Jesus said death was like sleeping.
When we die we are conscious of nothing at all.
The Bible teaches that all these faithful ones will be resurrected out of the grave and this will happen on earth.
The Bible teaches that the earth will be restored back to a beautiful paradise as it was in the beginning with Adam and Eve.
The scriptures are clear that David did not ascend to heaven.
John 3:13 Jesus makes this very clear.

Paradise.
They went into Paradise.
You could not get your Spirit Recreated (Saved) untill Jesus Died on the Cross.
After that, Jesus went into Paradise and they All Accepted Jesus as their Saviour, Got Born-Again and went on up to Planet Heaven.
See, GOD the Father is on Planet Heaven and the Power Flow up Their is Trememdous.
You have to get that Spirit Recreated (Born-Again) to be Able to Handle the Power Flow.
It would Burn Up a Non-Recreated Spirit.
Thats why GOD can't let Anybody go up to Heaven unless they Accept Jesus as their Saviour.
Religions cannot Recreate you.
Jesus is The Only One Who can.

If the Father God in Heaven wants somebody to join Him in Heaven...consider it done.
Most of the human created entity will be subjected to Jesus Christ judgement at the end of the world as has been said by the Father God.
Thus, no human can determine where you go (may it be alive nor any human spirit after death) because that is the sole responsibility of Jesus Christ as the right hand of the Father.
So, it is understood...all the dead`s spirit until the end of the world (second coming of Christ, 2nd judgement) will still be on this physical world lingering in spirit forms may it be in happy or sad situations...only the Gods knows best.
So, while there`s still chances for the alive people to make it good (because it is your choice & free-will previlege to choose your own everlasting status, may it be heaven & hell)... change life for the better, immediately!
God Bless!

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
(New Testament | Luke 23:43)
It is understood by our faith that the word "Paradise" do not mean Heaven where God the Father dwell. Instead, "paradise is a place where the spirit reside after mortal death, and awaits for resurrection.
12 And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow.
13 And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of the wicked, yea, who are evil—for behold, they have no part nor portion of the Spirit of the Lord; for behold, they chose evil works rather than good; therefore the spirit of the devil did enter into them, and take possession of their house—and these shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and this because of their own iniquity, being led captive by the will of the devil.
14 Now this is the state of the souls of the wicked, yea, in darkness, and a state of awful, fearful looking for the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them; thus they remain in this state, as well as the righteous in paradise, until the time of their resurrection.
(Book of Mormon | Alma 40:12 - 14)

They went into the ground - Ashes to Ashes, Dirt to Dirt . . .
No human is in Heaven with the Father and His Son - that is a man-made lie that religous teachers, preachers, priest and ministers preach and teach to their uninformed congregations.
But it is not the truth - everyone dead is dead in the ground and won't be awaken until the Lord comes back to Judge the living and the dead.
God Bless You
