Life Before and After Death

Spiritual life

Life was originally created prior to this world’s existence. Life was originally created in an eternal spiritual realm. All existent life was in the form of spirits.

Spirits have no form or mass, which means they can’t be seen or weighed. Since life was created to exist eternally, there is no relative time span for their existence.

All spirits believe God, and spirits can do nothing without God the Father’s permission. Spirits are eternal creatures and cannot be destroyed. Spirits were intended to live in a material body on earth.

Human life

When God created Human life on earth, life was still eternal. This means it could never end, but this does not mean physical death did not exist. It only means people were not aware of the existence of death. It does not mean a person would never die.

The lifespan of a person was very long, and when death finally caused their human body to fail, God simply renewed their human body and put them back into it. This is known as the resurrection of the dead.

When people had no knowledge, this system of eternal life did not present a problem; but when knowledge entered the world, the human brain could not grasp the concept of death. This generated the fear of death, and this fear generates sin.

Therefore, Adam and Eve would have never physically died had they never sinned against God, which was to disobey God. Now people know about physical death, but they can’t see proof that they will return to life after death.

Knowledge of physical death was the result of Adam and Eve’s sin, but this did not mean their lives ended. It just meant their time on earth ended, until the next phase of life.

Once their time on earth ended, they had to return to the eternal existence as spirits to await becoming human beings again. The same human body would be renewed over and over as the person’s life continued eternally.

It is important to understand spirits are eternal creatures, because it means our lives will never cease. The question is, why do we physically die?

Physical death is simply an end of one’s human body, but it is not an end of one’s spirit.

Physical death is limited to a very short time period, known as Time, which began a little over 6,000 years ago on earth, and will come to an end in about 1,000 years.

The life span of human beings prior to ‘Time’ when ‘Death’ entered the world is unknown. A person’s life span could have been thousands of years or even millions of years long prior to Adam’s first sin.

Length of life

The length of a person‘s lifespan was unlimited prior to the first sin. Afterward, Mankind’s lifespan had a maximum duration of 1,000 years; and after the flood it was limited to 120 years. Before the flood, people lived for nearly a thousand years before physical death overtook them.

There is no factual reason to believe this is some twist of counting time differently than we do today. Yet there is plenty of evidence which proves this length of human life was literal.

God told Noah the future of the human lifespan would be limited to 120 years after the flood, because sin had increased in the world. This limitation shows us there is a direct connection between sin and aging.

A limitation was placed on the human race by God to limit evil on earth. The first person, recorded in the Old Testament, who was limited to 120 years of life was Moses.

Tracking the ages of people from Adam to Moses shows us that people’s ages slowly diminished from Adam’s 930 years of age to Moses’ 120 years. This occurred over a 4,500 year time period, and was a very slow process. This amounts to a person’s age being reduced by less than 20 years per century.

In the five centuries between Moses, who lived for 120 years, and the era of Israel’s kings, Man’s age was further reduced to just 70 years — a reduction of 50 years over 5 centuries, which amounts to a reduction of 10 years per century.

This serves as proof concerning the Biblical ages of ancient human beings, but only after Adam and Eve’s first sin. This is the beginning of recorded time on earth.

Man’s written records show that people’s ages increased during the 18th and 19th centuries back to 120 years. This was due to the Victorian Age, when morality became the primary goal of people. Then the Industrial Revolution, which produced deadly toxins into our atmosphere, reduced Man’s age once again to less than 40 years of age.

This phenomenon didn’t end until World War II. Since then Mankind had slowly crept back into the 70 to 80 year range of life.

This newest change is directly due to the leaps medicine has made in the 20th century, which was an act of love on behalf of nations toward their citizens, but with countries all over the world canceling their social programs, love is becoming cold.

Physical death

Once death overtakes a human being, their physical body dies; but their personal spirit, who is the person, continues on into eternity, which is a timeless place, to wait being returned as living human beings to the planet earth.

This process will take millions of years after everyone physically dies. This enormous time period will have no effect on the spiritual realm where the dead continue living, because time is a non-existent item in the eternal world.

Once the resurrection takes place, physical life on earth will return to its original eternal system. An example would be: think of yourself being in your favorite place, such as Disneyland or at football games without ever getting physically tired or bored.

In these situations, it is the same for all human beings. When you are enjoying yourself, time has no meaning and passes by very quickly.

It will be the same over the millions of years it will take our planet to reproduce itself and prepare itself for our return.

You will sleep through it and return. This will be life after death.

The Right Hand of God

Jesus sits on the Right Hand of God

This statement confounds the world, but it is quite simple to understand. Determining what it means demands we know God’s location.

Most people believe God is out there somewhere. Somewhere ranges from a place called Heaven to the universe or beyond.

The simple truth is that God only lives inside people. Therefore, God’s palace is right inside you! God’s palace is inside every human being, since your body is God’s Temple. When Jesus stated:

“In my Father’s house are many mansions: I go to prepare a place for you.”

Jesus was referring to his spirit residing inside every human being right next to God the Father. This is the meaning of Jesus sitting at the right hand of God.

Since Jesus is inside you, then don’t let anyone deceive you into believing Jesus is somewhere else. Jesus’ throne is right next to God’s throne inside you.

If you are a human being, then Jesus has been inside you since you were inside your mother’s womb. Since Jesus is the Holy Spirit, then everyone has the Holy Spirit from the time he or she is inside their mother’s womb. Don’t listen to the liars. They’re just jealous!

God took dirt and formed it into a human being named Adam. Then God breathed a living Spirit into that new human being and it came alive. The living Spirit that moved into Adam was God.

The Bible tells us that God is everywhere at the same time. This is true. It simply means God is living inside all of us at the same time. It is God that gives us life, and makes us living human beings.

