7 thoughts on “VIDEO: Why Do Our Church Fathers See Death as a Gift from God?”
I’m just 22 y/o.. is it normal to desire “death” (end of this earthly life) very very much at this young age? I am sick of this dark sin corrupted world… I want to be with Christ forever and I notice that I am feeling greatly impatient, knowing there are so many years I have to live.. This impatience can be so extreme that I sometimes have suicidal thoughts as if you want to end it asap so you will be faster with Christ, of course these thoughts are of you know who, and I immediately repent… I absolutely do not feel “welcome” in this world, there’s not 1 thing that I like, except God and the Church. I despise worldly things. I don’t have very close friends, I prefer to be alone most likely 100% of time. Also at church… and outside of church… not that I don’t love my brothers and sisters and my neighbors, but I feel like I want to focus my mind on Christ pretty much 100% of the time each and every day till I die and I just wanna be left alone…
Glory be to God for all things+ It is true – ORTHODOXY +++ Bodily Death is when our eternal soul – both body and soul will receive FULLNESS in knowing God – as it was meant to be before the fall of Adam and Eve – It is Through His LIFE GIVING BODY AND BLOOD, that we are united to Him – prophesied in the Old Testament Scriptures-foreshadowing God coming in the FLESH -fulfilled by His Resurrection – Christ is in every mans dna – BLOOD is life +++
The OT. PROPHECY [Esaias 9:6,7] For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him. 7 His government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: it shall be upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to support it with judgement and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
IT’S FULFILLMENT [Luke 1:32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David.
THE OT. PROPHECY [Esaias 7:14] Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive in the womb, and shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel.
ITS FULFILLMENT [Luke 1:26] And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, [Luke 1: 27] To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. [Luke 1:30] And the angel said unto her, “Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.” [Luke 1:31] “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
THE OT. PROPHECY
[Esaias 53:5] But he was wounded on account of our sins, and was bruised because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and by his bruises we were healed.
THE NT. FULFILLMENT
[Romans 5:6] For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
[Romans 5:7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
[Romans 5:8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
THE OT. PROPHECY
[Zacharias 12:10] And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and compassion: and they shall look upon me, because they have mocked me, and they shall make lamentation for him, as for a beloved friend, and they shall grieve intensely, as for a firstborn son.
[Psalm 21:18] They have pierced my hands and my feet…
THE NT. FULFILLMENT
[John 20:20] And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
[John 20:25] The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
Indeed death is a wonderful gift from God and nothing really to be afraid of. If one has Faith and love for God. Not all of us make a success of our lives, yet God is so merciful. Death is so often a blessed relief from pain and suffering. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video and so true. I lost my beloved husband to accident last year and at only 51 yrs, in my great grieve I was saying my God repeatedly and that same night which was after 3 wks of his passing I had a dream and I saw a sign of a cross in sweet Magneta colour and it was flashing with white light. what does this dream symbolize and if this dream was really from God ? I ask you because I have been following your channel for sometime now and see that you have a great knowledge about God and the bible, also if it was his destiny to die this way ?

i've died twice allready, but both times i fell into intermediate station.
first time was at y.2000, when i erred to suppressive deadicine's test animal. [i did not realize that then.] i had a tumor in my brain ventricle, and suddenly a butcher-team of satan's worshipers started to declare: that they can surger under my brain, on second thought. i fall straight to intermediate station, when they started that operation. = that slaughterhouse is the intermediate station itself, a l s o at God-divorced spiritual world. [ after Christ Rescued me from there, but converted back here, i saw waking nightmares from it next ~10 years. ]
second time was this summer. i've been having blood poisoning over 3 years, andBut this time i proceeded whole ~9km:s in my death at spiritual world, before i fell again into intermediate station. there, bane's detestation's personified humandemon started to sue, litigate me. it had wide but dim witnesses & jury; L u c k i l y , LORD JESUS Retrieved, redeemed me from that unrelieved district court.

0:23, 1:43, significant reasons why death for the spiritual man is not a curse but a blessing!
Scripture itself declares the fact (Revelation 14:13) that death for the believer in Christ is a blessing!
