Thank you Pastor Finley and the team for this beautiful and powerful message from God that gives us hope and inspiration of things to come and shows no doubt that He is real in our lives.
Mark Finley. Dough bachelor and Tim Jennings. Sincere appreciated. I can only sleep while listening to your sermons. Day or night. And I'm perfectly young and healthy.
I joined the SDA church about 20 years ago. Everything made perfect sense learning the facts from the Bible. I believe in the Sabbath and everything about it. One thing I didn't learn or ever heard anyone say, that we would be able to travel to other planets. Other than that everything you have been preaching is the truth straight from God's word. May God bless you Pastor Mark !!!! 🙏🙏
Nancy, thanks for sharing your testimony. Yes, we will be able to travel to other planets. If you'd like to learn more about it, please email us at info@hopelives365.com. May God bless you.
Very clear and accurate. Well explained. Praise the Lord. Thank you for this ministry Pastor Finley. May God bless you and the whole cast of hopelive 💕
Too bad he's misguided For the believer in Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us that after death believers’ souls/spirits are taken to heaven, because their sins were forgiven when they received Christ as Savior (John 3:16, 18, 36). For believers, death means being “away from the body and at home with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23). However, passages such as 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 describe believers being resurrected and given glorified bodies. If believers go to be with Christ immediately after death, what is the purpose of this resurrection? It seems that, while the souls/spirits of believers go to be with Christ immediately at death, the physical body remains in the grave “sleeping.” At the resurrection of believers, the physical body is resurrected, glorified, and reunited with the soul/spirit. This reunited and glorified body-soul-spirit will be the state of existence for believers for eternity in the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21-22). Second, for those who do not receive Jesus Christ as Savior, death means everlasting punishment. However, similar to the destiny of believers, it seems that unbelievers also go to a temporary holding place to await their final resurrection, judgment, and eternal destiny. Luke 16:22-23 describes a rich man being tormented immediately after death. Revelation 20:11-15 describes all the unbelieving dead being resurrected, judged at the great white throne, and cast into the lake of fire. Unbelievers, then, are not sent to hell (the lake of fire) immediately after death, but they are rather sent to a temporary realm of judgment and anguish. The rich man cried out, “I am in agony in this fire” (Luke 16:24). After death, a person resides in either a place of comfort or in a place of torment. These realms act as a temporary “heaven” and a temporary “hell” until the resurrection. At that point, the soul is reunited with the body, but no one’s eternal destiny will change. The first resurrection is for the “blessed and holy” (Revelation 20:6)-everyone who is in Christ-and those who are part of the first resurrection will enter the millennial kingdom and, ultimately, the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21:1). The other resurrection happens after Christ’s millennial kingdom, and it involves a judgment on the wicked and unbelieving “according to what they had done” (Revelation 20:13). These, whose names are not in the book of life, will be sent to the lake of fire to experience the “second death” (Revelation 20:14-15). The new earth and the lake of fire-these two destinations are final and eternal. People go to one or the other, based entirely on whether they have trusted Jesus Christ for salvation (Matthew 25:46; John 3:36).
Thank you Pastor for reminding us of where our thoughts must be - heavenward. I pray that you will be continue to be strengthened by God as you share the wonderful gospel of Jesus. I pray we will be faithful til the end.

Happy Sabbath Pastor Finely! Great message as always. I believe that many Christians need to read the bible more to research what others say. God Bless.
I think these are mysteries that Christians don't need to insist who is right or who is wrong. With today's understanding of space and time, I think it is meaningless to argue whether one will go “immediately” to heaven after he has died. It is enough for me to know that Jesus will have the best arrangement for me.
Happy sabbath! This is such a beautiful message I’ve heard a lot of it before but this is so refreshing to hear again ❤️ thank you Pastor Finley! God bless you and your family!
I have believed for 42 years, since becoming a question at age 12, that people that are not saved will burn in Hell for eternity, until I recently started questioning this because it simply didn't make sense to me anymore.
