A question that has been on everyone’s mind at one point or another throughout their life, and the question which demands an answer to those seeking it. This table shows where every believer in Jesus (Christians) and those unbelievers goes once they die, based on the dispensation they lived in. The only way you can accept what the bible has to say is to read and understand it for yourself that it’s a message system from a God outside of space and time. For more information you should download ‘The Rapture Survival Guide’ and read through the Christianity section.
