What Happens When You Die?

Does Your Soul Go to Heaven?

Do Unbelievers Go to Hell?

Live Forever?And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever" (Genesis 3:22 NIV).

*Most Christians believe that they have immortality – that when their body dies their soul still lives and goes to heaven*Most religions teach an afterlife in which the “essence” or soul of a person lives after the death of the body*Most people in the world believe in some sort of afterlife – that death is only a transition to another life state (ie Elysian fields)

*What really happens when a person dies?*Sleep as a Metaphor for Death*Do Believers Have Eternal Life in Them Now?*What is the purpose of the resurrection?*Does the Creator send unbelievers to Hell?*What about Being Home with the Lord?*Rich man and Lazarus?*The thief on the cross?

The Creation of Man – What is a Soul?Yahuwah Elohim formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7)Nephesh chayah – soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, appetite, emotion, and passion. It is that which breathes, the breathing substance or being. The body is a soul when it is breathing and living. Or, a soul is a living, breathing body!

Nephesh ChayahAnd Elohim said, "Let the water teem with living creatures (Hebrew, nephesh chayah), and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." (Genesis 1:20)And Elohim said, "Let the land produce living creatures (Hebrew, nephesh chayah) according to their kinds: (Genesis 1:24)Now Yahuwah Elohim had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature (Hebrew, nephesh chayah), that was its name. (Genesis 2:19)

Nephesh ChayahSo you see, the “soul” only exists where there is breath in a living body. When Elohim created Adam, he formed his body out of the dust of the earth. But Adam didn't become a living soul until Elohim breathed into his nostrils. Thus a nephesh (a soul) is a living, breathing body.

SoulBe careful that your understanding of “soul” is biblical and not Greek thinkingThe soul cannot be separated from a bodyHeb 4:12 the word of Elohim can separate soul and spirit

Surely DieAnd Yahuwah Elohim commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.“ (Genesis 2:16-17)

Grammar alert!!! Mot yamut –– qal infinitive absolute + qal imperfect 2nd masc singular The infinitive absolute expresses emphasis when it immediately precedes the finite verb.You WILL DIE!Death = No Life

The Lie in the GardenDid Elohim really say, 'You must not eat from

any tree in the garden'?" (Genesis 3:1)"You will not surely die...for Elohim knows

that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like Elohim" (Genesis 3:4-5).

The Father of LiesHe was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is not truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar, and the father of lies (4th Gospel 8:44)

Do we believe what the Eternal One said or will we believe what the Liar said?The entire debate over what happens when a person dies comes down to this simple question.

The Promise from Elohim – Dust to DustBy 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. (Genesis 3:19)

Death means a returning to DustWhen you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. (Psalm 104:29)You turn men back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, O sons of men." (Psalm 90:3)What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? (Psalm 30:9)

The Soul, not just the Body, DiesFor every living soul (Hebrew, nephesh) is mine, the life (Hebrew, nephesh) of the father as well as the life (Hebrew, nephesh) of the son-- both alike belong to me. The soul (Hebrew, nephesh) who sins is the one who will die. (18:4)Here, the soul - the living essence of a man - and not just the body, will die on account of his sin. This refrain is repeated again, later:The soul (Hebrew, nephesh) who sins is the one who will die. (vs. 20)

Can the Dead Do Anything?For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing (Ecclesiastes 9:5).In the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom (Ecclesiastes 9:10).Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished (Ecclesiastes 9:6)

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish (Psalms 146:4, KJV).For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness. The living, the living - they praise you (Psalms 28:18,19).No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave? (Psalms 6:5).

