"IF AN able-bodied man dies can he live again?" asked the patriarch Job some 3,500 years ago. (Job 14:14) This question has perplexed mankind for millenniums. Throughout the ages, people in every society have pondered this subject and have come up with various theories.
The Bible says: "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear [Jesus'] voice and come out." (John 5:28, 29) Yes, Jesus Christ promised that all those in Jehovah's memory will be resurrected, or brought back to life. Among them will indeed be those who have pursued a righteous course as Jehovah's servants. But millions of other people have died without showing whether they would comply with God's righteous standards. Either they did not know about Jehovah's requirements or they lacked sufficient time to make needed changes. Individuals of this sort are also in God's memory and will be resurrected, for the Bible says: "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."—Acts 24:15.
Today, the earth is filled with hatred and strife, violence and bloodshed, pollution and disease. If the dead were to come back to life on such an earth, surely any resulting happiness would be short-lived. But the Creator has promised that he will soon bring an end to the present world society that is under the control of Satan the Devil. (Proverbs 2:21, 22; Daniel 2:44; 1 John 5:19) A righteous human society—"a new earth"—will then be a wonderful reality.—2 Peter 3:13.
At that time "no resident will say: 'I am sick.'" (Isaiah 33:24) Even the anguish of death will be done away with, for God "will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4) What a prospect this is for those "in the memorial tombs"!
When Jehovah wipes out wickedness from the earth, he will not destroy the righteous along with the wicked. (Psalm 37:10, 11; 145:20) In fact, "a great crowd" of people "out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues" will survive "the great tribulation," which will destroy the present wicked world. (Revelation 7:9-14) Hence, a great multitude will be on hand to welcome back the dead.

You will get many opinions on this question. One thing to be sure of - we will all find out in a very short time. Our life span is tiny. The older you get, the faster the days, months and years tick by. I personally do believe the spirit lives on - forever. We are unique beings and I believe that uniqueness comes through the spirit of the man.

Scripture says no: even though Jesus said "I go to prepare a place for you", that does not mean that place will be somewhere that you will experience as a living entity. It refers to a place of eternal rest!