We are only alive because God is inside us making everything function. This is why John the Apostle wrote.

“If you hate your brother, how can you say you love God?”

The Apostle was telling us: when one person kills another person or hurts another person they are really attacking God, because the spirit controlling them hates God.

An attack on a person is an attack on God. Since God is a Spirit, then He is inside every person. If Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God, then he has to be inside your body also. This is why your body is the Temple of God.

There is no provision for Jesus or God moving out of a person’s body until the day people physically die.

God’s Spirit is a multiple Spirit able to be inside everyone at the same time. God’s Spirit is giving us life and operating our bodies.

When Jesus’ personal spirit was glorified by God fifty days after the crucifixion, Jesus’ personal spirit was multiplied by God and became the Holy Spirit to enable his spirit to live inside all living human beings from that moment forward; and it doesn’t matter if a person believes it or does not believe it.

It doesn’t matter if a person is black, green, white, yellow or red; or if a person is a Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, non-religious or other religion. Jesus is our Conscience, all the time, at the same time, and everywhere.

The Bible says Jesus’ throne is right next to God’s throne. It even tells us it is on the right side of God’s throne.

Since God’s throne is inside us, then Jesus’ throne is inside us right next to God. Hence, Jesus sits at the right hand of God.

God’s Counterweapon — Part 3

God’s Trap

God’s plan involved tricking satan into killing Jesus. God chose, assembled, and trained the Jewish people as priests several thousand years prior to the birth of Christ. There were two reasons for the existence of the Jewish nation:

1) To be the priests anointed by God to offer the final sacrifice of the Passover Lamb for the sins of the world.

2) To be the world’s scapegoat, which is the second Passover lamb who is blamed for the sins of the world.

God would not accept a sacrifice from any other people on earth. Therefore, it was necessary for the Jewish people to kill Jesus, the Lamb of God.

If the Jewish people had not fulfilled their destiny, God would have had to punish all human beings by banishing them to eternal damnation for being disobedient and breaking the least of His commandments.

When satan influenced people to kill Jesus, he unleashed God’s promise to glorify Jesus after his death. This means Jesus would become the Holy Spirit, and become exactly like God.

Jesus’ spirit would now have the ability to be everywhere at the same time just like God. Jesus would now sit at the right hand of God inside every living person on earth throughout time.

Jesus’ personal spirit would become the Conscience inside every living person’s brain, who was alive or born on the 50th day after the crucifixion, which would continue to the end of the world.

Therefore, satan could not win because God’s plan was perfect.

The Comforter is the personal spirit of Jesus, who is the Holy Spirit. Jesus has continued his work on earth as all people’s Consciences.

Physical death no longer limited Jesus to the confines of a human body. He was now free to carry God’s message to all people. Jesus became the victim, the fulfillment of the ritual animal sacrifice for sin.

God rewarded Jesus’ unselfish act on the cross by multiplying Jesus’ personal spirit, which is the Glorification of Jesus. Now Jesus could sit at the right hand of God His Father inside every human being from the womb.

Now everyone on earth, and every human mind, had access to God through Jesus. The Holy Spirit inside them is known as the Conscience.

Jesus could now influence every human brain on earth all the time and at the same time; while satan’s influence of the human brain depends on his armies of demons, most of whom are weak, undependable, ignorant, and greedy; and not all are intelligent.

Then satan has to contend with many demons who simply refuse to hurt living human beings, because once they physically died, they realized they were lied to and deceived about God and the world to come.

If it weren’t for human greed and hatred, satan and his hordes of demons would have never brought the world to its present state of evil.

God’s Counterweapon — Part 2

Three things were accomplished on the cross

First, Jesus being perfectly innocent of any sin or crime and being executed resulted in His glorification: which simply means, God multiplied Jesus’ personal spirit after he died.

Jesus’ personal spirit was the spirit God chose to send to earth. It was a particular spirit’s turn to be born as a human being, just like all other human beings.

Jesus’ personal spirit is the spirit that left his body on the cross the moment he died. Physical death is caused by God’s Spirit leaving your human body, which also causes your personal spirit to leave your body.

Second, Jesus is the final sacrifice. Jesus’ blood being spilled on the cross made him the final sacrifice for all Mankind’s sins. It includes every person ever born on earth, but it doesn’t include anyone who freely chooses to reject God’s offer of being saved.

Jesus, having been a perfectly sinless human being, made himself the victim that became the offering, which paid for every sin ever committed by the human race.

There is only one exception to this accomplishment. The exception is one sin, known as blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, which is purposely contradicting and denying what is written in the Bible. It is not covered by this salvation plan.

Third, Jesus had successfully broken the curse on Mankind since the days of Adam. The devil was well aware of Jesus’ birth, existence, and mission.

This is why satan influenced King Herod to kill Jesus as a baby but his plot failed, which is a vital part of God’s protection plan, known as salvation, which is extended to anyone who truly chooses to believe God.

Jesus was satan’s only enemy, and that left satan no other alternative but to have Jesus killed. The devil believed that Jesus would have defeated him by getting all people to worship God, if Jesus were allowed to live.

Killing Jesus was satan’s greatest error, because sacrificing Jesus was the essence of God’s plan to defeat satan.

You could say satan defeated himself.  When he influenced the brains of the Pharisees and Romans to kill Jesus, satan walked right into God’s trap.

Jesus had challenged satan during his lifetime and defeated him in death. Jesus challenged satan to a duel. The weapon chosen was the Bible.

Forty days after God anointed Jesus at John’s baptism; satan tried tempting Jesus by injecting thoughts into his brain.

Each thought from satan was defeated instantly by Jesus using the Word of God (the Bible) to prove his thoughts misinterpretations of Biblical principles, which makes them lies.

Thus, Jesus taught us how to counteract the ideas satan and demons put into the brains of people.
