What happen when a person dies?

  1. Do all men go to the grave?
    Answer: Yes (Job 5:26; 7:9; 10:19; 14:10,13; 17:13; 30:23; 31:32; 33:22, Ecclesiastes 9:10, Isaiah 38:18, Psalm 88:11-12, John 5:28).
  2. Does the scripture say that death is like a sleep?
    Answer: Yes (Matthew 9:24, Mark 5:39, Job 3:11,13,17; 7:21; 14:12; 17:13, 1 Corinthians 11:30; 15:6,18,20,51, 1 Kings 11:43; 14:20,31; 15:8, 2 Chronicles 21:1; 26:23, Psalm 17:15; 90:5; 13:3, Ephesians 5:14, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15; 5:10, Daniel 12:2,13, Jeremiah 51:39,57, 2 Peter 3:4, Acts 13:36, Luke 8:52). Jesus gives us His understanding of death. Jesus compares the condition of man at death to that of a sleep (John 11:11-14). It is always safe to follow Jesus. In Acts 7:59-60, the Greek word interpreted “spirit” in verse 59 is (4151 pneuma) which means: “a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze”. This is the equivalent to the Hebrew word for “spirit” (7307ruwach). This is the “breath of life,” mentioned in Genesis 2:7, which God receives back at our death.
  3. What else does the scripture call death?
    Answer: “the grave…the pit” (Psalm 30:3), “the grave…the dark…the land of forgetfulness” (Psalm 88:11-12), “silence” Psalm 115:17), “rest” (Daniel 12:13), “cease from troubling…be at rest” (Job 3:17), “the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness” (Job 17:13), “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours” (Revelation 14:13).
  4. Does the intelligent, thinking part of man live somewhere else after death? Are those who die aware of anything on the earth, in heaven, in hell or the grave?
    Answer: No (Psalm 6:5; 78:39; 88:10:12; 103:14-16; 115:17; 146:4, Job 7:9-10; 10:18; 14:12,21, Ecclesiastes 3:22; 9:5-10, Isaiah 26:14; 38:18).

Most of us have been taught that if a man takes a blow to the head hard enough to knock him out, then he knows nothing. However, if he is hit hard enough to kill him, then he knows everything! Strange. Does a dead man really know more than a living one? Not according to David; “In that very day his thoughts perish” (Psalms 146:4), and the other passages listed in the previous question and answer.
