The Bible assures us: “There are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to [God’s] promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell.” (2 Peter 3:13; Isaiah 65:17) Sometimes when the Bible speaks of “the earth,” it means the people who live on the earth. (Genesis 11:1) So the righteous “new earth” is a society of people who receive God’s approval.
Jesus promised that in the coming new world, those approved by God would receive the gift of “everlasting life.” (Mark 10:30) Please open your Bible to John 3:16 and 17:3, and read what Jesus said we must do to receive everlasting life. Now consider from the Bible the blessings that will be enjoyed by those who qualify for that wonderful gift from God in the coming earthly Paradise.
Wickedness, warfare, crime, and violence will be gone. “The wicked one will be no more . . . But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth.” (Psalm 37:10, 11) Peace will exist because ‘God will make wars cease to the ends of the earth.’ (Psalm 46:9; Isaiah 2:4) Then “the righteous one will sprout, and the abundance of peace until the moon is no more”—and that means forever!—Psalm 72:7.
Jehovah’s worshipers will live in security. As long as the Israelites in Bible times obeyed God, they lived in security. (Leviticus 25:18, 19) How wonderful it will be to enjoy similar security in Paradise!—Isaiah 32:18; Micah 4:4.
Food shortages will not exist. “There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth,” sang the psalmist. “On the top of the mountains there will be an overflow.” (Psalm 72:16) Jehovah God will bless his righteous ones, and “the earth itself will certainly give its produce.”—Psalm 67:6.
The whole earth will become a paradise. Lovely new homes and gardens will occupy land that had once been ruined by sinful humans. (Isaiah 65:21-24; Revelation 11:18) As time passes, parts of the earth already subdued will expand until the whole globe is as beautiful and productive as the garden of Eden. And God will never fail to ‘open his hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.’—Psalm 145:16.
There will be peace between humans and animals. Wild and domestic animals will feed together. Even a little child will have nothing to fear from animals that are now dangerous.—Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25.
Sickness will vanish. As Ruler of God’s heavenly Kingdom, Jesus will do healing on a far grander scale than when he was on earth. (Matthew 9:35; Mark 1:40-42; John 5:5-9) Then “no resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”—Isaiah 33:24; 35:5, 6.
Dead loved ones will be restored to life with the prospect of never dying. All those sleeping in death who are in God’s memory will be brought back to life. In fact, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29.

We are afraid because the ministers of false religion are teaching things that are NOT in the Bible.
The real truth is ;
(Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.
For one, there cannot be any such thing as ghosts.
We WILL be resurrected...Revelation 20; 12,13
Not to heaven, but back to the earth...Psalms 37; 9,11,29,34

i comprehend precisely the type you experience. I even have been there, and that i think of roughly this for all time. dying is a frightening theory, isn't it? i've got been so suicidal yet on the comparable time thoroughly frightened of what happens in a while. In Hamlet, he contemplates suicide. it extremely is the "to be or to no longer be" speech. He compares dying and snoozing. He factors out that dying may well be like snoozing and once you die you in basic terms have one long dream. So in a fashion you're nevertheless alive once you die. in basic terms in dream type. He additionally factors out the type you will have nightmares continuously too. it extremely is the equivalent of Hell i assume. i'm no longer religious, so i don't comprehend. If in basic terms dying grow to be like a facebook. ^_^ stay your existence to the fullest because of fact it extremely is to short to be unhappy. Make it final babe. :)

There is no eternal life, only an eternal series of lives.
life after life is the proper term.
we fear separation and seek attachment...when the comforts of attachments are cut, as at death, we must wander into another experience of life. That is the great fear...that we may spend what appears an eternity before we become able to live another life. As with many fears, it too springs from ignorance.

Death is certain, resurrection is a rumor.
every living thing with some nervous system is instinctively afraid of death, it's the sensible thing to do, or you would not mind being eaten.

well first off, that is NOT proof; it's hearsay at best (not even admissible in court).
Second, I'm not afraid of death. I haven't a clue what will happen to me after I die and neither do you. Nothing we do will change the outcome anyway, so why worry about it?
