Actually Death is like the Day before Graduation day......Judgment day is the Graduation

No, there's not an Earthly equivelant. It's release; it's freedom from all the BS that we live with- freedom from sorrow, hatred, disgust, annoyances....within ourselves, as well as within other people.
Christians are just heathens that find their place in the world; that no longer have to ask "What's the meaning of life" or "Why am I so alone?". It changes us, sure, but we all still have bad habits to overcome.
And with so many not-quite-Christians out there, we get a bad rep. Ever see a true Christian on TV?
Nope: Quakers who kill people, Catholics-who-aren't-saved, going to church out of habit, seeking answers from Mother Mary, but not Christians. It's one or the other of these two, and never a pretty picture.
I suspect it's why Firefly was cancelled, to be honest; it was getting too close to being Christian. Still a ways off, but future episodes could go anywhere. (Sorry, rambling...)

No, because dying doesn't prove we did anything right whereas a graduation is like a pat on the back for getting passing grades in school.
Death, for me as a Christian, signals the end of my chances to make something out of this life on earth and the beginning of the rest of my life with God.
That's one reason why I don't *wish* to die soon even though I want to be in the eternal state- I want to take more advantage of this life and try to make a difference in this world of suffering and pain.

well when they die they don't go to heaven. Technically it's when the Judgement Day takes places that Christians proceed to heaven. First the dead, then the living. So opposing what tv shows say, chrisitians won't go to heaven right after they die. Aka graduation day would be on Judgement Day

Not even close! On my Graduation day all I got was a cake. I didn't receive eternal life, a mansion, a perfect body, angeles serving me or get to be in God's presence.

More like a day of reckoning. It's when you get to find out, basically, if everything you've believed in all your life is true or not. I guess you get to find out how well, or how not so well, you lived your life too. A lot more scary than graduation if you ask me.

Death's just like a term when you have finished your study but you haven't graduated yet..
And Te Judgement Day will be the "graduation day"..
And this will be a special graduation day,coz people who haven't finished his/her study will be graduated too..
Does my analogy correct?

that is one way to put it...but it's so much better than that...When God calls a Christian home it is far better than any Graduation and I don't think words could describe what it will be like.

No it's sort of like getting to an eternal summer break.

I have heard that idea expressed before. It makes sense, to say that we are graduating from mortality.
