Lesson
VI
October 26, 2008
Before we outline our Chart notes
on the doctrine of resurrection, it
is in order, and needful, that we consider the facts regarding death. For
without death there would be no need of resurrection.
I There are three major
aspects of death in Scripture.
Spiritual death
Physical
death
Second Death
All are some form of
separation.
II Spiritual Death
Genesis
2:17 the day
you eat ye shall surely die
Genesis 5:5 yet Adam went on living for 939 years. So the death on that day
must have been spiritual.
Genesis 3:8 the
day they ate, they hid from God, for their sin brought separation
from God. That is
spiritual death
Ephesians 4:18 describes
spiritual death
Ephesians 2:1 ;
Ephesians 2:5; Colossians 2:13 all speak of this death
III Physical death
1
Thessalonians 5:23 a human is made ‘spirit, soul and
body’
Luke 1:46-47 my
soul and my spirit
Hebrews 4:12 soul
and spirit
Acts 7:54-59 Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit
Genesis 35:18 her soul
was in departing
James 2:26 the
body without the spirit is dead
Matthew 10:28 killing
the body does not kill the soul
Therefore,
physical death is the separation of the soul and spirit from the body.
So
we conclude that only the body is placed in the grave.
IV Where do the Spirit and Soul go at the time of physical death?
Before the resurrection of Christ
‘Sheol’ is the Hebrew
word in the Old Testament
‘Hades’ is the Greek
word in the New Testament.
Both are translated “Hell”
in the K.J.V.
Both mean “the place of departed spirits”
When Christ died, He went down into
Luke 23:39-36 today, with me in paradise
Psalm 16:9-10
the prophecy
Acts 2:22-31 the New Testament

V In Luke 16, Jesus reveals some facts about Hades

has two parts with a gulf between
One
part or room for the lost –torments in Hell
The
other for the saved, comfort, paradise
Matthew 16:17-18 This
place has gates- plural
VI When Jesus died, He went to
Ephesians
4:8-9 descended
into the lower parts of the earth
Matthew 12:39-40 in
the heart of the earth
VII Old Testament saints did not go to Heaven
Hebrews 10:4 sacrifices did not take away sins
1 Samuel 28:3,11 Samuel came up, not down
Luke 9:30-31
What
did Moses and Elijah talk about?

2 Corinthians 5:8 home with the Lord
