Your Character / NameStrong’s:

an appellation, as a mark or memorial of individuality; by implication honor, authority, character: - + base, [in-] fame [-ous], name (-d), renown, report.

Your:Soul / Character / Being● It’s you.● It’s who you are.● It’s incorporeal, intangible, non-physical

This is where people get confused.Spirit is also incorporeal

Parable of the Talents● Each given a specific amount.● Each expected to give a return.● Returning only what was given is considered

wicked.

Parable of the TalentsConsider Talents = Life given to you to steward

If you return only what wasn’t yours to begin with, you are certainly an unprofitable servant with the Master’s possessions.

Why should you be given anything more later?

Parable of the TalentsUsery might be soul winning to Messiah.

Or maybe it’s the treasures in Heaven Messiah spoke of.

have treasure in heaven.

Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto Elohim who gave it.

Living Soul Breath of Life Dust

WHERE DO WE GO WHEN WE DIE?

YOU ARE THE LIGHT

WHERE DOES THE LIGHT GO?

Poof!As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. Job 7:9

Poof!But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of YHWH shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. Psa 37:20

We all die the same.Ecc 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

PerishWhile I live will I praise YHWH: I will sing praises unto my Elohim while I have any being. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Psa 146:2-4

Psalms 681Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. 2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

Trusting HimJohn 3:16 For YHWH so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The Choice is Between1. Everlasting Life2. Perish / Death

NOT1. Everlasting Life in the Good Place2. Everlasting Life in the Bad Place

What about Adam?Didn’t he die spiritually when he ate of the tree?

DEATH IS FINAL.But there is more….

Death is like sleep1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

Asleep or Conscious?

Sleepa condition of body and mind such as that which typically recurs for several hours every night, in which the nervous system is relatively inactive, the eyes closed, the postural muscles relaxed, and consciousness practically suspended. - Google “define sleep”

Conscious● having knowledge of something; aware.● painfully aware of; sensitive to.● concerned with or worried about a particular

matter.● (of an action or feeling) deliberate and

intentional.● (of the mind or a thought) directly perceptible

to and under the control of the person concerned.

Are the dead conscious?Ecc 9:5-6 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

Are the dead conscious?Ecc 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Are the dead conscious?Psa 88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

Sleep And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be. Job 7:21

Sleep What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? Psa 30:9

Where is his “soul”? What about his spirit? Why don’t they praise Him?

Job 14:10-14But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. [Job 14:10-14]
