Are the Dead Unconscious?

[Loonypics]

Hi Alan, Something bothers me, I've known athetsts that without realizing it have lived as yahshua requires, qtn what happens to them ?

[WatchAlan]

@Loonypics No one is saved by their own works. Living as "Yahshua requires them" gets no one anywhere ... but eternity in Sheol.

One can be the "best person on earth" ... but if they reject YHWH as the Creator of the heavens and the earth, they get what they want; total separation from Him for all eternity, in Sheol.

Many Christians are mislead because we are not told the true Hebrew translation...thank you for clearing things up.

[WatchAlan]

@mcap52 You said it, Brother. It's all about the original language and the original understanding that YHWH intended.

Shalom Alan, thank you for your teachings and for being available for Yahweh's Qodesh Spirit, I just wanted to ask a favor from you: to do a study on the book of Ezequiel to help understand it's meaning and message within, it seams a little confusing to me and I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel this way

[WatchAlan]

@alweezn2sumtin I've had that one on my mind ... most people think it's talking about UFOs, etc. but a good look at the original Hebrew reveals that it's not that at all.

For example, "wheels" are the English given for the Hebrew word, "ophanim" ... and ophanim are a type of angels. It's complicated ... but it's not a spaceship!

[WatchAlan]

@alweezn2sumtin I just uploaded a video about Ezekiel's wheels ... check it out.

Keep up the great work. Love your channel:)

A-men and A-men! A false doctrine indeed. Thank you teacher!

[Jesusismyfocus77]

Thank you. Could you please do one on Hell (Shol) most people say you die go to hell and get tortured by satan and his demons in fire, is this true?

[WatchAlan]

@Jesusismyfocus77 Yes ... it's true. When people pass on, they either go to Sheol (Hell) or to Shamayim (Heaven) ... one or the other.

Those who go to Sheol, are tortured and suffer. Revisit what I read in this video from Luke 16 ... the rich man was tortured, suffering, thirsty and desperate!

[Jesusismyfocus77]

@WatchAlan Thank you Alan. I always wondered about this and I read the bible but was never sure on this, so thank you again.

@WatchAlan

Alan I hate to be such a pest, but I do believe that those who have lived on earth and died will be judged, then after judgement they will be dispatched to their final destination. Hell will be the final destination for many.

[WatchAlan]

@eyeswideopenz Absolutely! I agree ... except, those who have lived on earth and died having been true believers in the mighty work of Yahshua, will *not* be judged at all. They will be caught up in the Harpazo and will face the Bema Seat Judgement which is quite a different thing; they will be *rewarded* for the good things done and any sins will be covered by the blood of The Lamb!

[Jennavicia100]

Okay, just to clear things up. The dead are conscious right, well spiritually conscious? I was told many times that the dead has no memory of their family or past life, so if you claim to see them ( as some people think of ghost) that is a trickery of satan, that is demon spirit tricking you because you supposedly believe in ghost or something of that nature. is that in the same category you are talking about? I'm getting a little confused. Thanks.

[WatchAlan]

@Jennavicia100 To say that those who have passed have no memory of their family or past life (friends, patriarchs, etc.) is obviously bogus information because it is not scriptural. Look at the example given in Luke 16:19 ... the rich man (in Sheol) recognized Abraham and Lazarus well enough!

Seeing ghosts is never anything other than demonic activity ... and perhaps those who dwell in Sheol. Those who go to Shamayim, I believe, are having too good a time to be "turning back."

@Alan

I like a lot of your videos. However your look at Ps 115:17 I think is bad. Look at the Hebrew, which you say you do. (Hammetim ) to die. Is not used once in the metaphysical sense but always to denote physical death.

[WatchAlan]

@kaboomgoo Thanks for your clarification.

Just the same ... nowhere in the scriptures does it ever say that anyone who dies is ever unconscious.

[croeagle100]

i love this :)

[eyeswideopenz]

I am not trying to support the notion that the dead unconscious. However the scripture verses in Mathew 17 referring to Moses and Elijah should not be used to support your topic. Elijah went straight to heaven bypassing the grave and as for Moses, scripture teaches in the book of Jude that the body of Moses the the subject of a dispute between Michael and Satan.

[WatchAlan]

@eyeswideopenz I understand. The point was that Elijah was conscious though no longer on earth; I'm aware that he was taken up (raptured) ... and Moses' body is buried in the ground, but again, he is not unconscious and he is in Shamayim.

Matthew 17 supports my topic just fine.

[jacquesleroux]

Thanks Alan! Good teaching as always. Our soul/spirit is never unconscious and it's realm is more real than what we think is real now. Shalom!

[Rapture402602]

Thank's Alan, a very clear explenation.

[eyeswideopenz]

I would suggest that Isaiah 14:15 scripture refers to a future event and would be after judgement.

Hi Alan, just wanted to say... keep up the good work.
