I believe you will be
Look at the rich man asking Abrahamn to allow Lazerus to dip his finger in water and touch it to his tongue because he was in such torment.
the rich is in hell and Lazerus is in Heaven.
Note that the rich man can see Lazerus and Abrahamn in Heaven. Just think how much worse that will make it by being stuck in hell and seeing what you could have had.

No. Heaven is a place described in Revelation as being prepared for us AFTER judgment day and not before. Anybody saved will most certainly be able to commune with Jesus immediately in their place of rest as illustrated by Jesus on the cross forgiving the theif.

Yes you will be immediately in Heaven. Before the cross believers of the OT did not go to Heaven, because Jesus had not paid the wages for their sins, but after His death all those who had believed in OT times were taken to Heaven, and all those who die in Christ go there directly since the cross.
Ephesians 4:8 Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES,
2 Cor 5:8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
1 Thess 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will BRING WITH HIM those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

Will there be a Rapture? that would desire to be the question. The term Rapture stands for the so-suggested as coming of a millennial reign of Christ on earth. First, the observe Rapture isn't even to be chanced on interior the Bible; neither is the doctrine taught there. "Sound like greater ammunition for the atheists." Secondly, the Lord's return is purely no longer. secretive or silent. Revelation a million:7 states that, "each and every eye shall see him', a million Thessalonians 4:sixteen, says that His coming would be heralded with, "a shout'. with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God". Thirdly, the "tribulation" in many cases suggested is predicated upon an faulty interpretation of Matthew 24. This "tribulation' grew to become into linked with the autumn of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 in accordance to the 1st question the Lord spoke back in Matthew 24:a million-3. That "tribulation" did surely come till now that era surpassed, Matthew 24:34. Fourthly, in accordance to the Bible there is yet one resurrection and which will comprise the two the sturdy and evil., John 5:28-29, states, "all that are interior the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth". Fifthly, based upon the Bible, Christ's Kingdom isn't destiny. It has already been in life for virtually 2000 years and it truly is a spiritual kingdom, no longer an earthly one. Jesus reported it in John 18:36 "My kingdom isn't of this worldwide." Christ promised Peter in Matthew sixteen:18-19-that he would desire to open the doors of the dominion, and this the apostle exercised in Acts 2:38-40 seven. John, the apostle, reported in Revelation a million:9 that he grew to become into "interior the dominion". Now all of those books have been written interior the 1st Century and the dominion grew to become into spoken of as latest then. Mark 9:a million is a passage that actual places the beginning up of the dominion in that era. finally, the belief of 1000 3 hundred and sixty 5 days reign of Christ on earth is a gross distortion of Revelation 20:a million-7. it truly is a surprisingly figurative context interior an exceedingly symbolic e book. The reign considered in Revelation 20 isn't an "earthly" reign of the Lord in any respect. it truly is a spiritual reign with effective saints (Revelation 20:4).

When Jesus returns he judges the quick and the dead.
The First last and the Last first.
Enjoy the wait. (unless of course, you are assumed into heaven like the saints)

The Bible says, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." So, yes, I believe you would see Jesus immediately.

If you have accepted Christ as your saviour and you are in the book of life, Paul says that when Christians die they will be immediately in the heavenly embrace of God.