The rich man died and lift up his eyes being in torment. Lazaras the beggar died and was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom. To be absent from the body is to be present with Lord.
Is Abraham's bosom a literal place? The answer is No. Then... this is a story. It's meant to relay something to the hearer's. You can find the meaning in the book, Christ's Object Lesson's online. It is free to read. This particular lesson is in Chapter 21.
Happy Sabbath, thank you Pastor Mark Finley for this message, I can now share this with family, who have a hard time receiving this from me when I share it. I pray that hearing this message again from another source, will help them receive thus truth, and make a decision to follow Jesus, and b3 saved. Kam Alexander
I thank God that Has healed Pr Mark, I prayed for You so that God can heal you to continue with His Work. God bless you Pr. I haven't met you in person but we shall meet in Heaven and I will be glad to followship with Jesus, You and others.
@David Gefrovich u don't want to keep the Sabbath while u r here on earth...and there's no point for u to go to heaven then. Because in heaven according to Isaiah 66: 22, 23 , ..we still keep the Sabbath holy. ..sir If you and me are direct to go to heaven after we died so why there's judgement ? Why there's Millennium according to Revelation in the Bible during that 1000 years time Satan and his bad Angels are left behind here on earth with the dead sinners who not entered heaven during the second coming of Jesus? Logically if a drug addict person now are die without get ride his drug addiction do u think he is happy to go directly to heaven after he died...NO! right, because heaven without sin and no drugs business there..no drugs trafficker..no drugs addiction too. If that drugs addict's want to go to heaven he / she must totally overcome their addiction in the first place and repent from their sin while they are here on earth ( if God probation door r still open). Many sinner thought it's ok to be a sinner and transgress the Ten Commandments of God. Many people said they believe in God.. claimed they love Jesus, but to obeyed the Ten Commandments of God they don't want ..not only that they try to ' be like God' and make their own law . Well another meaning of the word SOUL is BREATH. We sinners owe God for our breath. Too much teaching from the paganism idol worshippers can harm some Christian way of thinking 🤔🤔
@David Gefrovich yes only sinners repented from their sin forgiven by God , can go to heaven. Sorry sir God didn't give us another option. Either go to Heaven or go to Hell...the choice in our hand.
@David Gefrovich just call me Miss Give me my water...not sir . good question sir ...yes sir yesterday and the day before my sin are already forgiven by God...but just..right now I just commit new sin @ I judge u for being stupid. But I already told God about it and ask God to forgive me 🙏🏻🙏🏻💪🏻💪🏻 But tomorrow ..if I happened to meet new stupid people I promised God I won't be angry with them . So if u r still here tomorrow I will love u as a precious soul for Jesus Kingdom...and before God Probation door closed forever take a great lesson from the high priest in the most holy place in the Sanctuary during the day of atonement. U see people ..yes we as a sinner keep falling in sin , and the difference between sinners who knows God and the unbelievers is Godly people knows how to humble themselves and come to God for sin forgiveness and repented...u also know that right now Jesus Christ is in the Most Holy Place of d heavenly Sanctuary judging us and with Him is a Book of Life and Death..so make sure if today u commit sin against the Lord ..u are aware of it and ask God to forgive u..and don't repeat the same mistake/ sin again. I know Satan plant a strong seed of guilty in sinners heart to blind their heart from God's truth of forgiveness.
I really don’t care what heaven will look like. I know that l will be there and Jesus will be there that’s enough for me. He died on the cross for the sin of the world! I repented and changed direction and that was the greatest day of my life!
Amen x a beautiful message and a blessing you are to us Pastor Mark x thank you so much and I hope your pain is subsiding x much love and God Bless from the UK xx
Happy Sabbath it was Glory be to God, please Saints also pray for us we fighting with drug addictions 😭😭😭 trough prayer God 🙏 shall help I believe 😭,how I would love to see the facee of Jesus,🤗
@@liat3593 get your kvj Bible out and read what Jesus said to the thief on the cross he said I promise you this day you will be in paradise. When Steven was being stoned to death he said father in your hands I commend my spirit! If the spirit sleeps than why would the spirit go to God and not stay in the body during death?
