What Happens After You Die #death #shorts #Hell Luke 16:19-31, Lazarus and the Rich Man

What Happens after you die? Its the most important question you can ask yourself. Every group has an opinion including Atheists, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus and more. Jesus clearly spoke on what happens after you die in Luke Chapter 16:19-31. Jesus is not telling a parable but an actual event that took place in time. The scene involves 3 individuals, Abraham, Lazarus the Beggar and a certain "Rich Man".

The RIch Man and Lazarus both die, but continue living beyond the death of their physical bodies. The Beggar goes to a place known as "Abraham's Bosom" or Paradise, while the Rich Man goes into Hell. In Hell the Rich man is in torments and has a conversation with Abraham whom he can see beyond the cliffs of Hell, Abraham informs the "Wealthy Man" there is fixed separation between Abraham's Bosom and Hell.

Abraham's Bosom is where people went prior to the death of the Messiah (Christ), Jesus redeemed those in Abraham's Bosom, they are now in Heaven. This was taking place before the death of Christ paid for sin.

The wealthy man then asks, If Abraham can send Lazarus, the dead beggar, to warn his 5 brothers, so they don't go to Hell. Abraham's response was that they had the Bible, the words of Moses and the Prophets are more powerful than anybody rising from the dead to warn his brothers.

This is an important story because its real, Jesus is telling you exactly what happens after death. This is the reality of death. Abraham was there, the wealthy man was there and Lazarus was there. They had full consciousness and awareness of the their existence, as well as awareness of the life before death. Only in this life can we impact where we spend eternity.

Luke 16:19-31
(19) There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
(20) And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
(21) And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
(22) And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
(23) And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
(24) And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
(25) But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
(26) And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
(27) Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
(28) For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
(29) Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
(30) And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
(31) And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
