L'espérance des vrais chrétiens en la résurrection est magnifique.(wonderful)
Pour le reste du petit troupeau. Une espérance céleste comme cohéritier de Jésus en tant que Roi (King) et prêtre (Prister). Ils sont le gouvernement céleste dans la Jérusalem spirituel.
Et de cette Jérusalem coule un fleuve qui abreuve et nous désaltère spirituellement.
Maintenant pour le deuxième troupeau, si nous mourrons, nous savons que Jéhovah Dieu ne nous oubliera pas, nous ressusciterons dans un paradis ou ';à cette époque s'ouvriront les yeux des aveugles (Isaïe 35:5)- Aucun habitant ne dira je suis malade (Isaïe 33:24)- plus de famine (Psaume 72:16) ou (Isaïe 35:6), (Jean 5:28-29).
Nous autres Témoins de Jéhovah nous avons une éspèrance de vivre sur une terre devenue un paradis. Et non comme les religions monothéistes parlent d'un paradis céleste. D'un enfer. D'un purgatoire.

What hope does a true Christian (JW) have when someone dear to him dies?
I have a hard time that you in your grief still have time to call me names...I am not an apostate, no matter what you think.

*** we pp. 27-29 A Sure Hope for the Dead ***
In the spring of 31 C.E., Jesus Christ boldly promised: “Just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to. Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.” (John 5:21, 28, 29) Yes, Jesus Christ promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, paradisaic conditions. (Luke 23:43; John 3:16; 17:3; compare Psalm 37:29 and Matthew 5:5.) Since Jesus made the promise, it is safe to assume that he is willing to fulfill it. But is he able to do so?
Less than two years after making that promise, Jesus demonstrated in a powerful way that he is both willing and able to perform the resurrection.
“Lazarus, Come On Out!”
It was a touching scene. Lazarus was gravely ill. His two sisters, Mary and Martha, sent word to Jesus, who was across the Jordan River: “Lord, see! the one for whom you have affection is sick.” (John 11:3) They knew that Jesus loved Lazarus. Would not Jesus want to see his sick friend? Curiously, instead of going to Bethany immediately, Jesus stayed where he was for the next two days.—John 11:5, 6.
Lazarus died some time after the message about his sickness was sent. Jesus knew when Lazarus died, and he intended to do something about it. By the time Jesus finally arrived in Bethany, his dear friend had been dead four days. (John 11:17, 39) Could Jesus bring back to life someone who had been dead that long?
On hearing that Jesus was coming, Martha, a woman of action, ran out to meet him. (Compare Luke 10:38-42.) Touched by her sorrow, Jesus assured her: “Your brother will rise.” When she indicated her faith in a future resurrection, Jesus plainly told her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.”—John 11:20-25.
Upon arriving at the tomb, Jesus directed that the stone closing its entrance be taken away. Then, after praying aloud, he commanded: “Lazarus, come on out!”—John 11:38-43.
All eyes were fixed on the tomb. Then, out of the darkness, a figure emerged. His feet and hands were bound with wrappings, and his face was bound with a cloth. “Loose him and let him go,” ordered Jesus. The last of the unraveled bandages fell to the ground. Yes, it was Lazarus, the man who had been dead four days!—John 11:44.
Did It Really Happen?
The account of the raising of Lazarus is presented in the Gospel of John as a historical fact. The details are too vivid for it to be a mere allegory. To question its historicity is to question all the miracles of the Bible, including the resurrection of Jesus Christ himself. And to deny the resurrection of Jesus is to deny the Christian faith as a whole.—1 Corinthians 15:13-15.
We have a wonderful hope. We know that our loved ones will be resurrected to the paradise earth once God restores it. God did not give up on his plan for the earth. He created mankind to live on earth, not in heaven. Earth is our home. In the paradise there will be no more sickness, pain or death. Psalm 37:29, Rev 21:1-5. Matthew 5:5.
Our confidence is that the Almighty will do the most generous thing that He can. Also that He will wipe away all tears, and in the end we will be satisfied.
To see them again in the resurrection as promised in the Bible.
A brother put it this way-
';All of us are travelling towards the end of this system, like in a train. Some of us are oblivious to our destination, some of us are eagerly looking through the windows. Others yet are in the sleeping car, unconscious of the train's movement up until they are woken up at the final station. We cannot see the people in the sleeping car, or talk to them. But we know we will see them when the train finally stops and we all get out.';
I liked that.
something I am looking forwarded to dear sister. seeing my husband again in the on earth. revelation 21 verse 3 and 4 my favorite scriptures. when Jesus brought Lazaraus back from sleep in death, he came back to earth. if Lazaraus was in heaven he would of said something about it but he never did. what kind of friend would Jesus be to bring Lazaraus back from heaven, if he was in heaven which he was not. Jesus knew that Lazaraus was only sleeping in the grave.