@@liat3593 in Jude 14 Enoch prophesied Jesus returning with tens of thousands of his saints how is the saints returning with Christ if they're not with Christ? Remember when God opened the earth and all who rebellion against Moses were swallowed into hell alive? This is why you use a kjv Bible! What about what Paul said to die is to be present with the Lord? The fact that we die and are immediately sent to heaven or hell is everywhere in the Bible people just pick and choose versus I've had people tell me there's no hell in the Bible well there's over 250 versus on hell alone so people will believe whatever they want to
It's great to see you preaching again with GOD'S BIBLE VERSE'S THAT DEFINITELY SPEAK THE TRUTH ABOUT THE STATE OF DEAD, IT'S GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT GUIDING US ALL WHO BELIEVE GOD'S WORD AND SPREAD HIS AWESOME LOVE, MERCY, SALVATION AND AMAZING GRACE!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR JESUS SECOND COMING AND THE FANTASTIC RESURRECTION DAY TO SEE OUR LOVED ONES WHO DIED IN CHRIST RESURRECT AND GO HEAVENBOUND, GLORY, GLORY BE TO GOD ALMIGHTY LOVE 💞🙏🥰🙏🔥🕊️💒🌈❤️🙏
This was beautifully put and glorious explanation, and very inspiring and exciting and for us to put our hope on and look forward to. Can’t wait till we see our KING 🤴 of Kings and LORD of Lord’s and kneel at the present of our Heavenly Father. My heart’s desire is longing to see my Savior face to face and have him tell that I am loved y the most wonderful King 🤴 and that there was a reason why everyone left me alone to go and make their lives. But I have the most precious and greatest gift 🎁 of all the King 🤴 of kings never leaves me nor forsakes me. I Love ❤️ You I tell You every day and I bow to You and prostrate before My Messiah . Love always Me see You in our secret 🤫 place.🌹
I disagree with the first point - the OT scriptures referred to the OT set-up of paradise. To the Jews, there was Sheol (the grave, and also what comes after death). There were two sections of that place - hell, and paradise. Paradise was for the Godly Jews, such as David and Moses. It was also referred to as "the bosum of Abraham." This is clearly shown in Jesus' story of Lazerus and the Rich Man. When Jesus died, He went to paradise, preached to the OT saints, and took either just those souls, or the whole shebang, to Heaven. Paul said that to be separate from the body was to be with Christ. The "sleep" that scripture refers to speaks of the body, not the spirit. Jesus resurrects the bodies of those saints who's spirits are with Him, and rejoins body and spirit in a new, perfected body. But between death and resurrection, we are with God in a spiritual plane - which is completely solid and substantial. In this physical realm, the physical is real, and the spiritual seems ethereal. But in a spiritual realm, the spiritual would be real and the physical would be ethereal.
@@akbarchuttugulla6054 Yes, heaven and hell are real places. Right now, we cannot see it, but the truth is, that spiritual place is MUCH more real, solid and substantial than this physical world.
With due respect, I think these are mysteries that Christians don't need to insist who is right or who is wrong. With today's understanding of space and time, I think it is meaningless to argue whether one will go “immediately” to heaven after he has died. It is enough for me to know that Jesus will have the best arrangement for me.
These ARE NOT mysteries dear...the Bible is clear. We rest...not go directly to heaven. I am so sorry that this is uncomfortable to you but God's word is true.
@@tamekawhitaker8459 I think the point is what some think is clear is not so for others, even among the faithful elite scholars. Anyway, I would not have any issues if you believe so. For example, do you think you really know what “immediately” mean? Do you know that Einstein's relativity has clarified that even “simultaneously” is a relative concept - to one two events that happen simultaneously could actually be quite apart in time from another observer's point of view. If we don't even know whether the structure of time will be the same after we die, I would not insist that one point of view must be right.
