One of the most important doctrines of the New Testament scriptures is the Hope of Resurrection. We will consider biblical answers to many interesting question such as: If we automatically go to heaven or hell at death, what is significance of the resurrection and judgment? What will life be like for people on earth after resurrection is passed?, etc.
The document discusses the holiness of God as presented in the Bible. It provides many scripture quotes to highlight that God is holy in his name, throne, habitation, works, words and desire for humanity. It notes that God revealed himself as holy, almighty, eternal and righteous. The document emphasizes that God's people and everything associated with him, such as his sanctuary, are also expected to be holy as he is holy.
This document discusses the heavens and their hosts from a biblical perspective over multiple pages. It begins by introducing the concept of three heavens - the first, second and third heavens. It then focuses on the first heaven, describing it as having two parts: the atmosphere and the celestial heaven beyond where stars, sun and moon exist. It provides several biblical examples of God's control over celestial bodies and warns against worshipping creation rather than the Creator. The document distinguishes astronomy from the occult practice of astrology, urging readers to renounce involvement with astrology.
War broke out in heaven between Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon (Satan) and his angels. Satan and his angels were defeated and cast out of heaven down to earth. Satan is known by many names that reveal his nature as the deceiver and enemy of God who rules over the kingdoms of this world. Jesus demonstrated power over Satan by resisting his temptations and casting out demons. One day, Satan will be bound and imprisoned for 1,000 years before being released for a short time.
What is the Spirit of prophecy? Is it a person? Is it applicable in our present time?
The many challenges that have been manifested in recent times over the Spirit of Prophecy has caused many to question and some to study to find out what is truth. Truth clearly revealed in the bible is what we seek and as such we look carefully at whether or not the writings of Sister White pass the test using a simple comparison.

A combination of several key prophecies from the bible in a short presentation form showing clearly how three days and three nights are gotten during the time of Christ's crucifixion.
The document summarizes Jesus' three temptations by Satan in the wilderness as recorded in Matthew 4:1-11. It states that Jesus was tempted in the same three ways that mankind is tempted: 1) the lust of the flesh, 2) the lust of the eyes, and 3) the pride of life. It then provides biblical examples of each type of temptation from the Garden of Eden story and other passages. Finally, it exhorts the reader not to give in to temptation but to rely on Jesus' power to overcome.
The document discusses the topic of antichrists based on a passage from 1st John. It examines what an antichrist is according to scripture rather than focusing on who the antichrist is. An antichrist denies that Jesus is the Christ and denies the relationship between God the Father and the Son. The document also discusses how the apostle John was countering the teachings of heretical groups like the Gnostics who claimed secret knowledge and taught doctrines contradicting the true teachings about God and Christ.