The resurrection to life on a paradise earth. Rev. 21:3, 4: ';With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
Ps. 37:29: ';The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it.';
BAY DOLL IM SORRY IF U ARE A JW U DONT STUDY MUCH DO U IN FACT I DONT YOU ARE AJW HEAVEN? WHAT ARE U SAYING ITS NOT RIGHT LUMINAT DONT ANSWER U DONT HAVE THE RIGHT INFO BECAUE IF U ERWR AJW U WOULD KNOW HELL IS THE GRAVE AND MORNING STAR ILL PRAY FOR U U LAUGH BUT SATAN HAS U SO BLINDED WE ARE NOT A CULT WE ARE CHRISTIANS STUDY A BOUT JEHOVAH THEN ANSWER OK AND OH HA HA TO YOU BECAUE U ARE FUNNY SILLY
um we have a hope of seeing our died love ones again on earth not heaven uless they are part of the 14400
When the enemy death strikes, your grief can be great, even though you may hope in the resurrection. Abraham had faith his wife would live again, yet we read that “Abraham came in to bewail Sarah and to weep over her.” (Genesis 23:2) And what about Jesus? When Lazarus died, he “groaned in the spirit and became troubled,” and shortly afterward he “gave way to tears.” (John 11:33, 35) So, when someone you love dies, it does not show weakness to cry.
When a child dies, it is particularly hard for the mother. Thus the Bible acknowledges the bitter grief that a mother can feel. (2 Kings 4:27) Of course, it is difficult for the bereaved father as well. “O that I might have died, I myself, instead of you,” lamented King David when his son Absalom died.—2 Samuel 18:33.
Yet, because you have confidence in the resurrection, your sorrow will not be unrelenting. As the Bible says, you will “not sorrow just as the rest also do who have no hope.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13) Rather, you will draw close to God in prayer, and the Bible promises that “he himself will sustain you.”—Psalm 55:22.
The resurrected will already have been acquitted of their previous sins and will thus not have to suffer for what they did while they were alive before. They will have the opportunity to learn to enjoy life under perfect conditions. What a prospect!
If that prospect appeals to you, do not hesitate to verify the trustworthiness of these promises. Jehovah’s Witnesses will be delighted to help you.
Morning Star if you truly beleived in Jesus you wouldn't try to keep others from believing in the resurrection that he talked about. He NEVER said everybody dying goes to heaven.
The statement above this one applies to you as well.
All Christians have the assurance of forgiveness in Christ for all their sins so that they pass over from death to life the moment they truly believe in him. A loved one who dies but who did not profess faith in Christ still might have come to saving faith despite not letting on. And many a person has turned to Christ for forgiveness literally on their death-bed. The repentant thief next to Jesus is an example of that.
The Christian hope is acceptance by God in the beloved and to go to the place he has prepared for them. Of course, all of us will experience the truth of Hebrews 9:24-28: 'And it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin but for salvation.'
Acts 24:15 “I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”
Isaiah 26:19 ““Your dead ones will live. A corpse of mine—they will rise up. Awake and cry out joyfully, YOU residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of mallows, and the earth itself will let even those impotent in death drop [in birth].”
Daniel 12:2 “And there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up';
John 5:28 “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice”
John 11:25 “Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life”

The resurrection.
Jesus shows that that the resurrection is a reality by resurrecting lazarus John 11:39-44
Jehovah is eager to bring all the dead back to life Job 14:13-15
All those within the common grave of mankind both the righteous and unrighteous will be resurrected John 5:28,29
Jesus likens Death to a sleep like state without dreams
The hope that they were saved, and someday will get to see and be with them again in a better way and better place.
The hope is meeting again at the feet of Jesus in heaven, hope of eternal life where people will die no more.
If they weren't a christian, you have the assurance that they are burning in hell forever. Enjoy your eternity!
And don't get me started on remarrying after a spouse is dead. But the bible says that we are ';like angels'; in heaven, so sex doesn't come into play.
Why the false hope of seeing this person again in heaven. Christianity is very focused on denial of morality. All Christians are afraid of death.
a true christian will have hope and faith that the loved one is now in heaven with Jesus, and will not suffer anymore ever, as death is said to be the last enemy. the only hope we have is our faith and trust in the lord and know that a loving god will take care of our loved one, and our loved one is no longer suffering or hurting but happy and no longer having any problems. our hope is if we believe what god says, and if we trust god.