Patrick I admire the humility in your reply. I agree with you. As I also agree when people don't go directly to heaven they are asleep, however since they are dead/asleep an no nothing when they wake to Christ coming it will be immediately for them. They will have no knowledge if 10 or 1000 years have passed. They will know they went to sleep and immediately when they work Christ was here.
@@patrickng8974 Just off the topic of space and time what is important though, Patrick, is to know that the "dead know not anything". We should then not believe that dead friends or relatives communicate with people who are alive. This is a popular myth, even among Christians.
@@marcelpratt5693 Yes, I believe that the dead cannot communicate with those alive as Jesus has plainly illustrated in the story of Lazarus and the rich man. But some scholars also believe that this story has also pointed out that the dead do not know nothing although they cannot communicate with those alive. Again, while I agree that the dead cannot communicate with those alive, I would not insist that the dead knows nothing.
🙏❤️🌈Thank You, Thank you & Thank You Pastor Finley for preaching the state of the dead!!! You are Awesome, I appreciate you reaching out to everyone who is willing to hear the Bible Truth, Amen, Thank GOD ALMIGHTY LOVE 💞🙏🔥🕊️💒💯🌈🙏🥰👍
Dear Pastor Mark, my beloved daughter, now at rest in Jesus, and I, once met you and your lovely wife Teeny, at a Seminar. You have always preached Bible truth, in all its clarity and grace. What a glorious picture we have of Heaven, our forever home in the Bible! 🙏🏼❤️
What about this passage (Luke 16:19-25 ESV)? The rich man goes to hell vs. Lazarus goes to heaven? Isn't written in (Ecclesiastes 12:7) “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it”. Can you please explain?
Exactly! This pastor says the dead sleep but he doesn’t explain how the body is dead but the spirit is still alive...so where does the spirit go when it leaves the body? It is the spirit that gives life to the body. So many scriptures that dispute his view of death!!
Exactly I was waiting for him to say the body sleeps but the spirit lives on so where's the spirit go absent from the body present with the Lord so the spirit goes automatically to heaven why doesn't he say that he's been a preacher for many years he should know
@@joanhentschel6220 The spirit that goes back to God who gave it is the breath of life. We are made of body and breath of life, when the two are separated we "are" no more until the two are reunited again at the resurrection. After we die, because we are "asleep" and "know nothing", our next conscious thought is the resurrection, that's why "we are absent from the body and present with the Lord". We will not know of the passing of time while we are dead.
When Jesus came to Martha, Lazarus had been death for three days. Jesus refer to death as sleeping and not immediately ascending to heaven. If Lazarus had went to heaven and being there for three days, Jesus would have said, "Lazarus come down from heaven" But Jesus called out Lazarus from the tomb to come out. Lazarus wouldn't be happy if he was brought back from heaven. He would have stories to share had he seen heaven after his death on earth. Jesus promise that He will come and take us to Heaven to a place where He is preparing. This promise will be meaningless if all the righteous death immediately ascend to heaven. And there will be no need for Jesus second coming with all the Angels where He promise all the righteous death will arise from their grave and they will meet Him in the clouds. To the thief on the cross, Jesus said, "today, I tell you that you will be with me in paradise." Jesus said, you will be (future tense). Jesus told him that day(the day Christ was crucified) that the thief on the cross will be with Jesus in heaven. A promise made for the future. In the second coming of Jesus Christ the thief on the cross will arise with all the righteous deaths from their grave and meet with Jesus in the clouds.
