“The end is near for us”
Eccl. 11:8 – But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness ; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. KJV

Heb. 9:27 – and as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: KJV

We will all soon exit the land of the living. Many people fear death or are terribly insecure continually while they reside here on the earth.

Job 14:1-2 – 1 Man, that is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble. 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. ASV
Psalms 103:15-16 15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. ASV
SOME FACTS – 2 – Death is Sure…
Hebrews 9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this (cometh) judgment; ASV
CONSIDER THIS:
We all, have an appointment with death some time in the future. Our appointment with death may be many years away, we have no way of knowing when or how our end will come. Since we do not know when or how our end will come we ought to examine the Bible evidence that tells us we will live again.
SOME FACTS – 3 – The Soul Will Survive…
Psalms 49:14-15 14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. 15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
Eccl. 12:6-7 6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. (KJV)
