what actually happens when you die?

Because I feel like most people, even most Christians, and hey, I'm guilty of this too,

just have a very simple framework in their mind, like, oh, you die, and then you either go to

heaven or you go to hell.

And that's like case close, end of story.

That's it.

But when my husband and I, we really started studying this a few months ago,

and we realized that the Bible describes honestly like a much more detailed timeline than just

you die, you go to heaven, you go to hell sort of thing. And I kind of have gone down this

rabbit hole with this topic and I've been in and out of it ever since,

just reading and studying, looking at the original language and cross-referencing scripture

with scripture and trying to understand. Not what the tradition says or what the culture says

or what movies say, but like what does the Word of God actually teach us about this doctrine? What does it actually say

that happens to a human being when we die? Because according to the Bible, the timeline,

it's more like, okay, you die, yes. But then there's an intermediate state. Then there is a resurrection

followed by a judgment. Then there is the eternal destination. Right. So it's super layered. And if all

of that is true, if that's the true timeline, and I'm going to walk you through scripture by

scripture to tell you why I believe it

is, then that means that death is actually not the end of your story, meaning it's not just as simple

as like, you're dead. Now what? Matter of fact, death in this case is not even the beginning of

eternity the way that we think about it as just like instantaneous.

It's more like the resurrection and judgment is the beginning of eternity.