🙏, Glory to ABBA father, we Pray we all be with our lord our God, we plead & surrender, submit & anchor our lives to Jesus christ, the only Way , truth & life leading to our father, John 14 : 6, our EVERYTHING, OUR ETERNAL HOME FOREVER. LORD we ask & pray to lead us this final journey with Jesus, through the Holy spirit. Accept us & lead us on our final journey to our final destination, yourself lord, = our love ,our creator in your Precious Presence ( John 14 : 1- 4 ) forever...... God bless you & your family, Pastor Mark Findley , God lead you to lead all souls & multiply your ministry , God give you all Revelation by the Holy spirit untill the Day of the lord ( phlippians 1 : 6 )🙏🙏🙏
Are they not representative of those who will not see death (Elijah and even Enoch) and the resurrected (Moses)? God decided that Enoch and Elijah would not see death and He buried Moses... The Bible states that some will be alive at Jesus' Second Coming...
Thank you and I'll add the scriptures to your comment. Elijah didn't see death but was taken to heaven in a chariot of fire - 2 Kings 2:1-11 . Moses died , see Deut 34:5-7 but he was resurrected Jude 1: 9 that's why both Elijah and Moses were present at the transfiguration Luke 9:29. God bless

Too bad he's misguided
For the believer in Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us that after death believers’ souls/spirits are taken to heaven, because their sins were forgiven when they received Christ as Savior (John 3:16, 18, 36). For believers, death means being “away from the body and at home with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23). However, passages such as 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 describe believers being resurrected and given glorified bodies. If believers go to be with Christ immediately after death, what is the purpose of this resurrection? It seems that, while the souls/spirits of believers go to be with Christ immediately at death, the physical body remains in the grave “sleeping.” At the resurrection of believers, the physical body is resurrected, glorified, and reunited with the soul/spirit. This reunited and glorified body-soul-spirit will be the state of existence for believers for eternity in the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21-22).
Second, for those who do not receive Jesus Christ as Savior, death means everlasting punishment. However, similar to the destiny of believers, it seems that unbelievers also go to a temporary holding place to await their final resurrection, judgment, and eternal destiny. Luke 16:22-23 describes a rich man being tormented immediately after death. Revelation 20:11-15 describes all the unbelieving dead being resurrected, judged at the great white throne, and cast into the lake of fire. Unbelievers, then, are not sent to hell (the lake of fire) immediately after death, but they are rather sent to a temporary realm of judgment and anguish.

After death, a person resides in either a place of comfort or in a place of torment. These realms act as a temporary “heaven” and a temporary “hell” until the resurrection. At that point, the soul is reunited with the body, but no one’s eternal destiny will change. The first resurrection is for the “blessed and holy” (Revelation 20:6)-everyone who is in Christ-and those who are part of the first resurrection will enter the millennial kingdom and, ultimately, the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21:1).

These, whose names are not in the book of life, will be sent to the lake of fire to experience the “second death” (Revelation 20:14-15). The new earth and the lake of fire-these two destinations are final and eternal. People go to one or the other, based entirely on whether they have trusted Jesus Christ for salvation (Matthew 25:46; John 3:36).

Thank you pastor through u sermon our goal is more clear
I believe we go straight to heaven, apostle Paul said he rather stay for the work of God , rather then go to heaven right away.
sorry sir ..u misunderstood that verse.
@David Gefrovich u don't want to keep the Sabbath while u r here on earth...and there's no point for u to go to heaven then. Because in heaven according to Isaiah 66: 22, 23 , ..we still keep the Sabbath holy.
..sir If you and me are direct to go to heaven after we died so why there's judgement ? Why there's Millennium according to Revelation in the Bible during that 1000 years time Satan and his bad Angels are left behind here on earth with the dead sinners who not entered heaven during the second coming of Jesus?
Logically if a drug addict person now are die without get ride his drug addiction do u think he is happy to go directly to heaven after he died...NO! right, because heaven without sin and no drugs business there..no drugs trafficker..no drugs addiction too. If that drugs addict's want to go to heaven he / she must totally overcome their addiction in the first place and repent from their sin while they are here on earth ( if God probation door r still open). Many sinner thought it's ok to be a sinner and transgress the Ten Commandments of God. Many people said they believe in God.. claimed they love Jesus, but to obeyed the Ten Commandments of God they don't want ..not only that they try to ' be like God' and make their own law .
