With the saturation of news about the corona-virus, one can understand how one could easily develop a fear of dying. But as someone who not only believe in God, but have a personal relationship with God as His servant Elijah, I am not afraid to die. For I believe in life after death from the land of the living, and life again in the resurrection from the land of the dead, when I will stand in the Presence of Almighty God and my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, for all eternity in that world to come.
And if I should be alive when God’s feet touch down upon the holy mount of Olives, to signify the beginning of the last day of the latter days, the great and dreadful day of the Lord, I pray that I will be taken up alive, the way God did with His servant Elijah. For I so want to be in that number with the saints when they go marching into heaven. With those souls that dared to wash their robes (their precious angels that were companions to their souls) in the blood of the Lamb, before they died from the land of the living. Those like the apostles of the Lamb, and me, if my soul should be resting in the land of the dead, a place Jesus called paradise, when God returns.
Of course, when it comes to dying, no one wants to die. Especially a painful death. “But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.” (Luke 20: 35-36, KJV). We are all destined to die at some point in time. For it’s hard to get out of this world alive. Seeing what lies in store for us after we leave this old world, personally, I am…“Not Afraid to Die.”
