THE WORLD OF THE DEAD.

Do people have any idea of what the world of the dead means? Are they aware of soul's victories and defeats? Death is one of the most misunderstanding subject of today world. For many Death is a mystery and evokes dread, uncertainty, and hopelessness. For others believe the dead are not dead but instead live in other realms. Millions are confused about the relationship between the body, spirit and soul. What you believe about the Dead will have a profound impact on what happens to you in the near future.
The Devil lied to Eve about Death. He said to her that she would not die. This lie is one of the pillars of his treacherous teachings since the beginning of the world. He has worked powerfully using sorcery to trick people and deceive the world about the real meaning of being dead.
1 Thessalonians 4: 13-13 says, "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in Death so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no Hope." "David ... is both dead and buried and his tomb is with us to this day ...     For David did not ascend into the Heavens" (Acts 2: 29, 34)."
Genesis 2:7 says, "The Lord formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of Life; and man became a living soul." Ezekiel 18:20 says, "The soul that sinned, it shall die." Also Ezekiel says in chapter 37:8 "And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no God's breath in them."
Ecclesiastes 12:7 says, "Then the dust will return to the Earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it." James 2: 26 says, "The body without the spirit is dead."
2 Corinthians 5:1 says, "For we know that if the Earthly Tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an Eternal House in Heaven, not built by human hands."5:4-10 "For while we are in this Earthly Tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now the One who has fashioned us for this very Purpose is God, who 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 Lord. For 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 Lord. 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 Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."
1 Corinthians 15: 12-22 says, "But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the Dead, how can some of you say that there is no Resurrection of the Dead? If there is no Resurrection of the Dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is the Faith. More than that, we are then found to be False Witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the Dead. But He did not raise Him if in fact the Dead are not raised. For if the Dead are not raised, the Faith is futile; and we are still in our sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this Life we have Hope in Christ,we are of all people the most to be pitied. But Christ has indeed been Raised from the Dead, the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since Death came through a man, the resurrection of the Dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive."
Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom."
Job 14: 12, 21 says, "Man lies down and does not rise. Till the Heavens are no more, they will not awake nor be roused from their sleep ... His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; they are brought low, and he does not perceive it."
John 5: 28-29 says, "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His Voice and come out -those who have done what is good will rise to live and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned."
The Scripture in Luke 16: 23 says, "And being in torments in Hades( the rich man) lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom."
Hebrews 12: 1-2 says, "Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also let aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely and let us run with perseverance the race set before us, looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our Faith, who for the sake of the Joy that was set before Him endured the cross, disregarding the shame and has taken His seat at the right of the Throne of God.
Matthew 10: 28 says, "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in Hell."
Philippians 3: 20-21 says, "But our citizenship is in Heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the Power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body."
Revelations 20: 11-15 says, "Then I saw a great white Throne and Him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from His presence and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the Throne, and Books were opened. Another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life. The dead were judge according to what they had done as recorded in the Books. The Sea gave up the dead that were in it and Death and Hades gave the dead that were in them
and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written  in the Book of Life was thrown into the Lake of Fire."
Remember what Timothy says in chapter 3 :16-17 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in Righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work." ... "For we walk by Faith and not by sight" (2 Cor. 5:7) .