Well another meaning of the word SOUL is BREATH. We sinners owe God for our breath.
Too much teaching from the paganism idol worshippers can harm some Christian way of thinking 🤔🤔
What is the purpose of Jesus's second coming if we go strait to heaven or hell after death?
@David Gefrovich yes only sinners repented from their sin forgiven by God , can go to heaven. Sorry sir God didn't give us another option. Either go to Heaven or go to Hell...the choice in our hand.
@David Gefrovich just call me Miss Give me my water...not sir .
good question sir ...yes sir yesterday and the day before my sin are already forgiven by God...but just..right now I just commit new sin @ I judge u for being stupid. But I already told God about it and ask God to forgive me 🙏🏻🙏🏻💪🏻💪🏻
But tomorrow ..if I happened to meet new stupid people I promised God I won't be angry with them . So if u r still here tomorrow I will love u as a precious soul for Jesus Kingdom...and before God Probation door closed forever take a great lesson from the high priest in the most holy place in the Sanctuary during the day of atonement.
U see people ..yes we as a sinner keep falling in sin , and the difference between sinners who knows God and the unbelievers is Godly people knows how to humble themselves and come to God for sin forgiveness and repented...u also know that right now Jesus Christ is in the Most Holy Place of d heavenly Sanctuary judging us and with Him is a Book of Life and Death..so make sure if today u commit sin against the Lord ..u are aware of it and ask God to forgive u..and don't repeat the same mistake/ sin again.
I know Satan plant a strong seed of guilty in sinners heart to blind their heart from God's truth of forgiveness.
Happy Sabbath pastor. Heaven will be on earth. This earth will be made new.
We sleeping in the grave with what body? Don't we rot and stink?. The soul goes to God when we die sir
Indeed we are "absent from the body'
The human Spirit transends to the heavenly Realm .
Oh one thing is wye would God put us to sleep for, he can’t wait for us to see Him and hug Him. God is waiting for us to come to heaven..

Happy Sabbath from Dubai UAE 🇦🇪 and Philippines 🇵🇭
Happy Sabbath it was Glory be to God, please Saints also pray for us we fighting with drug addictions 😭😭😭 trough prayer God 🙏 shall help I believe 😭,how I would love to see the facee of Jesus,🤗
The story of Lazerous and the Rich man tells us that the Rich man lifted up his eyes in torment, and Lazerous was in Abraham's Bosom.
Exactly! And Jesus said to the thief on the cross this day you will be with me in paradise. Guess he skipped that part!
@@fightingwithtruth1698 He did not skip it, he adressed it ca.6:50
Lazarus and the Rich man was a parable, nobody goes to Abraham's bosom when they die, where else in the Bible do you read such a thing?
@@liat3593 get your kvj Bible out and read what Jesus said to the thief on the cross he said I promise you this day you will be in paradise. When Steven was being stoned to death he said father in your hands I commend my spirit! If the spirit sleeps than why would the spirit go to God and not stay in the body during death?
@@liat3593 in Jude 14 Enoch prophesied Jesus returning with tens of thousands of his saints how is the saints returning with Christ if they're not with Christ? Remember when God opened the earth and all who rebellion against Moses were swallowed into hell alive? This is why you use a kjv Bible! What about what Paul said to die is to be present with the Lord? The fact that we die and are immediately sent to heaven or hell is everywhere in the Bible people just pick and choose versus I've had people tell me there's no hell in the Bible well there's over 250 versus on hell alone so people will believe whatever they want to
Happy Sabbath to all !!

I CAN'T WAIT FOR JESUS SECOND COMING AND THE FANTASTIC RESURRECTION DAY TO SEE OUR LOVED ONES WHO DIED IN CHRIST RESURRECT AND GO HEAVENBOUND, GLORY, GLORY BE TO GOD ALMIGHTY LOVE 💞🙏🥰🙏🔥🕊️💒🌈❤️🙏
Amen.. it will be amazing place..great hope for believers …Jesus remember my family, friends, me and those who don’t know you yet..
