This video was already approaching 8 minutes so I didn't want to make it any longer. One thing I would add though is that, currently if a believer dies, he is immediately in the presence of the Lord. We don't know exactly what it looks like but it is before the resurrection at the end so we know it might take the form of a spiritual presence. If you die, you are immediately with Him. That is great hope. But it's not the greatest hope. It's not the end of the story. The final act is when everything will be put back together, including the earth and our bodies (those who've trusted in Jesus), and we will be together with Him in fully restored Shalom.