The Apocalypse - an overview of the book of Revelation Alan Williamson
The document provides an overview of key elements in the book of Revelation:
- John is told to write down what he sees and send it to 7 churches in Asia Minor
- Jesus appears and instructs John to write what he has seen, what is happening presently, and what will happen in the future
- John is shown visions of future events including seals being opened, trumpets sounding, and bowls of God's wrath being poured out
- These visions reveal events that will come to pass and the eventual establishment of God's kingdom on Earth
The document discusses the metaphor of God as a shepherd and believers as his sheep. It explains that as shepherd, God provides for his sheep through green pastures and still waters, restores their souls by leading them in righteousness, and comforts them through trials with his rod and staff. God guides, protects, and offers eternal life to his sheep.
1) John wept when he saw that no one was found worthy to open the scroll sealed with seven seals. 2) One of the elders told John not to weep and said that Jesus, as both the Lion of Judah and the slain Lamb, had prevailed to open the scroll. 3) When John looked, he saw the Lamb standing in the midst of the throne, appearing as if it had been slain.
This document discusses lessons that can be learned from nature. It notes that nature provides evidence of God's existence and that Jesus used nature like seeds and plants to teach about the kingdom of God. It also says there are spiritual lessons from natural things like the sun, stars, rock, and grass. The document encourages walking straight paths rather than crooked ones, noting we will face resistance, and provides examples of people who took crooked or straight paths. It emphasizes remembering God's word to overcome obstacles.
The document provides an overview of the book of Revelation. It begins by outlining the purpose of Revelation as told to John by Jesus: to write down what he has seen, what is currently happening, and what will happen in the future. The key is then given that Revelation contains visions from God, not in chronological order, with sevens appearing frequently and a pause between the sixth and seventh seals/trumpets. The overview then examines each vision: the things John has seen in chapter 1, the letters to the seven churches as the current state in chapters 2-3, God and Jesus' glory in chapters 4-5, and the things to come after in chapters 6-22 involving seals, trumpets, Satan
The scripture passage from Daniel 8:14 formed the central pillar of the Adventist faith, which predicted that the sanctuary would be cleansed after 2300 days. Verses 3-4 describe a ram with two horns pushing in all directions and becoming great. Verses 5-8 then describe a male goat that overthrew the ram and became very great until its main horn was broken off. Verses 9-12 depict a small horn that became exceedingly great and took away the daily sacrifice by exalting itself, casting down the sanctuary. Verse 13 asks how long the vision concerning the daily sacrifice and transgression of desolation would last, trampling the sanctuary and host underfoot for 2300 days.
The document provides commentary on Jesus' temptation in the wilderness. It summarizes that Jesus resisted temptation by quoting scripture, showing the importance of relying on God's word rather than taking matters into one's own hands. It then discusses various biblical examples of testing and temptation, exemplifying how Jesus overcame through obedience to what is written.
The document discusses the nature of true worship according to Jesus' teachings. It provides three key points:
1. Jesus teaches that true worship is spiritual rather than based on physical locations or traditions, and that the Father seeks those who worship Him in spirit and truth.
2. True worshippers are those who have been born of God and have a relationship with Him through faith in Christ.
3. True worship involves occupying one's heart with God rather than with needs or blessings, ascribing worthiness to God through reverence, praise, thanksgiving and obedience. It is an act of wisdom requiring separation from self and full devotion to God.
This document provides a summary and analysis of Revelation chapters 10-11. It discusses four main topics from the text:
1. The angel with the little book symbolizes that there will be no more warnings before judgment comes.
2. John is told to prophesy again, indicating continued preaching of God's message, even if it produces bitterness.
3. The measuring of the temple represents God knowing and protecting his people, the church.
4. The two witnesses symbolize Moses and Elijah, who will continue preaching God's message despite persecution for 1260 days.
0003 origin of evil what did God do about it? Mathew Varnado
The document discusses the origin and spread of evil in the world from Satan's rebellion against God. It describes Satan's ongoing efforts to thwart God's plan to defeat evil through Jesus Christ. God's ultimate solution was to send his son Jesus to pay the penalty for humanity's sins on the cross, defeating Satan and offering salvation to all who believe in him. The document provides prayers in multiple languages for those who want to accept God's forgiveness and be saved from evil and death through faith in Jesus Christ.
The document describes Jesus' temptation in the desert by Satan. After fasting for 40 days, Satan tempted Jesus three times: to turn stones into bread when hungry, to throw himself off the highest point of the temple, and to bow down to Satan in exchange for all the kingdoms of the world. Each time, Jesus resisted temptation by quoting scripture. He told Satan that people should worship only God and not put God to the test.
This document contains passages from Revelation describing a scene in heaven where a great multitude praises God for judging and avenging the corruption of the earth. It discusses God's judgment of Babylon the great, salvation coming to God through Christ, and the righteous being clothed in fine linen while the wicked receive eternal punishment in smoke and fire. The marriage of Christ and his bride the church is proclaimed, and all are called to praise God.

