The mass media is full of stories (and films) about the dead and they tell them under a lot of salacious headings; the zombie dead, the living dead, the undead, the secret dead, the dead walks, alien dead, brain dead, dawn of the dead, etc and under genres like ghosts, mummies, vampires, zombies and the like. Most of these are offered as horror and entertainment but in truth these directors and actors know virtually nothing about the real situation as we are about to see.

Our contemplation is based on a straightforward, simple, sincere statement of observation by the Apostle John as God gave him a glimpse of eternity, “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God…” (Revelation 20:12a) This scripture, along with many others, affirm …show more content…
Having peace and rest, “The righteous perish, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds…” (Isaiah 57:1-2a)
Knowing persistent blessedness, “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.” (Revelation 14:13a)

Status of the unsaved dead
The unsaved dead by their decision not to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are confined, like some demons, to prolonged suffering:
In torment, “And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.” (Luke 16:23) The kind of torment is debatable but sure all the …show more content…
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God…and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” (Revelation 20:11-12)

Surrounding the eternal state
Following the judgments every soul will enter the eternal state.
Some to everlasting bliss, “Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” (Matthew 25: 34)
Some to everlasting damnation, “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Matthew 25: 41) and they shall depart, “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” (Matthew 25: 46)

As in this contemplation we see that God has spoken and the situation is clear; death is not the end. Beyond the grave there is no second chance; there was none for Dives and there will be none for unbelievers. Now is our chance to make it right with God, now is the time to be saved, and now is the time to seize the opportunity before we join the
