Section A For Believers
At the moment of death the souls or personalities of those who have trusted Christ go immediately into His presence. Their bodies will be raised after the pattern of Christ’s resurrection body, and their personalities will forever be joined to them. They shall live forever in the glories of Heaven – the greatest glory being to enjoy the presence of Christ forever (Lk. 23:43; 2 Cor. 5:8; Phil. 1:23; 1 Jn. 3:2; 1 Thess. 4:14-18; Jn. 14:1-3, 17:24).
Section B For Unbelievers
At the moment of death their bodies go into the grave and their personalities go into a place of conscious torment. At the resurrection of the wicked, their bodies and souls shall be reunited to stand before God in judgment. Though they will be judged for their sins, the real issue is what they did with God’s Son. Those who did not trust Him as their Savior will forever be separated from God under His wrath in the Lake of Fire (Jn. 3:16-18, 36, 15:6; Rev. 20:10-15).
Section C The Return of Christ
This will take place in two phases. First, He will come for his own (1 Thess. 4:16-17). This will then be followed by a period of anguish on the earth called the Tribulation period (Mt. 24:21). Then Christ will come in power and glory to set up His visible kingdom on earth for one thousand years (Mt. 24:29,31; Rev. 19:11-20:6). After this He will put away all evil beings forever (Rev. 20:7-15) and present to His Father a perfect and holy universe forever (1 Cor. 15:24-28; Rev. 21:1-22:5).