New Testament “Soul”• That word is yuch, (pronounced psukay). The BDAG

Lexicon breaks down this word:• 1.life on earth in its animating aspect making bodily

function possible • a. (breath of) life, life-principle, soul, of animals • b. the condition of being alive, earthly life, life itself • 2.seat and center of the inner human life in its many and

varied aspects, soul • 3.an entity w. personhood, person• Corresponds perfectly with nephesh

Do Believers Have Immortality?Elohim, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Master of masters, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. (1 Timothy 6:15-16)

When Will Believers Have Immortality?For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." (1 Corinthians 15:53-54)

Death Compared to Sleep – An Appropriate Metaphor...if I have done evil to him who is at peace with me or without cause have robbed my foe-- then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust. (Psalm 7:4-5)Look on me and answer, Yahuwah my Elohim. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death; (Psalm 13:3)

You sweep men away in the sleep of death; (Psalm 90:5)Valiant men lie plundered, they sleep their last sleep; not one of the warriors can lift his hands. (Psalm 76:5)I will make her officials and wise men drunk, her governors, officers and warriors as well; they will sleep forever and not awake," declares the King, whose name is Yahuwah Almighty. (Jeremiah 51:57)

The Sleeping AwakeMultitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:2-3)

Lazarus SleptAfter he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend El'azar has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up." His disciples replied, "Master, if he sleeps, he will get better." Yahusha had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. So then he told them plainly, "El'azar is dead..." (4th Gospel 11:11-14)

• When Stephen was stoned and dying, the Bible says he fell asleep:

Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Master, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep. (Acts 7:60)• And David fell asleep in death:For when David had served Elohim's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed. (Acts 13:36)

Paul uses Sleep as a metaphor for deathBrothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about

those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Yahusha died and rose again and so we believe that Elohim will bring with Yahusha those who have fallen asleep in him. According to Yahuwah's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Master, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-15)

Does Yeshua Teach That Believers Never Die?For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (KJV).“Believe” = “Keep the commandments”

Now a man came up to Yeshua and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?“ "Why do you ask me about what is good?" Yeshua replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments.“ "Which ones?" the man inquired. Yeshua replied, "'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'“ (Matthew 19:16-19)

Does Yeshua Teach That Believers Never Die?Question: “But we have left all….”But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life (Mark 10:30, KJV, see also Luke 18:30).

Does Yeshua Teach That Believers Never Die?Yahusha said to her, "Your brother will rise again.“ Martha answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.“ Yahusha said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?“ (4th Gospel 11:23-26)

Eternal Life Abiding in YouI tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of Elohim and those who hear will live (4th Gospel 5:24-25)

When Will the Dead Be Awakened?…at that time your people - everyone whose name is found written in the book - will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life... (Daniel 12:1-2).

Paul Also Tells Us WhenListen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-- in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed…. (51-52)When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory" (1 Corinthians 15:54).

Hard to Understand Passages

At Home With the Lord2 Corinthians 5:1-10

Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from Elohim, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.

For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now it is Elohim who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Master. We live by faith, not by sight.

We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Master. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:1-10)

Keys to Understanding 2 Cor 5:1-10Two Resurrection Metaphors:Paul’s use of “being clothed”The Mortal being “swallowed up”Clues about “when”:“the judgment to come” and “the

judgment seat of Messiah”

To Depart and Be with MessiahPhilippians 1:20-26

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Messiah will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Messiah and to die is gain.

Key to Understanding Philippians 3The metaphor using “ashamed”

I will in no way be ashamedBut at that time your people-- everyone whose

name is found written in the book-- will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. (Daniel 12:1-3)

Ashamed of Yeshua?If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the

Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the

Father and of the holy angels" (Luke 9:26).

and now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and

unashamed before him at his coming" (1 John 2:28).

If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Messiah, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your joy in Messiah Yahusha will overflow on account of me. (Philippians 1:20-26)

The Transfiguration EventDoesn’t this prove that Moses and Elijah are

alive in heaven?And he said to them, "I tell you the truth, some who

are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of Elohim come with power." After six days Yahusha took Kepha, Ya'acov and Yochanan with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone.

There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Eliyahu and Mosheh,

who were talking with Yahusha. Kepha said to Yahusha, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three

shelters-- one for you, one for Mosheh and one for Eliyahu." (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.) Then

a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"

Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Yahusha. (Mark 9:1-8)

Keys to Understanding the Transfiguration

Use of language of visionsThey would “see” the kingdom of heavenThere “appeared” unto them…

The Thief on the CrossOne of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!" But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear Elohim," he said, "since you are under the same sentence?

