E. What Else Does The Bible Call Death?
Psalms 30: 3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Psalms 88: 11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Psalms 115: 17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.
Daniel 12: 13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
Job 3: 13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
Revelation 14: 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Job 17: 13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
Isaiah 26: 20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
F. Does The Intelligent, Thinking Part Of Man Live Somewhere Else After Death?
Ecclesiastes 9: 5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Psalms 146: 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Isaiah 26: 14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

John 11: 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
NOTE: Notice that Christ said, “come forth” not “come down” or “come up.” Lazarus had no story to tell of his experience in heaven because he was asleep in the tomb.
John 5: 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
Psalms 88: 10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Ecclesiastes 9: 5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
2. Are The Dead Aware Of Anything On This Earth?
Ecclesiastes 9: 5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Job 14: 21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
Job 7: 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
Ecclesiastes 3: 22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
Psalms 146: 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Isaiah 26: 14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Psalms 88: 12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Psalms 78: 39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
3. Are The Dead Aware Of Anything In Hell?
Job 3: 17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
Psalms 13: 3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
2 Peter 2: 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
Job 21: 29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,
30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
Matthew 25: 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
2 Timothy: 1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
John 12: 8 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
NOTE: If the wicked are suffering in hell fire, right now, would they not be troubled? Job 3:17 says, they cease from troubling. This is because they are asleep in their graves being reserved for the day of judgment and then hell fire. It would not make sense for the wicked to start serving their sentence in hell before they are judged.
