“Lord, behold,

Notice how David expressed
his grief over the loss of his son.
“O my son Absalom -my son, my son Absalom - if only I had died in your
place! O Absalom my son,
my son.” 2 Samuel 18:33

“Have mercy upon me, O
God, according to Your
lovingkindness; according to
the multitude of Your tender
mercies, blot out my
transgressions.”
“Restore to me the joy of
Your salvation.”
Psalm 51:1,12

Joab told David to do so
“Now therefore, arise, go out
and speak comfort to your
servants. For I swear by the
LORD, if you do not go out, not
one will stay with you this night.
And that will be worse for you
than all the evil that has befallen
you from your youth until now.”2
Samuel 19:7

“God is our refuge
and strength, a very
present help in
trouble. Therefore
we will not fear.”
Psalm 46:1,2

What really
happens at
death?
In order to
understand death
we must first
examine life and
look at how God
created the first
human being.
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
“And the LORD God
formed man of the dust
of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life; and
man became a living
being.” Genesis 2:7
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
At death, the reverse takes
place!
“His breath goeth forth,
he returneth to his earth;
in that very day his
thoughts perish.”
Psalm 146:4, KJV
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
“Then the dust will
return to the earth as
it was, and the spirit
will return to God
who gave it.”
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
So, At Death:
We don’t go to
heaven!
We don’t go to hell!
We don’t go to
purgatory!
The breath
returns to God.
The body returns
to earth.
We await the
resurrection!
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
“For the living know
that they will die; but
the dead know nothing,
and they have no more
reward, for the memory
of them is forgotten.
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
Also their love, their
hatred, and their envy
have now perished;
nevermore will they
have a share in anything
done under the sun.”
Ecclesiastes 9:5,6
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
Therefore,
we cannot
talk with
the dead
members
of our
family.

“For they are spirits of
demons, performing signs,
which go out to the kings of
the earth and of the whole
world, to gather them to the
battle of that great day of
God Almighty.”
Revelation 16:14
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
How
could
Satan
have
such
power?
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
“How you are fallen
from heaven, o Lucifer,
son of the morning!
How you are cut down
to the ground, You who
weakened the nations!
For you have said in
your heart:
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
‘I will ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the
stars of God; I will also sit on
the mount of the congregation
on the farthest sides of the
north; I will ascend above the
heights of the clouds, I will be
like the Most High.’”
Isaiah 14:12-14
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
The being we
now call
Satan, once
lived in
heaven.
His name was
Lucifer which
means “Son
of the
Morning”.
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
He coveted the
authority of
God declaring,
“I will be like
the Most High.
When Lucifer
rebelled
against God,
there was war
in heaven.
(Rev. 12:7)
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
Christ, called
Michael, with
his angels fought
against Lucifer
and his angels
(Rev. 12:7)
Satan was
defeated. He
and his angels
were banished to
earth. (Rev. 12:9)
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
Lucifer and his
angels were not
divested of their
power!
Today countless
evil angels roam
this planet!
They have power
to personate the
dead!
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
An Abomination!
“There shall not be found among
you anyone who makes his son or
his daughter pass through the fire,
or one who practices witchcraft, or
a soothsayer, or one who interprets
omens, or a sorcerer, or one who
conjures up spells, or a medium, or
a spiritist, or one who calls up the
dead.
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
“For all who do
these things are an
abomination to the
LORD.”
Deuteronomy
18:10-12
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
Don’t Go!
“When they say to you,
‘Seek those who are
mediums and wizards, who
whisper and mutter,’ should
not a people seek their God?
Should they seek the dead
on behalf of the living?”
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
After I become
a part of God’s
Happy Family, I
should have
no fear.
If someone
directs Satanic
activity at me, I
am protected!
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
“He who dwells in
the secret place of the
Most High shall abide
under the shadow of
the Almighty. I will
say of the LORD,
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
‘He is my refuge and my
fortress; my God, in Him I will
trust. No evil shall befall you,
nor shall any plague come
near your dwelling for He
shall give His angels charge
over you, to keep you in all
your ways.”
Psalm 91:1,2,10,11
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
When I submit
my life to Christ,
Satan cannot
harm me!
But if I do not
make that
commitment,
the devil can
destroy me!
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
Now let’s return
to the story of
Lazarus.
Finally, the
Savior arrived,
and an
interesting
conversation
took place.
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
Jesus:
“Your brother
will rise again.”
Martha:
“I know he will rise
again in the last
day
John 11:23
John 11:24
Mary & Martha: “If
you had been here,
my brother would not
have died
Jesus:
“I am the
resurrection and
the life.”
John 11:21,22
John 11:25
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
By this time
Lazarus had
been dead four
days!
But standing
beside the tomb,
Christ, the life
giver, gave an
astonishing
command!
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
“He cried with a loud voice,
‘Lazarus, come forth!’ And
he who had died came out
bound hand and foot with
grave clothes, and his face
was wrapped with a cloth.
Jesus said to them, ‘Loose
him, and let him go.’”
John 11:43-44
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
Mary, Martha
and Lazarus
embraced in
grand reunion!
The sisters
talked with
their brother,
who died and
was alive again.
Neighbors and
friends joined
in the grand
celebration.
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
The
resurrection
and family
reunion that
day was a
symbol of the
great family
reunion when
Jesus comes
again.
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
“For the Lord Himself
will descend from
heaven with a shout,
with the voice of an
archangel, and with the
trumpet of God. And the
dead in Christ will rise
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
Then we who are alive
and remain shall be
caught up together with
them in the clouds to meet
the Lord in the air. And
thus we shall always be
with the Lord.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Happy Family Forever! Home Sweet Home! I’m Going Home!
What a meeting
that will be!

with wives, parents
with children,
friends with friends.
Meeting - never to