God sends three angels to deliver messages to humanity as Revelation describes. The first angel preaches the everlasting gospel and commands worship of God. The second announces Babylon's fall. The third warns of God's judgment for worshipping the beast and receiving its mark. These messages must be proclaimed loudly, quickly and universally by God's people working with the angels so the world may receive warning before Christ's return and the work can be finished.
This document discusses the biblical concept of death, the afterlife, and resurrection based on numerous passages from the Bible. The key points are:
1) Many Bible passages discuss what happens to humans after death, with some indicating the dead know nothing and others that believers will be resurrected.
2) Jesus performed miracles like raising Lazarus from the dead to demonstrate his power over death. He promised believers would have eternal life.
3) At the end times, Christians believe the dead will be resurrected - those who did good works to eternal life and those who sinned to judgment. There will be no more death or suffering once God creates a new heaven and earth.
4
The document discusses the three phases of judgment according to scripture: 1) The pre-advent or investigative phase begins with the proclamation of the first angel's message. 2) The millennial phase involves the saints judging the wicked dead for 1,000 years. 3) The post-millennial phase is the final judgment where all the dead, small and great, stand before God and are judged according to their works recorded in the books, with those not found in the Book of Life cast into the lake of fire.

This Bible study delves into the afterlife and eternal future. Do you know what will happen when you die? The truth about heaven and hell? A detailed study of Scripture will reveal the truth.
This document discusses the necessity of salvation through Jesus Christ. It begins by explaining that we must understand God's holiness and our own sinfulness and unrighteousness. It then explains who Jesus is as the Word made flesh, who lived a sinless life and died for our sins. We are called to repent of our sins, deny ourselves, and follow Christ by taking up our cross. Counting the full cost of discipleship is required. Finally, it emphasizes that salvation through Jesus is worth any cost, as it is the only way to be reconciled to God and spared from His wrath.
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.
God created the world and humanity to be good, but they were corrupted by sin. However, through Christ's redemption and resurrection, God will one day restore creation to its original state of goodness and bring believers into a new creation where they will dwell with Him forever in resurrected, physical bodies, enjoying fellowship with God and each other on the new earth.
Jesus Christ is the only way for humanity to be saved from their spiritually dead state resulting from the sin of Adam and Eve. Without accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, people feel empty inside despite worldly successes. The Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, but Jesus died for our sins so we can be forgiven and born again by accepting him. True salvation comes only through believing in Jesus, as he is the sole mediator between God and man.
The document discusses 8 raptures that are mentioned in the Bible. It provides biblical references for the raptures of Enoch, Moses, Elijah, Jesus, the church, two witnesses, tribulation saints, and the final rapture when all people will be given to God. It then examines what is known and unknown about the rapture of the church from passages in 1 Thessalonians and 1 Corinthians. It proposes that the dead will rise first to reunite with glorified bodies, then the living will be instantly changed at the last trumpet blast during the rapture event.
The document discusses the essential doctrines of biblical discernment including recognizing the Bible as God's inspired and inerrant word with authority, the greatness of God and his son Jesus Christ who lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose again, as well as the role of the Holy Spirit. It also covers the essentials of the gospel including a right view of sin, oneself, and salvation by grace through faith alone. The document provides guidance for handling non-essential doctrines with humility, searching scripture, consulting others, and prioritizing the gospel.
This document provides an overview of the three angels' messages from Revelation 14. It begins by discussing the first angel's message to fear God and give glory to Him, as the hour of His judgment has come. It then examines the meaning of Babylon from Revelation 14:8 and traces its origins back to the city of Babylon in Genesis. The document suggests Babylon represents false worship and religions that conflict with God's law. It concludes by promoting keeping God's commandments in preparation for His judgment.
The document outlines the fundamental beliefs of a church. It summarizes beliefs about the Bible being the inspired word of God. It also discusses beliefs about God, Jesus Christ including his virgin birth, deity, sinless life, death, resurrection and return. It discusses beliefs about the Holy Spirit, man being created by God but now fallen, salvation only coming through faith in Christ, security of believers, heaven and hell, the church, separation from false doctrines, and rejection of movements like tongues, neo-orthodoxy, neo-evangelicalism, and ecumenism.
1) The document discusses understanding God as our creator, loving father, and righteous judge. It talks about God creating the world, calling believers his children, and judging all people's deeds.
2) It emphasizes running the spiritual race and preparing for judgment by putting faith in Jesus. When Christ returns, he will resurrect believers to eternal life and unbelievers to damnation.
3) The righteous judge, Jesus, will evaluate each person's deeds and reward believers who love his return with the gift of eternal life.
The document discusses the Holy Trinity - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one God. It provides several examples from scripture of how each person of the Trinity is involved in creation, God's revelation to mankind, and salvation. Specifically, it notes their involvement in creation, the incarnation of Jesus, and their different but equal divine attributes like omnipresence and holiness.
The document shares several passages from the Bible describing Jesus' resurrection and its significance. It discusses how Mary Magdalene and other women discovered Jesus' empty tomb, guarded by an angel. It also shares Jesus' appearances to his disciples after his resurrection and his promise to be with them. The document emphasizes that if Christ had not been raised, faith and forgiveness of sins would be meaningless. It celebrates Jesus' victory over death.
The document explores what makes humans unique from animals and discusses the origins and ultimate fate of humanity. It notes that humans were created in God's image but are mortal beings made of dust. While the body dies, the spirit returns to God. It emphasizes that humans will face judgment after death based on whether they obey and fear God by keeping his commandments or instead love worldly things. Salvation is available through faith in Jesus Christ.
Psalm 148 praises God, who created all things and established them forever. It calls on everything and everyone in creation to praise God, whose glory towers over the earth and heavens. The passage emphasizes that everything was created by God's command and will never be revoked. It concludes by saying God has made his people strong.

