King James Version
5 For the living know that they shall die:
but the dead know not any thing,
neither have they any more a reward;
for the memory of them is forgotten.
For the longest time, I put off thoughts about death.
But GOD led me to Bible prophecy in September 2019.
Then JESUS alerted me to the RAPTURE in January 2020.
My beloved baby sister dies in my arms in October 2021.
There was no more evading the issue of death.
If not for the GRACE of GOD, I'd have fallen apart.
This blog is for my healing, and for Scripture's revealing.
Here are verses to help us all, in our moments of grief.

Ecclesiastes 3:19-20
King James Version
19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts;

as the one dieth, so dieth the other;

for all is vanity.

I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know,
and the way ye know.

treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath
and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing
seek for glory and honour and immortality,
eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious,
and do not obey the truth,
but obey unrighteousness,
indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish,
upon every soul of man that doeth evil,
of the Jew first,
and also of the Gentile;

to every man that worketh good,
to the Jew first,

will God bring with him.

neither his image,

until the thousand years were finished.

which were written in the books,
according to their works.
