Losing a loved one is a great pain for all of us. Losing a parent or child is especially painful. Unfortunately, no one has yet managed to escape the cruel clutches of death. Death visits us regardless of our possessions, our achievements, and public recognition, and we one day lose our lovely ones.
Sadly, death also visited the family of beloved actor Will Smith. As you know his father died. This information was confirmed by his ex-wife, Sheree Fletcher.
What happens after death? What do we lose?
Birth and death, are the two days that are especially important in the life of every person. What awaits each of us after death and what do we know about life and death?
The main message given to mankind about life after death is the resurrection of Christ. Christ died a real death and rose again, and now his tomb is empty. The resurrected Christ taught that death is not annihilation. There are still many events that will follow death, because the resurrection of the dead, the great judgment, and the reality of eternal life are still future realities.
The death of a person is the separation of his soul from his body. The body was soil and is becoming soil. The soul waits in a temporary spiritual station for the day of resurrection of the dead. So, the souls of ordinary people are like people who are arrested but not yet judged. Who does not yet know the outcome of the trial? In this case, it becomes even more important to ask the judge for the best possible outcome, because, in the terrible judgment, everything will be taken into account: a person’s deeds, words, thoughts, and advice.
Where do souls end up after we lose our life?
There are four states for every human being. until our birth, when we are not yet, from birth to the day of our death, this earthly life, from death to the resurrection of the dead, which is the afterlife, where a person is dead in the body and alive in the spirit, which is also a temporary state, and from the resurrection of the dead to eternal life, where the final, just retribution will be according to good and evil deeds.
Are all souls waiting in the same place?
All souls are not waiting in the same place. In the story of Lazarus and the rich man, we see that Lazarus went to Abraham, and the rich man went to a place where he was tormented by thirst. It is known that both were dead, both were souls, but they were in different places. In the case of people’s death, the souls stop somewhere, they wait, but which station they wait for depends on their merits.
Can spirits from that world communicate anything to the living?
There is no state of whimsical movement or communication in the spiritual world. Just as we have boundaries and limitations to be able to do something in the earthly life. It is the same in heavenly life. The souls in that world are accompanied by angels and await their judgment in different stations. An exception is the stuff of saints, but there are no whims in that world. But it is not the duty of the souls of dead people to convey something from “the other world” to the living.
Why do the souls of the dead appear in people’s dreams?
It is difficult to distinguish whether what appears in a dream is a reflection of that person’s memory or the soul of the deceased. For example, in a dream, we see not only the soul of the deceased but also the whole person that we lose. Now what, the whole person appeared in the dream? In other words, memory is full of episodes from the lives of relatives. So when a person dies, the memories of that person remain and are reflected in our dreams. And it is very wrong to see a bad sign in seeing the dead in a dream.