We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has

done nothing wrong." Then he said, "Yahusha, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Yahusha answered him, "I tell

you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:39-43)

the Friberg Lexicon sayspara,deisoj, ou, o` from Old Persian word for garden; park, paradise; (1) in the Old Testament the Garden of Eden and the Garden of God; He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of Elohim. (Revelation 2:7)

Keys to Understanding the Promise to the Thief on the Cross

When the thief wakes up, it will be at the time of Yeshua’s kingdom (paradise)

Paradise is the Greek equivalent to the Garden of Eden.

Will Elohim send all unbelievers to an Everlasting, Burning, Torturous Hell?

The Christian doctrine of a never ending conscious existence in a torturing fiery hell is the most insidious and despicable teaching about the Creator of heaven and earth ever hatched in the human mind.

If God really did send anyone to a never-ending conscious state of enduring horrific burning torture, then he would be incalculably more cruel and hostile than any human being that ever lived.

This wicked doctrine came from the worst period in Catholic Church history. It is a teaching

concocted by the severely corrupted Roman Church in order to scare the populace into

conformity and obedience to the Papal authority. Martin Luther even stated that he could not

support the doctrine of the immortality of the soul, which he called one of the "endless

monstrosities in the Roman dunghill of decretals"

Does Yeshua Teach that Unbelievers Go to a Fiery Hell?

This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:49-50)

UmmmmIf your hand or your foot causes you to sin cut it

off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell. (Matthew 18:8-9)

Hold On…If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for

you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. And if your

foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be

thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of Elohim with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where 'their worm does not die, and

the fire is not quenched.' (Mark 9:43-48)

Context, Context, Context Everyone who heard Yahusha's words were familiar with Jerusalem and its topography. Surrounding the city of Jerusalem were two valleys, one of which was called the Valley of Hinnom. It was in that valley, historically, that many Israelites sacrificed their children to Molech by burning them in the fire.Even after the practice of child sacrifice in the Valley of Hinnom ended, this same valley became the place where the dead bodies of criminals and animals were thrown. It was the garbage dump for the city. It was always on fire and was infested with the maggots which eat away at dead and rotting flesh, or any garbage.

But Wait… There’s MoreAs the new heavens and the new earth that I make will

endure before me," declares Yahuwah, "so will your name and descendants endure. From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me," says Yahuwah. "And they will go out and look upon the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind." (Isaiah 66:22-24)

Perishing in the Lake of FireThis Gehenna is where the bodies of Yeshua’s

enemies will be thrown and all who exit Yerushalayim to worship our Father will see the remains of the dead bodies.

Gehenna is the precursor for the Lake of Fire where all unbelievers will be thrown where they will perish and for their final destruction.

What About the Rich Man and Lazarus?Luke 16Why did Yeshua relate this story?No one has ever gone into heaven except the

one who came from heaven-- the Son of Man. (4th Gospel [John] 3:13)

What About Saul and the Witch of Endor?1 Samuel 28She said, “I see a spirit coming up out of the

ground”Was is really Samuel or was it a spirit

impersonating Samuel?“Samuel came up”

What About the Souls Under the Alter?Revelation 6 – the fifth seal, they say, “how long….”But, Rev 20:4 And I saw the souls of those who had

been beheaded because of their testimony for Yahusha and because of the word of Elohim. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Messiah a thousand years.

Christian FuneralsThey like to call them "home going" celebrations,

or some other like expression, because they believe that their dead loved one has “gone home to be with Jesus.” He’s “in a better place.” The preacher waxes eloquent on what he imagines it is like for that soul as he or she has finally met Jesus face to face and is rejoicing and celebrating this blissful outcome.

I only hope that people will one day realize that death is not a reason to celebrate. And a funeral is not a happy occasion. Death is ugly. People that die are really altogether dead, and they aren't coming back. And they aren't in a better place - unless you think returning to dust as a better place than living.

Funerals are a proper place of weeping and mourning because somebody has really died and is gone. He's not in heaven. He's not in that fiery hell. He is altogether gone and is no more.

As Paul puts it, "we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope" (1 Thessalonians 4:13). Therefore encourage each other with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:18)The Resurrection is our hope. This is the focus of a proper burial service.