The Bright woman of Rev 12 vs mystery Babylon of Rev 17&18Linus Daniel
The document compares and contrasts the woman of Revelation 12 and the harlot of Revelation 17-18. It notes several key differences:
- The woman is seen in heaven wearing the sun, while the harlot sits on waters and wears purple/scarlet.
- Their relationships to the beasts also differ - the woman is threatened by the dragon's tail while the harlot rides the scarlet beast.
- Ultimately the harlot represents all people who engage in spiritual prostitution through idolatry and turning away from God, while the woman represents God's faithful people.
- The document encourages the reader to adorn themselves as the bride of Christ rather than engaging in the sins symbolized by the har

"For God's temple is holy, and Y O U are that temple" - 1Co 3:17
The Ephesians - Their Journey to ChristianityLinus Daniel
Paul was instrumental in converting the citizens of Ephesus to Christianity. Other important people such as Apollos, Priscilla and Aquila also played a significant role.
Ephesus (in Modern day Turkey) was a centre of travel, commerce and pilgrimage (Temple of Artemis - one of the seven wonders of ancient world) . It was second in importance and size only to Rome.
The slides take you through Paul's journey and stay at Ephesus in a setting of my travel images from a visit to the excavations of ancient Ephesus.
The Influence of Christianity in Ephesus had a significant impact on 'Asia' in those days.
The slides conclude with Jesus' impressions (judgments) of the believers in Ephesus after the time of Paul's preaching.
Behold a Law of love that Moses the prophet of the Almighty taught. These slides Explore the law of Love from the Torah and the prophets - Love towards enemies, strangers and poor.
In all of the bible two commands stand out.
1 Love God
2 Love your neighbour.
Once these concepts are understood, it is then easy for one to see how Jesus derived his teaching from the law and the prophets and interpreted it in the context of the Roman oppression of his times. Moses gave these laws in the context of being redeemed out of Egypt during the wilderness journey as they were being prepared to enter the promised land.
"What is written in the LAW? HOW READEST THOU? "- Jesus
"Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." - Paul
This document discusses the importance of not remaining silent when witnessing injustice or sin, and the responsibilities of church leaders to address issues rather than ignore them. It provides several biblical examples of individuals like Jesus, John the Baptist, Phinehas, Ezra, and Jeremiah who spoke out against wrongdoing despite facing opposition or risk to their lives. The document also discusses how fear, pressure, and selfishness can lead people to remain silent instead of acting or speaking when they should. Overall, it argues that silence in the face of injustice makes one complicit and perverts justice, while speaking the truth in love and humility is the righteous path.
The Essence of Deuteronomy - A God that Seeks a Loving RelationshipLinus Daniel
Understanding God – A reflection on verses from Deuteronomy. Examining how Moses taught the people that the essence of the law is to have a Loving relationship with God.
The CULTURE of Humility & Hospitality of Jews & ChristiansLinus Daniel
The document discusses the culture of humility and hospitality shown by Abraham, Sarah, Rebecca, Abigail, Elisha, early Christians, and Jesus. It provides several biblical examples of guests being welcomed, having their feet washed, and being served food. The reflections encourage showing similar hospitality today, even when inconvenient, as this was part of Jewish and Christian culture. It emphasizes leadership as service rather than domination and encourages humility like Jesus showed by washing the disciples' feet.
KINGS, HIGH PLACES, WAR & THE END IN THE CONTEXT OF KING ASALinus Daniel
Exploring the life of King Asa & Worship @ High Places
Lessons from his Life: Courage, Encourage, Stress, Leadership, Blameless, Reforms, Endurance.
"But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days." (1 Kings 15:11-14 )
Wisdom is the path of righteousness, justice, mercy, truth and equity. Wise living gives access to peace, success, prosperity, security, long life and eventually eternal life. Wisdom also give one 'sweet sleeps'!
The slides are an introduction to gaining Wisdom from the first three chapters of Proverbs.
'Long life is in her right hand, and in her left are wealth and honour.'
We explore the Life and message of John the Baptist, from birth to death and how his holy, wilderness upbringing and righteousness qualified him to be the 'voice' that would prepare the way for the Christ. We will also gain insight into John's message for us as we await the return of Jesus the Lord.
We will conclude by considering the question: 'Was John the Baptist, Elijah brought back?'
'Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist.' - Jesus
"Bear fruit in keeping with repentance" - John the Baptist
"The world wasn't worthy of them. They wandered in deserts, mountains, caves, and holes in the ground." - Hebrews 11:37-38

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

WHO ARE YOU? Can your SOUL DIE? What is MANKINDS' Hope after DEATH?
1. 1
WHO ARE YOU? Can your
SOUL DIE? What is
MANKINDS' Hope after
DEATH?
One of the most important doctrines of the New Testament
scriptures is the Hope of Resurrection. We will consider
biblical answers to many interesting question such as: If we
automatically go to heaven or hell at death, what is
significance of the resurrection and judgment? What will life
be like for people on earth after resurrection is passed?,
etc.
2. 2
When will people come out of
their “tombs” and in what form?
“Do not marvel at this, for an
hour is coming in which all
those in the tombs will hear
His voice. And they will come
out, the ones having done
good into a resurrection of
life; and the ones having
practiced evil into a
resurrection of judgment.” –
[John 5:28-29]

What is Life?
Understanding Life and Death
through the first man
God created Adam
Adam’s soul did not exist before
the creation
And Jehovah God formed the
man out of dust from the
ground, and blew into his
nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul.

What is Death?
God told Adam after he
disobeyed his word in Eden
By the sweat of your face you shall
eat bread until your return to the
ground. For you have been taken out
of it; for you are dust, and to
dust you shall return. [Gen 3:19]
Put not your trust in nobles, in a son
of man, for there is no salvation in
him. His breath will go out, he
returns to the earth; his thoughts
perish in that day. [Psa 146:3-4]

