WHAT IS YOUR SOUL'S DESTINATION?

WHAT IS YOUR SOUL'S DESTINATION?

"So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried". (Luke 16:22)

The text of Jesus about the rich man and Lazarus reveals truths of the afterlife. We highlight the above verse to focus on the conduction of his soul by angels to Abraham's bosom.

Let us understand better what Jesus said;

Why the Lord Jesus highlights the fact of, after death, the beggar was taken by angels to Abraham's bosom?

First of all, it's clear that the death of the body does not means the death of the soul, the soul remains alive as it was living previously in the body. later on, Abraham says that Lazarus is comforted. Think, how can a dead person be comforted?

Therefore, we understand that life still continues after death;

Secondly, the soul immediately leaves the body after death. The angels of the Lord took Lazarus's soul to Abraham's bosom;

Thirdly, when the soul leaves the body, it does not roams freely like many people think, it would probably contradict the idea of those who were saved having their names written in the book of life, it does makes sense to have your name written in the book of life and your soul after death would roam everywhere in the universe.

It would also contradict the word of God when it says; "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment"… (Hebrews 9:27)

As long as the final judgment does not happens, where would stay the souls of the saved ones, and the lost ones? we will discuss it ahead. But I'm sure about a thing, when the soul leaves it's body it has no freedom to roam wherever it wants, so true that if it could really happen, why the soul of the rich man did not run away from hell?

Before everyone's death, there are angels or demons awaiting for people's soul to be released from their bodies. There is no dispute between angels and demons for that soul, why not? because after death the soul already has it's master, and who is the master of that soul? obviously the one whom the person served in life.

The moment the person dies, the messengers of her master are waiting to take (her) or (his) soul to it's destination.

The dispute for our soul between God and satan occurs only during our life time, as long as we live in this world there is a battle, by one side, the Lord Jesus and His servants fighting to save us through His words of truth, by the other side, satan and his angels trying to take to hell.

Each one of us have the right to choose who is going to be our master, whether it is God or satan, it only depends of you choice, and if you say neither of them, surely satan will be the one.

Therefore after death nothing can be done for our soul. Say a prayer, sacrifices, mass in the church, it won't change the destination of our soul.

Check out in the bible that Lazarus's souls was taken. It wasn't roaming alone to Abraham's bosom. How about the soul of the rich man "The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades…" (Luke 16:23).

What happened to the soul of the rich man after his death? Did his soul roam to hell? off course not!

The same way Lazarus was taken to Abraham's bosom by God's angels, the rich man was taken by satan's angels to hell. The master of lazarus's soul (God) took care of his soul taking it to his dwelling place (Heaven) for all the eternity, while the rich man's master also took care of him taking his soul to Hades, which is (Hell).

God Bless You All.
