Soul's Destination After Death
- The soul departs earth after death, going to another realm, not staying on Earth.
- This realm, Sheol in the Old Testament, is differentiated in the New Testament into Hades and Paradise.
Intermediate State of Souls
- The souls reside in Sheol/Hades or Paradise until Judgment Day.
- Believers join Christ after death, awaiting resurrection (2 Corinthians 5:1-10, Philippians 1:21-23).
Time Between Death and Resurrection
- The duration between death and resurrection varies based on the individual's death date.
- Disembodied time may feel quicker for those with Christ, and slower for those separated from Him.
