What Happens When We Die?
Recap of Last Week
We believe Jesus rose from the dead
We believe that we will be resurrected from the dead also.
If we don’t believe in the Resurrection of the dead we are most miserable and the only hope for us in life is what this life has to offer.
Recap of the last two verses from last week:
1
Paul Describes the afterlife
1 corinthians 15:
What happens to us when we die?
1 corinthians
People argue about this question all the time
Some feel that when you die you are instantly with the Lord while others believe you go into a holding chamber
People argue about
The body goes back to dust
Ecclesi
Where does the spirit Go?
Flesh and Blood cannot inherit the Kingdom so is Paul saying that our bodies can’t make it into Heaven?
No, if you look further into Paul’s message you will see that our Corruptible bodies must put on incorruption.
During the rapture the dead in Christ will rise in incorruption

So what happens to our Spirits when we die?
All through the old testament and even through Jesus’ teachings there was a place called Sheol/Hades.
Sheol was sometimes translated as Grave but wrongly so.
It was never used plural, as in “all the graves in a cemetery”.
When Sheol is used, it never speaks of the body going there.
When Sheol is used, it never speaks of the body going there.
Sheol never refers to an individual's grave.
The Bible never speaks of a man putting a dead person into Sheol.
Man never digs or makes a Sheol.
Sheol/Hades does not refer to hell as hell is normally understood.
The Lord Jesus went to Sheol/Hades between His death and resurrection.
The Lord Jesus went to Sheol/Hades between His death and resurrection.
Sheol/Hades is located in the center of the earth.
Sheol/Hades is located in the center of the earth.
Sheol/Hades once had two compartments: one for the souls of the saved, the other for the souls of the unsaved.
Jesus said “Surely today you will be with me in Paradise” to the sinner that converted on the cross beside Him.
There is a story that Jesus shared about this holding compartment called Sheol/Hades in which many people believe to be another parable.
is not a parable.
This story wasn’t just a parable.
How can we tell?
How can we tell that this story wasn’t a parable?
1.
It would be the only parable in the Bible that describes certain things that are outside of the realm of human experience.
All the other parables talk about things that we are familiar with such as birds, seed, fields, pearls, wheat, barns, leaven, fish, etc. (see , etc.).
This passage is different because it talks about what happens to two men after death, and this is a realm where none of us have had any personal experience.
A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly or spiritual significance, but transcends the realm of the earthly.
2. It would be the only parable in the Bible that uses a proper name (Lazarus).
3. It would be the only parable in the Bible that makes mention repeatedly of a historical person--Abraham.
Moreover, this historical person actually carries on a dialogue with the rich man!
Indeed, mention is also made in this parable of Moses, another historical character.
What other parable speaks of real, historical persons?
4.
It would be the only parable in the Bible that describes the places where the dead go (Hades, Abraham's bosom, a place of torment).
5.
It would be the only parable in the Bible that makes mention of angels.
Compare verses 24-30, 36-43, 47-49 where angels are mentioned in the explanation of the parable but not in the parable itself.
6.
If Hades is not really a place of torment then this would be the only parable in the Bible where the Lord Jesus taught error instead of truth.
GOD FORBID!
Following the Resurrection/Ascension of Christ, the righteous dead go immediately to the third heaven, to be with Christ.
They do not go to Hades.
