However, many people, that show the rainbow, said that it was Elizabeth ascending into Heaven but the truth is that Elizabeth is in her death sleep, resting in the grave waiting for the Second Advent of Christ. In my opinion, He did that to show that He was with her during her dying process. Recently, when Queen Elizabeth passed on into death, God showed up He showed "His presence" was there by creating a double-rainbow in the skies of England at that very moment that she died. But God was there with her to comfort her, as He is with all those that passed on into death He is still with them I think that she wanted to hold on to life for a little while longer, but her body was too weak to support her. My mother, who died over 30 years ago, was in pain, or in the dying process for over a day and a half, about 30 hours. They first thought she had a heart attack but the death certificate says that it was a loss of oxygen, or complications, due to her lung disease. My sister-in-law was not in pain very long her arm started hurting and a few minutes later, she was gone. So, when she died, we were all taken by surprised it just did not feel right, because we thought she was getting better.Īlso death, and the process of dying can be very painful. My sister-in-law recently died, who had been sick for a little over a year however, she was make good progress in recovering from her illness. This is also why we continue to be surprised when someone dies, even when they were very sick. I think, my opinion only, that there is something within all of us that knows that "death" was not originally supposed to happen it was only after sin that death became a reality. How, then, might one argue that, in one sense, the dead have it better than we the living do? The next thing they know is the return of Christ. They close their eyes in death and, whether in the grave 1500 years or 5 months, it’s all the same to them.


The life is hid with Christ in God, and ’when Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.’ John 8:51-52 Colossians 3:4.” - Ellen G. … To the Christian, death is but a sleep, a moment of silence and darkness. No wonder that “to the believer, death is but a small matter. Second, there is an amazing reward waiting for those who die in Christ. First of all, there is no everlasting burning hell or temporary purgatory waiting for those who die unsaved.

The biblical teaching of unconsciousness in death should not generate any panic in Christians.

These statements confirm the biblical teaching that the dead are unconscious. This is a perfect biblical depiction of what happens at death.Īnd Ecclesiastes chapter 9 adds that “the dead know nothing” and in the grave “there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom” ( Ecclesiastes 9:5, Ecclesiastes 9:10, NKJV). This hardly sounds as if the dead, the faithful (and thankful) dead, are in heaven worshiping God.Īccording to Psalm chapter 146, the mental activities of the individual cease with death: “His spirit departs, he returns to the earth on that very day his plans perish” ( Psalm 146:4, NASB). Psalm chapter 115 defines the location where the dead are kept as a place of silence, because “the dead do not praise the LORD” ( Psalm 115:17, NKJV). (In the more dire moments, who hasn’t wished that he or she had never been born?) He recognizes that if he had died at his birth, he would remain asleep and at rest ( Job 3:11, Job 3:13).
