Afterlife


Yeh, that's the moon up there playing in a very gentle sunrise.
We Christians are so comforted reading about life after death in the New Testament that we take for granted that it's like that in the Old Testament.  In the Hebrew Bible the only certain reference to life after death is Daniel 12:2-3: "Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to eternal life, others to reproaches, to everlasting abhorrence.  And the knowledgeable will be radiant like the bright expanse of sky, and those who lead the many to righteousness will be like the stars forever and ever."
