Death and Destination
The statistics of death are staggering:
1 out of 1 people die
It is
inescapable
Slide22Co 5:1-4 For we know that if our earthly house of this
tabernacle/hut
were dissolved/demolished,
we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2) For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: (3) If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. (4) For we that are in this
tabernacle/hut do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
Slide3What Is
Death?

–
The irreversible cessation of all of the following: (1) total cerebral function, usually assessed by EEG as flat-line (2) spontaneous function of the respiratory system, and (3) spontaneous function of the circulatory system...
False Religious view

Death is an illusion - Christian Science – New Thought
Slide4What Is Death
According to the Bible?
In the bible there are three kinds of death:
Spiritual death
– When sin entered the human race (Gen. 2:17; Rom. 5:12-19
Physical death
– cessation of breath and the soul is separated from the body – (Job. 27:3; Eccl. 12:7)
The second death
– Sinners cast into the “Lake of Fire” Rev. 20:14
Slide5The Only Exception To Escape Physical Death In This Earth
THE RAPTURE
1Th 4:16-18
(17) Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Slide6What Happens To Me When I Die
Non-Biblical Views
Cease to exist as a conscious entity and biologically degrade back to the earth
Spiritually absorbed into the universal all
Re-incarnate
Experience metaphysical continuance of consciousness regardless of beliefs
Slide7False biblical views:
Soul sleep – Adventist groups
Soul annihilation – Jehovah witnesses
Everyone goes to heaven – Universalism
Purgatory
Slide8Bible view
If one is a true Christian then that one immediately goes to heaven. II Cor. 5:6-8
If one isn’t a Christian then that one will die in their sins and go to hell
Slide9The Four Hells of the
KJV
1. Hell - Heb.
Sheol
– ps. 139:8 - Place of all the dead in the earth righteous and unrighteous until the NT.3. Hell – Gehenna
/Lake of fire - Mk. 9:43-47
4. Hell – Gr.
Tartaroo
- A place where some of the some fallen angels are chained - II Peter 2:4
2. Hell – Gr.
Hadace
-
Lk
. 16:23- Acts 2:27 – Greek equivalent to “
sheol
”.
Slide10The Bottomless pit – Abyss – Gr.
Abusos
“And they begged Him repeatedly not to order them into the abyss. (KJV – deep – Gr. abussos
)
Where banished demons are sent
–
Luke 8: 26-36
The beast ascends from it
– Rev. 11:7
Satan will be chained there
- Rev. 20:1
There is no description of the abyss in the bible
Slide11The Bible Cure For Death
For Spiritual death
Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
For the second death
Rev
2:11 He that
has
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
says
unto the churches; He that
overcomes
shall not be hurt of the second death
.
1Jn
5:5 Who is he that
overcomes
the world, but he that
believes
that Jesus is the Son of God?
Slide12For physical death – Resurrection
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy
is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power,
The first resurrection is a “kind” of resurrection more so than a “time” of resurrection
There is a resurrection of the “righteous and the unrighteous” (Acts 24:15) They are separated by 1,000 years ( Rev. 20:6,7)
Within the first resurrection is the rapture of the dead in Christ ( I
T
hess. 4:16,17), later the resurrection of the millennial dead (Rev. 20:4), and then the resurrection of the righteous OT saints (Is. 26:19,20;
D
an. 12:2-3; 11-13)
Slide13What should A Christian’s
attitude of death be?
To see death not as an end
To see it as an enemy that will be destroyed
An attitude of hope instead of paralyzing fear
Death is merely a propulsion mechanism that jettisons us to
our final
destination
