Foreword

I once read about some old gentlemen discussing the subject of death. After several minutes of each sharing their thoughts about it, one old gentleman said: “If I could know when and where I was going to die, I would never go near that place.” Man’s greatest fear and enemy has been and is death. To many, death is the dreaded end to one’s life on this earth. It strikes fear into the hearts of the strongest and bravest of mankind.

When I was a young child raised in the country there was a popular game we would play called “Hide And Seek.” It is a simple game where there could be as many players as you wanted. One person would be the “seeker” and the others would be the “hiders. The idea was for the hiders to hide in a place where the seeker couldn’t find them after counting to a certain number. If the hiders could elude detection and make it back to the base before the seeker could tag them, they were safe.

Death is not like that because no one can hide and elude death. It is certain and almost always comes at the least expected time. It knows no age limits, social status, or one’s gender.

This book will show out of God’s Word what death and judgment has in store for every human being, both saved and lost. Every child of God’s desire should be to win the lost to Christ. A dear friend of mine, long time missionary Bro. Bob Smith and his team, distributes millions of Gospel Tracts and other types of Gospel materials in South Texas every month. He has this saying: “We are arresting souls on their way to Hell.

My prayer is that this little book will help you to understand what death and judgment is all about and be faithful to be a light to the lost and an encouragement to all believers.

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.

The Reality of Death

The reality of death began with Adam and has continued through six thousand years of human history. Men do not like to think about that dreadful moment when they must face death, but death claims each life. Death does not take into account whether we have been profitable or not to society. Every step that we take brings us nearer to the grave.

The Bible contains many warnings about death, speaking as frequently on this subject as it does about any other. In the Garden Of Eden, where death had never entered, Adam and Eve were instructed by God to refrain from the forbidden fruit with the dire warning:

Genesis 2:17 In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

We know that they ate the forbidden fruit; and at that very moment the judgment of God was passed upon them and their bodies began the process of dying.

Genesis 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

The writers of the Bible did not hesitate to declare that death is certain. Noah preached righteousness and the judgment of God. He warned men that if they would not repent, the Lord would destroy them from the face of the earth.

Genesis 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Men failed to believe Noah’s preaching and as a result God struck the whole earth with a great flood. The Bible states that the waters prevailed for forty days on the earth until every hill was covered.

Genesis 7:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man.

The Bible speaks many times on the subject of death. We cannot read about the life of any Bible character, save Enoch and Elijah, without being reminded that they all died. We admit that death is an unpleasant subject. Yet no man can rule it out of his future. Refusing to talk or to think about death does not alter the fact of death.

There is no escaping death. Try as hard as we can, the rider on the pale horse will pay his visit to each of us. He is blind to all tears and deaf to all prayers and pleadings. He must come to us, for he is sent by appointment. “It is appointed unto men once to die.” It is the judgment of the Almighty, it is by divine appointment. The death-bed, the funeral, the grave, and the broken-hearted tears of the bereaved all tell us that all must face death.

The Cause of Death

God created man a free agent with the will to decide for himself. In his unfallen state in the Garden of Eden, man had never seen anyone die. The first time that the subject of death is mentioned in the Bible is given as a warning to Adam and Eve. There man in his sinless state was enjoying a wonderful fellowship with God:

Genesis 2:16-17

vs. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  vs. 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Adam was a stranger to the subject of death until he heard the warning from the Lord. He had a knowledge of what is right and what is wrong. He knows that to obey God will mean continuous and unending life and to disobey will bring the sentence of death. The right to decide is now left with man. However, Satan would not allow the situation to go unchallenged. Though he tempted Eve he could not force her to eat the fruit. Both she and her husband partook of it by their own choice, and in so doing they brought about the judgment of the Lord. The warning He gave was plain: “In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Being holy and righteous in all of His judgments, God in His righteousness passed the sentence of death. Adam heard what the consequences of his own wrongdoing had brought upon himself:

Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

God never acts in judgment nor does He allow anything to come to pass unless there is a justification for it. So, when He pronounced death upon the human race it was because Adam and Eve had disobeyed God and turned from the truth. Even though the warning of the Lord was plain and easy to understand, man chose to sin, knowing all the while that it meant death. He is appointed to die because he transgressed the Law of God. Man can offer no legitimate reason why the death sentence should not have been passed upon all mankind.

The wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23

The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:4

Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." James 1:15

By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin." Romans 5:12

So then death worketh in us." 2 Corinthians 4:12

For all have sinned." Romans 3:23

Every time that death strikes, it is because of sin and disobedience to God’s warning. Until Satan and all unbelievers are cast into the Lake Of Fire, death will have a grip upon sinners. But how comforting for the child of God to know that death is the doorway to a glorious place to spend eternity with God and all the saints of the ages.
