Death, physical, Summary:

(1) Physical death is a consequence of sin (Gen 3:19) and the universality of death proves the universality of sin. (Rom 5:12-14).

(2) Physical death affects the body only, and is neither cessation of life nor of consciousness.

(See Scofield) - (Hab 2:5).

(See Scofield) - (Luk 16:23).

(Rev 6:9); (Rev 6:10).

(3) All physical death ends in the resurrection of the body.

See "Resurrection" (Job 19:25).

(See Scofield) - (Co1 15:52).

(4) Because physical death is a consequence of sin, it is not inevitable to the redeemed. (Gen 5:24); (Co1 15:51); (Co1 15:52); (Th1 4:15-17).

(5) Physical death has for the believer a peculiar qualification. It is called "sleep," because his body may be "awakened" at any moment. (Phi 3:20); (Phi 3:21); (Th1 4:14-18).

(6) The soul and spirit live, independently of the death of the body, which is described as a "tabernacle" (tent), in which the "I" dwells, and which may be put off. (Co2 5:1-8); (Co1 15:42-44); (Pe2 1:13-15).

(7) At the believer's death, he is "clothed upon" with a "house from heaven" pending the resurrection of the "earthly house," and is at once "with the Lord". (Co2 5:1-8); (Phi 1:23); (Luk 23:43).
