Physical death

You may never have to die physically

"Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed" 1 Cor. 15:51 Death is sleep to the believer.

No one, "can't wait to die." "The last enemy that will be abolished is death" Vs 26. Some of us will never die. God tells us "We will not all sleep." Sleep here is referring to death as in Vs 6, "some are fallen asleep" and in verse 17, 18 which says, "and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished" and 1 Cor. 11:30 "and many sleep."

This is not soul sleep
The soul is very much alive when the body dies as in Luke 16 when the rich man lifted up his eyes in hell and saw Lazarus safe in Abraham's bosom and spoke to him. "To be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord." 2 Cor. 5:8. For the unbeliever it is to be absent from the Lord.

Paul did not want to die and neither do I Read 2 Cor. 5:1-8 carefully. Paul talked about our earthly body being dissolved, dying. "For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked. For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life" Vs. 2-4. As the song says, "Oh joy oh delight, should we go without dying." What a blessed hope we have. Titus 2:13.

A preview of the rapture
Enoch was a preview of one being taken home without dying. "By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God" Heb 11:5. Oh that we had that same testimony.

Oh, dear people, prophecy gives us great hope and peace when we have "understanding of the times" and what is going to happen when our Savior comes to take us home. We should long for His coming and pray, "Even so, come Lord Jesus" Rev. 22:20.

Prayer:  Father, bless Your people who are going through hard times and may they comfort one another with this blessed truth of the coming of the Lord Jesus. In His name I pray.

And I love you, all because the Lord Jesus suffered and died for our sins, paid our debt in full and rose again so we can be forgiven and go to heaven, sumner. Do you believe in that alone for your salvation? Believe and pray to receive Him as your Savior right now. "He that has the Son, has life"
