So man

Before I go—and I shall not return—

To the land of darkness and deep shadow,

“For I know that You will bring me to death
And to the house of meeting for all living.

For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity.

Furthermore, men are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags himself along, and the caperberry is ineffective. For man goes to his eternal home while mourners go about in the street.

Till the heavens

“As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.

“Even they will perish, but You endure;
And all of them will wear out like a garment;
Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.

“Lift up your eyes to the sky,
Then look to the earth beneath;
For the sky will vanish like smoke,
And the earth will wear out like a garment
And its inhabitants will die in like manner;
But My salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not wane.

“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;
And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.

“For just as the new heavens and the new earth
Which I make will endure before Me,” declares the Lord,
“So your offspring and your name will endure.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope

But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.

Awake

“For now I would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,

“Why then do You not pardon my transgression
And take away my iniquity?
For now I will lie down in the dust;
And You will seek me, but I will not be.”

Your dead will live;

Their corpses will rise.

You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy,
For your dew is as the dew of the dawn,
And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.

This He said, and after that He *said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.”

For this reason it says,
“Awake, sleeper,
And arise from the dead,
And Christ will shine on you.”

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
