Well! that's what the Bible always said! Nothing before, nothing after but a resurrection after Armageddon! into the beautiful paradise He always has in mind for us all, with no more pain, sorrow, tears, where even death will be done away with. You will have your own house, acre of land, all the natural foods you can desire and will do the things you love to do in exchange for any needs you might have... The only government of Kingdom as it were will be the only we pray for in "The Lord's Prayer" ruled by Jesus, our King from the heavens, so no more need for taxes... even money will be a thing of the past... It will be so different from what it is today that the Bible calls it the new earth! where the abundance of peace will cover the globe and where no one will ever hurt you or your loved ones ever again! No more locks on the doors and no more heavy key chains in our pockets! Can you just imagine??????????????????????????????????
EDIT
About all who think that the soul was giving to us... the Bible says that we are all souls... that Adam became a living soul... that the soul that is sinning, it itself will die and that even animals are souls... Doesn't anyone read the book they claim to know something about and like to talk about??? before they do!!!!

What is death? Just a stage of another life? it is not the end, but rather something else, an entirely different reality. What was before? The same thing, a reality which is different from the current one you experience moment by moment. We cannot know the details behind the before-life and the after-life other then it being a type of life.

You can believe what you like. I understand from reading and studying that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience. You were not dead before you came here and you will not be dead after you leave. Only your body will die.
The spirit that is you, is eternal. It does not die. Like the Law of the universe in Physics that says, Matter can neither be created or destroyed. There is one creator and what he creates, is eternal. What you do with your life, if you live a decent life, you can expect to go to a decent place. If you live an evil life, you can expect to go to an evil place.

Yes, but not on the physical plane we know - it is more of a spiritual nature. Best way I can explain is by example: Plant a seed in a garden, water and feed it, it blooms, do not do anything, it passes on ( death ).- then the cycle begins again. Everything has a soul, like the time old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg- same concept in metaphysics.

Before we were born we were alive and well within our mother's body for 9 months, more or less. Before that we did not exist. The moment of conception is the moment of our individual creation, the moment we came into existence, the first moment of our earthly life.

Before we were born we existed with are father in heaven as spirits. We came to this earth to obtain a body to learn right from wrong. scriptural reference, Jeremiah 1:5 it reads. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest out of the womb I sanctified thee,and ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

We don't know what we were before we were born.
We do know that there is life after death because the bible tells us there is.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (Speaking of Heaven)

No. Death is a state that exists after life, not before it. The time beforehand is not part of the life cycle. Birth is the start, and death is the end. Everything else is unrelated.

I tell you truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." John 3-1
Yes, we where dead before we where born again and Christ helps us to leave his way in salvation and hermony with ourselves and one another.
May God bless you.

Correct... we are not dead before we are born... we are nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. We come into being when the sperm fertilizes the egg.
Later, we return to the nothing state after death.
