Just exactly where does a person end up upon leaving the earth? The Bible is quite clear on the subject, if you read the scriptures that is. If, however, you are relying on your pastor to reveal these truths to you, don't be disappointed when they won't.
The plain and simple truth about the matter is, you are simply as good as asleep, unconscious, nonexistent. Your body goes back to the earth, your spirit that God gave to you goes back to him, your soul, that is a product of body and spirit together, simply ceases to exist, only in Gods mind will it's memory be stored.
Jesus himself was quoted as saying that no man has ascended to the father, but the one who descended. (meaning himself) What need would we have for the snatching away where (The dead in Christ rise first) then we who are alive to join them in the clouds? If the dead in Christ are already in heaven, why do they need resurrected from the grave? And then be changed in the twinkling of an eye?
No, the Bible is very clear on the subject, as it is on hell, sorry, no such place awaits the sinning masses of humanity, as much as that may disappoint some of you. The truth is, these people in this group end up at what is called The Great White Throne Judgement. And as before, with the dead in christ being roused from the dead to glory, these wicked dead will be roused from sleep, unconsciousness, non-existence, into flesh and blood bodies in a New Heaven And a New Earth, To Face The Great White Throne Judgement.
This time period will be for learning about God and making restitution to people who you have wronged, and who have wronged you, Some of your family and friends may have already been roused in the first Resurrection and have been alive during the Thousand Year Millennium!! You will learn about God, Who and what he is, and his whole plan for humanity, including why you ended up where you did!!
The second death for this group they will gladly accept to receive their immortal spirit bodies. All will be saved at the end. For through one man, Adam, All have sinned and die, so then, through one man, Jesus, All will be made alive and reconciled back to God. Even Death, and Hell, and the Grave will be abolished.
John 3:13-16
Concordant Literal Version
13 And no one has ascended into heaven except He Who descends out of heaven, the Son of Mankind Who is in heaven.
14 And, according as Moses exalts the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of Mankind be exalted,
15 that everyone believing on Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian.
16 For thus God loves the world, so that He gives His only-begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian.
34 And, answering, Jesus said to them, "The sons of this eon are marrying and are taking out in marriage.
35 Yet those deemed worthy to happen upon that eon and the resurrection from among the dead
are neither marrying nor taking out in marriage.
36 For neither can they still be dying, for they are equal to messengers, and are the sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 "Now that the dead are rousing, even Moses divulges at the thorn bush,
as he is terming the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
38 Now God is He, not of the dead, but of the living, for all, to Him, are living."
39 Now answering, some of the scribes say to Him, "Teacher, ideally say you."
40 For they no longer dared inquire of Him anything.