This was beautifully put and glorious explanation, and very inspiring and exciting and for us to put our hope on and look forward to. Can’t wait till we see our KING 🤴 of Kings and LORD of Lord’s and kneel at the present of our Heavenly Father. My heart’s desire is longing to see my Savior face to face and have him tell that I am loved y the most wonderful King 🤴 and that there was a reason why everyone left me alone to go and make their lives. But I have the most precious and greatest gift 🎁 of all the King 🤴 of kings never leaves me nor forsakes me. I Love ❤️ You I tell You every day and I bow to You and prostrate before My Messiah . Love always Me see You in our secret 🤫 place.🌹
Amen. Thanks for watching. May God bless you.
I disagree with the first point - the OT scriptures referred to the OT set-up of paradise. To the Jews, there was Sheol (the grave, and also what comes after death). There were two sections of that place - hell, and paradise. Paradise was for the Godly Jews, such as David and Moses. It was also referred to as "the bosum of Abraham." This is clearly shown in Jesus' story of Lazerus and the Rich Man.
When Jesus died, He went to paradise, preached to the OT saints, and took either just those souls, or the whole shebang, to Heaven.
Paul said that to be separate from the body was to be with Christ. The "sleep" that scripture refers to speaks of the body, not the spirit. Jesus resurrects the bodies of those saints who's spirits are with Him, and rejoins body and spirit in a new, perfected body.
But between death and resurrection, we are with God in a spiritual plane - which is completely solid and substantial. In this physical realm, the physical is real, and the spiritual seems ethereal. But in a spiritual realm, the spiritual would be real and the physical would be ethereal.
Sounds right to me
It is confusing message..Heaven and hell real places according to Bible.Please research the Bibles again.
@@akbarchuttugulla6054 Yes, heaven and hell are real places. Right now, we cannot see it, but the truth is, that spiritual place is MUCH more real, solid and substantial than this physical world.
Wow praise God 👏🏿👏🏿🙃👏🏿🙃👏🏿
With due respect, I think these are mysteries that Christians don't need to insist who is right or who is wrong. With today's understanding of space and time, I think it is meaningless to argue whether one will go “immediately” to heaven after he has died. It is enough for me to know that Jesus will have the best arrangement for me.
These ARE NOT mysteries dear...the Bible is clear. We rest...not go directly to heaven. I am so sorry that this is uncomfortable to you but God's word is true.
@@tamekawhitaker8459 I think the point is what some think is clear is not so for others, even among the faithful elite scholars. Anyway, I would not have any issues if you believe so. For example, do you think you really know what “immediately” mean? Do you know that Einstein's relativity has clarified that even “simultaneously” is a relative concept - to one two events that happen simultaneously could actually be quite apart in time from another observer's point of view. If we don't even know whether the structure of time will be the same after we die, I would not insist that one point of view must be right.
Patrick I admire the humility in your reply. I agree with you. As I also agree when people don't go directly to heaven they are asleep, however since they are dead/asleep an no nothing when they wake to Christ coming it will be immediately for them. They will have no knowledge if 10 or 1000 years have passed. They will know they went to sleep and immediately when they work Christ was here.
@@patrickng8974 Just off the topic of space and time what is important though, Patrick, is to know that the "dead know not anything". We should then not believe that dead friends or relatives communicate with people who are alive. This is a popular myth, even among Christians.
@@marcelpratt5693 Yes, I believe that the dead cannot communicate with those alive as Jesus has plainly illustrated in the story of Lazarus and the rich man. But some scholars also believe that this story has also pointed out that the dead do not know nothing although they cannot communicate with those alive. Again, while I agree that the dead cannot communicate with those alive, I would not insist that the dead knows nothing.
Great just great...Godbless...
That's why we should practice Heaven and Earth now.
This world is not my home, I am just passing through 🙏
Thanks for watching. May God bless you.
Thank you Ps
Amen...Praise and Glorify God
Happy sabbath Pastor Mark.
