Going to Heaven When You Die

The beloved comfort of "they're in Heaven now" is almost universally accepted in Christian culture — yet it directly contradicts what Scripture teaches about death, sleep, and the resurrection. Yahuah's plan was never to evacuate souls upward at the moment of death; it was to resurrect the dead on the last day in glorified bodies to dwell on a renewed earth. The resurrection is the believer's true and magnificent hope — quietly swapped out for a departure story Scripture never tells.
