Bible Question: Where did the dead go prior to Jesus coming? |
Bible Answer: The dead were in the graves. (1 Kings 2:10) There is no other place for them to go before the judgement which happens at the end of the world (Matt 13:39). This answer is the same for the old as well as the new Testament. (1 Thess 4:16-18) |
