This page will be a place to post one scripture at a time to as much as possible, allow that scripture to speak for itself with very little commentary.
The Dead Are Not In Heaven
The scriptures are clear, no one has gone to heaven except Christ, John 3:12 -13 ” If I have told you earthly things and yet you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man ” . Stop it with this Satanic lie that people go to heaven when they die, that belief is simply the original lie told to Adam and Eve at the Garden of Eden when he told them “You Positively will not die” and the religious systems of Satan continue to this very day to teach that lie, they claim that you go to heaven, you got to hell, you transform to some other life form and work your way back up the evolutionary ladder, you do anything except die. Christ taught us that there was going to be a resurrection, if you want to believe in something, believe those words, not the lies of Satan. The resurrection happens under the rulership of Christ during his one thousand year rein as King in that Kingdom. If people go to heaven when they die, or to hell when they die, there can be no resurrection. The scriptures teach us that when people die, they return to the dust from which they came, Genesis 3:19, “for dust you are, and to dust you will return” Ecclesiastes 3:19-20, “For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust.” Ecclesiastes 9:5 tells us this,” For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.” and verse 10 says,”All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, the place to which you are going.” Sheol is not hell, it is simply the grave. Psalms 146:4 says this,”His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; In that day his thoughts do perish.” Even those faithful to God, see death, at Acts 13:36 it says,”For David, on the one hand, served the express will of God in his own generation and fell asleep in death and was laid with his forefathers and did see corruption.” The churches of Satan teach that there is a separation between flesh, soul and spirit. At Ezekiel 18:4 it says this, ” Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul that is sinning—it itself will die. ” The soul of man can die. Isaiah 53:12 says this, “due to the fact that he poured out his soul to the very death,” again, the soul can die. Leviticus 23:30 says that a soul can be destroyed, “As for any soul that will do any sort of work on this very day, I must destroy that soul from among his people.” Psalms 22:29 says this, ” And no one will ever preserve his own soul alive.” Joshua 10:28 tells us, ” As for its king, he devoted him and every soul that was in it to destruction. He let no survivor remain.” souls can be destroyed. Judges 16:30 says about Samson,” And Samson proceeded to say: “Let my soul die with the Philistines.” Acts 3:23 says this, ” Indeed, any soul that does not listen to that Prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.” There will be a resurrection, but there must still be people in the graves for that to be true. At John 5:28-29 it says,” Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. ” At Acts 24:15 something similar, ” and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” At Revelation 20:13 it tells us, ” And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. Hades is simply the grave it is not a place of eternal torment, as you can see, the people in Hades were dead, meaning they were not conscience of anything. Isaiah 26:19 tells us, ” “Your dead ones will live. A corpse of mine they will rise up. Awake and cry out joyfully, YOU residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of mallows, and the earth itself will let even those impotent in death drop [in birth].” A new birth awaits those who have fallen asleep in death. Thus the term, you must be born again, can also apply here. At 1 Corinthians 15: 20-28 it says this, ” However, now Christ has been raised up from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep in death. For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a man. For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive. But each one in his own rank: Christ the first fruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence. Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. For he must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet. As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing. For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.” So you see, there is a progression of events that will lead up to the resurrection, and these things happen during the rein of Christ, and that time has yet to come, so all of those asleep in death remain in the grave until the resurrection, then, they are resurrected to life on earth, like God planed. The scriptures told us that there will be a resurrection of the unrighteous, and unrighteous persons cannot enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