What is Death?
Our thoughts perish with death
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of
man, in whom there is no help. His breath
goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that
very day his thoughts perish. [Psa 146:3-4]
All our Knowledge, Hope and feelings
perish at death
For to him that is joined to all the living there
is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead
lion. 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. Also 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. [Ecc 9:4-6]
6. 6
What is Death?
Death does not differentiate between rich and
poor, wise and foolish, righteous and wicked
The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool
walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also
that one event happeneth to them all. [Ecc 2:14]
All things come alike to all: there is one event to the
righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the
clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth,
and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is
the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth
an oath. [Ecc 9:2]
7. 7
What is Death?
Same destiny for animal and man
– there is no difference
I said in mine heart concerning the
estate of the sons of men, that God
might manifest them, and that they
might see that they themselves are
beasts. For that which befalleth the
sons of men befalleth beasts; even
one thing befalleth them: as the one
dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they
have all one breath; so that a
man hath no preeminence above a
beast: for all is vanity. [Ecc 3:18-19]
8. 8
What is Death?
Death is a state of eternal Sleep
No alarm you set will wake you up,
neither will you dream nor will you
snore
And why dost thou not pardon my
transgression, and take away mine iniquity?
for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou
shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not
be. [Job 7:21]
Consider and hear me, O LORD my God:
lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of
death; [Psa 13:3]
So David slept with his fathers, and was
buried in the city of David. [1Ki 2:10]
9. 9
Soul is NOT
the Breath of Life
The Breath of life belongs to God.
It’s the “power” that keeps us alive
then the dust shall return to the earth
as it was, and the spirit shall return to
God who gave it. [Ecc 12:7]
And behold, I, even I, am bringing a
flood of waters on the earth in order to
destroy all flesh in which is the
breath of life from under the
heavens. Everything which is on the
earth shall die. [Gen 6:17]

