John 11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39 Jesus said, Take you away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinks: for he hath been dead four days.
John 11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. {Not come down}… This leads us to the second confession of a duppy: [2] Persons cannot and do not go to heaven at death and any such teaching, such as purgatory, is entirely false. When persons die and are buried, they remain in their graves until God calls them by His voice…Ecclesiastes 3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast that goes downward to the earth? The Hebrew word Ruach/“spirit” is translated as breath, not some disembodied intelligent entity that floats upward to heaven. Absolutely not. This is certified by the Bible in the statement concerning David, for the word of God states that David is not ascended.
[3] The third confession of a duppy is that they are really the spirits of devils, for dead persons have no knowledge, feelings, hatred and they do not partake of anything that is done in our world. Consulting with wizards about future events, the veneration of dead saints, and seances are just a few of the dark arts stemming from that first big lie that was told in Eden, that you will not surely die.
Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
