivity, a time without involvement in what is happening in heaven or earth, a time of waiting for the resurrection morning
when Jesus will raise up those who have accepted Him as their Savior. They will be changed from mortal men and women, to glorified immortality. They will share eternal life with Jesus.
Then we will be reunited with those we have been separated from by death.