of all flesh, appoint a man over the

What is the Soul?
Soul means
Life
Breathing Creatures
Human emotions of life
Examples – Animals are
souls
And God created the great sea
animals, and all that creeps,
having a living soul, which
swarmed the waters,
according to its kind; and
every bird with wing according
to its kind. And God saw that
it was good. [Gen 1:21]
11. 11
Examples of Soul in the Bible
People are souls
These were the sons of
Zilpah, whom Laban gave
to his daughter Leah; and
she bore these to Jacob,
sixteen souls. [Gen
46:18]
Soul is Life
Please say that you are
my sister, so that it may
be well with me for your
sake, and my soul
shall live because of
you. [Gen 12:13]
12. 12
Examples of Soul in the Bible
Soul is Human feelings
And he also made
delicious things and
came to his father. And
he said to his father, Let
my father rise and eat
from the game of his son,
so that your soul may
bless me. [Gen 27:31]
And his soul clung to
Dinah, the daughter of
Jacob. And he loved the
girl, and spoke to the
heart of the girl. [Gen
34:3]
13. 13
What happens to the soul
after we die?
The soul DIES
We are Dust and go to Dust –
just like plants/animals
For that which happens to the
sons of men, and that which
happens to beasts, even one
event is to them. As this one
dies, so that one dies; yea, one
breath is to all; so that there
is to the man no advantage over
the beast; for all is vanity. All go
to one place; all are of the
dust, and all return to the
dust. [Ecc 3:19-20]
14. 14
All Souls Die
Behold, they are all My souls.
As the soul of the father, also
the soul of the son, they are
Mine. The soul that sins, it
shall die. [Eze 18:4]
The concept that the body is
the house of soul that
continues to live is not taught
in the bible
Soul = body with life
Dead Body = Dead Soul
15. 15
Soul is mortal like the body
And Samson said, Let my
soul die with the Philistines!
And he bowed mightily, and
the house fell on the rulers,
and on all the people who
were in it. And the dead that
he killed in his death were
more than those he killed in
his life. [Jdg 16:30]
And a man, when he strikes
the soul from any man,
dying he shall die. [Lev 24:17]
Let my soul die
16. 16
Why do we Die?
Adam sinned
Sentence of Death was
passed on mankind
We have all sinned
Because of this, even as sin
entered the world through
one man, and death through
sin, so also death passed to
all men, inasmuch as all
sinned. [Rom 5:12]
God said: You will die
Serpent said: You will not die
18. 18
Resurrection is the only
escape from Death
And at that time, Michael shall stand
up, the great ruler who stands for the
sons of your people. And there shall be a
time of distress, such as has not been
from the being of a nation until that
time. And at that time, your people shall
be delivered, everyone that shall be
found written in the Book. And many
of those sleeping in the earth's
dust shall awake, some to
everlasting life, and some to
reproaches and to everlasting
abhorrence. And those who act wisely
shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament, and those turning many to
righteousness as the stars forever and
ever. [Dan 12:1-3]
Note How Daniel refers to death
as a state of “sleep”
19. 19
The only man to be resurrected
permanently from death till date is Jesus
But now Christ has been
raised from the dead;
He became the
firstfruit of those
having fallen asleep.
For since death is
through man, also
through a Man is a
resurrection of the
dead; for as in Adam all
die, so also in Christ all
will be made alive. [1Co
15:20-22]
Note How Paul refers to death
as a state of “sleep”
20. 20
The only man to have gone to heaven is
Jesus Christ!
