Death and Afterwards For the Believer and the Unbeliever

For thousands of years, death has reigned on earth. What has happened to all those who have come before us who have succumbed to the inevitable cessation of a brief life? And what will happen to us? And what will happen to our children? Our pets?

This book traces the destinations of the dead (and the living) from Adam to the eternal state. We presuppose the veracity of the Bible, Heaven, and Hell. As such, we learn that believers who lived and died prior to the Cross had a somewhat different afterlife experience than what believers this side of Cross experience. We also can look to passages such as 1 Corinthians 15 to get an outline of the future history of believers (vv. 20-28) and glean much information about the glorified body (vv. 35-54). As well, we turn to 2 Corinthians 5:1-4 to learn about the longing of Christians to not die but to receive a glorified body.

There is also provided a lengthy Question and Answer chapter tackling subjects such as soul sleep, the Rapture, the nature of those living in the Millennial Kingdom and the eternal state, the New Jerusalem, the judgments of all people, rewards for believers, animals and marriage in Heaven, and more.

Includes four charts to help consolidate the material.