🙏❤️🌈Thank You, Thank you & Thank You Pastor Finley for preaching the state of the dead!!! You are Awesome, I appreciate you reaching out to everyone who is willing to hear the Bible Truth, Amen, Thank GOD ALMIGHTY LOVE 💞🙏🔥🕊️💒💯🌈🙏🥰👍
Dear Pastor Mark, my beloved daughter, now at rest in Jesus, and I, once met you and your lovely wife Teeny, at a Seminar. You have always preached Bible truth, in all its clarity and grace. What a glorious picture we have of Heaven, our forever home in the Bible! 🙏🏼❤️
Heaven will be magnificent
What about this passage (Luke 16:19-25 ESV)? The rich man goes to hell vs. Lazarus goes to heaven? Isn't written in (Ecclesiastes 12:7) “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it”. Can you please explain?
Exactly! This pastor says the dead sleep but he doesn’t explain how the body is dead but the spirit is still alive...so where does the spirit go when it leaves the body? It is the spirit that gives life to the body. So many scriptures that dispute his view of death!!
The spirit is the breath of life. We are made of body and breath. When the two are separated, there is no more life.
Exactly I was waiting for him to say the body sleeps but the spirit lives on so where's the spirit go absent from the body present with the Lord so the spirit goes automatically to heaven why doesn't he say that he's been a preacher for many years he should know
@@joanhentschel6220 The spirit that goes back to God who gave it is the breath of life. We are made of body and breath of life, when the two are separated we "are" no more until the two are reunited again at the resurrection. After we die, because we are "asleep" and "know nothing", our next conscious thought is the resurrection, that's why "we are absent from the body and present with the Lord". We will not know of the passing of time while we are dead.

Happy Sabbath from Philippines🙏

What joy in heaven to also ask the Ethiopian of the wonderful baptismal experience by apostle Philip after he miraculously appeared to him on a road
What’s about the rich man and Lazarus?, and the thief on the cross? I believe there are exceptions..,either we believe man or Jesus’s words.
When Jesus came to Martha, Lazarus had been death for three days. Jesus refer to death as sleeping and not immediately ascending to heaven. If Lazarus had went to heaven and being there for three days, Jesus would have said, "Lazarus come down from heaven" But Jesus called out Lazarus from the tomb to come out. Lazarus wouldn't be happy if he was brought back from heaven. He would have stories to share had he seen heaven after his death on earth. Jesus promise that He will come and take us to Heaven to a place where He is preparing. This promise will be meaningless if all the righteous death immediately ascend to heaven. And there will be no need for Jesus second coming with all the Angels where He promise all the righteous death will arise from their grave and they will meet Him in the clouds.
To the thief on the cross, Jesus said, "today, I tell you that you will be with me in paradise." Jesus said, you will be (future tense). Jesus told him that day(the day Christ was crucified) that the thief on the cross will be with Jesus in heaven. A promise made for the future. In the second coming of Jesus Christ the thief on the cross will arise with all the righteous deaths from their grave and meet with Jesus in the clouds.
Thank you Pastor 🙏🏻. Any explanation of how the firmament works ?
Powerful 🙏🏾

Such a wonderful and touching sermon. Happy Sabbath 🙏🙏
Based on number one; how did Jesus meet with Moses and Elijah on the mountain?
Are they not representative of those who will not see death (Elijah and even Enoch) and the resurrected (Moses)? God decided that Enoch and Elijah would not see death and He buried Moses...
The Bible states that some will be alive at Jesus' Second Coming...
Thank you and I'll add the scriptures to your comment. Elijah didn't see death but was taken to heaven in a chariot of fire - 2 Kings 2:1-11 . Moses died , see Deut 34:5-7 but he was resurrected Jude 1: 9 that's why both Elijah and Moses were present at the transfiguration Luke 9:29. God bless
@@KayJayKe moose died before they got to the promised land. You must be joking.
@@FKYT Its a typo . They meant Moses.