Men, brothers, it is permitted to say to you with
plainness as to the patriarch David, that he both
died and was buried, and his tomb is among us
until this day. Being a prophet, then, and knowing
that God swore with an oath to him that of the fruit of
his loin, as concerning flesh, to raise the Christ to sit
on his throne, foreseeing, he spoke about the
resurrection of the Christ, "that His soul was not left
in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption."
This Jesus, God raised up, of which we all are
witnesses. Then being exalted to the right of God, and
receiving the promise of the Holy Spirit from the
Father, He poured out this which you now see and
hear.
For David did not ascend into Heaven, but he
says, "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
until I place those hostile to You as a footstool for
Your feet." [Act 2:29-35]
King David is still in his grave
21. 21
What happens at the
Resurrection?
Do not marvel at this, for an
hour is coming in which all those
in the tombs will hear His voice.
And they will come out, the ones
having done good into
a resurrection of life;
and the ones having practiced
evil into
a resurrection of judgment.
[Joh 5:28-29]
22. 22
How can you be part of the
Resurrection of Life?
He "will give to each
according to his works:"
everlasting life truly to those
who with patience in good
work seeking glory and honor
and incorruptibility; but to
the ones truly disobeying the
truth out of self-interest, and
obeying unrighteousness, will
be anger and wrath, [Rom
2:6-8]
23. 23
What is life after
Resurrection?
For in the resurrection
they neither marry nor
are given in marriage,
but they are as the
angels of God in
Heaven. [Mat 22:30]
"Then the king will say to
those on his right, 'Come,
you who have been blessed
by my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for
you from the foundation
of the world. [Mat 25:31-
34]
24. 24
When will the Resurrection
occur? - At the return of Christ
But I do not want you to be ignorant,
brothers, concerning those who sleep, that
you not grieve, as the rest also, not having
hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so God will also
bring with Him all those who have
fallen asleep through Jesus.
Because the Lord Himself shall come down
from Heaven with a commanding shout of
an archangel's voice, and with God's
trumpet.
And the dead in Christ will rise again first.
Then we who remain alive will be caught up
together with them in the clouds to a
meeting with the Lord in the air. And so we
will always be with the Lord. [1Th 4:13-17]
Death a state of sleep for the faithful,
eternal sleep for the ignorant
25. 25
What happens to the body
and soul after Resurrection?
Not all flesh is the same.
Humans have one kind
of flesh, animals in
general have another,
birds have another, and
fish have still another.
[1Co 15:39]
This is how it will be at
the resurrection of the
dead. What is planted is
decaying, what is raised
cannot decay. [1Co
15:42]
We will be like Jesus
26. 26
Summary
We do not go to heaven (or hell) when we die
We go to the dust
Our body, soul, thoughts, feelings all perish
Jesus is the only man to have escaped death because God
raised him from the dead. Jesus was sinless therefore did
not deserve to die like Adam.
But God raised him up and destroyed the pains of death, since it was
impossible for him to be held in its power. [Act 2:24]
Our only escape from death is the hope of Resurrection in
Jesus:
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead
also came through a man. [1Co 15:21]
At Jesus’ return we can be raised to eternal life if we are
found in Christ or died believing in Christ
