(My grandfather passed away and I attended his funeral. During the 3 days of his funeral, I thought deeply about death. Then I told the Lord that I felt empty about living in the world. The Lord gave me the word during the funeral and when I was praying overnight.)
Human beings live and die by God’s law and the laws of nature. A life that is born on the Earth will inevitably go through physical death. The death you have seen and heard is low level death, that is, first stage death. People think that physical death is the end of all things. That is why they grieve and mourn, and bitterly regret not having lived a better life. They grieve so much because they do not know about the spirit. A life that is born on the Earth will inevitably go through physical death.
People have to know that death is at the same time, resurrection. It is the process by which you take off the body and are dressed in the perfect spirit. So how happy this is! Death is not something to be afraid of, or to make you feel dark or morose. People are ignorant about death so whether or not they know about death, they fear it.
The moment a physical body stops breathing, the spirit begins a long journey. Just as your physical body and spirit really exist, death is also real. Do not have just a vague understanding of death. Spirits do not accept their death when they die because their idea of death is different, and so they belong at a different level.
Physical death means spiritual resurrection, that is, the final stage in which the body is resurrected into the spirit. That is the very moment when your eternal path of life is decided! How nervous and excited a person would be at that moment! How do you feel when you think of death? (I feel empty and fearful.)
From the physical point of view, death makes the physical body leave the physical world to never return again. It leads the person to an unknown world and that is why they fear it. This is the way people think of death. But, My love, what do you think physical death is from the Almighty’s point of view? Would He feel empty and fearful about it? To Me, physical death is like picking fruit from a tree. Physical death is the moment I judge the life which you lived on Earth, just like checking whether the fruit are blemished or impeccable, weighing each piece of fruit and valuing them. (Lord, I am afraid of death. I am afraid that you will weigh the life I have lived and divide right and left.)
Then you must live according to My words. The opportunity is given to you when your body is alive and breathing. This is the time. Do not regret later that you have missed this opportunity, like a person who lives with regret for the rest of their life because they did not treat the one who died well. The moment I give you the chance is the moment for you to act on My words. (Lord, our nation has many traditional customs and ancestral rites related to death. Can these customs and rites affect the spirits of those who died?)
They are waiting for the train to come when it has already left. Ancestral rites only console the living on earth but they do not benefit the dead. Can the dead come back again and hold a spoon? No they cannot. The rites are not for the dead, but for the living. Do not bow down or kneel to ghosts. Be wise when you are required to bow down to your ancestors. Have you understood? (Lord, after a person dies, the grief of the living is the only thing that remains. It hurts me to see them mourn and wail.)
The reason why they cry so bitterly is that they cannot see the person who died again, and they only remember the times when they treated them badly, rather than remembering the times they treated them well. They are reminded of when they hurt them and so on, and they feel sorry for the dead. Sweep away all such memories you have about your grandfather. Do you remember My word, ‘let the dead bury their own dead’ ? What can you do for people who have stopped breathing? Just pray for them. Pray for them to be in a more peaceful place.
The life and death of a human is the same as meeting a person and saying goodbye to them. It is also like the flesh meeting the spirit, but the flesh leaves and only the spirit remains. Death is the process of meeting the origin of all things and the process of coming close to God. So do not worry and do not be sad.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End. Your physical body was born and will die, and then you will be reborn as another life. A life is born in the flesh and the flesh will soon die. After the physical body dies, a new life begins as the spirit.
This life is more perfect than the physical life and the spirit begins its life more perfectly than the physical body did. Do you understand? My love, let people know that the true meaning of death is ‘rebirth’. Death is not the end, but it is the perfect start of a new life. The spiritual life is decided through the physical life. The physical body is pregnant with the spirit. Do not forget that death is just the start of a new life. Do not be afraid. I love you. I am the Lord who tells you that death is ‘the beginning of new life’.
