When Zacharias prophesied, he sang, To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death. The Apostle Paul summed up the New Testament view on death. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed - in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Death is swallowed up in victory.
Last of all is the second death, which comes at the last judgement. All of the righteous will experience the first resurrection and 1,000 years with Jesus on earth. Those who are going on to eternal punishment will experience a second death where they will be finally cast into hell. In this article, many references to death are found in the Bible. The book endeavors to answer the big questions of life.
