After my massive heart attack on May 30th I have been thinking a lot about death. While I was experiencing the heart attack I had no fear of death. I really thought that this was it, I was going to die, but I was not afraid. As the paramedics loaded me into the ambulance I said to my wife, "See you on the other side babe, this is it". When I arrived at the operating room they were ready for me. There was a large screen overhead and I could see everything. The large artery that led to my heart was totally collapsed. I could see it all, which only confirmed the fact that I was going to die, but I still was not afraid. I was wide awake, but still a little groggy from the pain medication. To make a long story short, they ran a catheter from my groin area to the collapsed artery and somehow installed a stent to hold the collapsed artery open and saved my life.
There is no conception of time in death. Those that have been dead for thousands of years will be resurrected in the twinkling of an eye, 1 Corinthians 15:52. It will be like they just died because the dead know nothing, Ecclesiastes 9:5. Christians don't really die, they go to sleep, 1 Corinthians 15:51. That sleep will be very short because there is no conception of time in death. It will be like we just died and then there we are face to face with Jesus. Unfortunately, those that have died in their sins will go into the judgment, known as the resurrection of the damned, John 5:29. I am actually looking forward to dying and being with Christ. This old body is tired and worn out. I am looking forward to my new body that will never get sick or die.
There is the popular misconception that people are in heaven looking down on us. no one is in heaven yet, nor is anyone in hell. It would not be heaven if your loved ones could see you suffering here on this corrupt planet. The resurrection has not taken place yet, no one is in heaven nor is anyone in hell. Nothing is going to happen until Jesus returns and then everything is going to happen.
