Based on what I've gathered from various believers, this location referred to as "Abraham's bosom" is said to be the destination for all of Jehovah's faithful servants prior to our era after their passing.
It's claimed that this place was vacated by Jesus Christ when he arrived there after his death and brought everyone with him to heaven at the time of his ascension.
It's important to note that not every believer who takes this illustration literally can convey the entire concept, as they recognize it lacks solid biblical backing. Those who advocate for this unusual teaching often manipulate certain passages to make them fit.
Did the ancient servants of God embrace this doctrine, or is it merely a construct of contemporary Christian theorists? We have previously established that the servants of God depicted in the Hebrew Scriptures did not subscribe to this belief.
Now consider: whose "bosom" was it before Abraham's existence? For instance, where were Abel, Enoch, Noah, and other devoted servants of God who passed away prior to Jehovah's covenant with Abraham regarding his descendants supposedly reveling? Or, where did those who worshiped God end up, yet were not Abraham's descendants, like his kin Nahor and his offspring, who remained in different territories and from whom the subsequent patriarchs selected their spouses?
It's noteworthy that one of these figures, Job, who was not a descendant of Abraham, did not hold the belief that he would enter a realm of pleasure after death:
Job 7:21 Why do you not pardon my transgression And excuse my error? For soon I will lie down in the dust, And you will look for me, but I will be gone.
A human body is Formed…complete.
It’s LIFE is blood.
A form-ED body receives a SOUL from God.
It’s LIFE is Gods Breath.
A Natural human formed body, begins learning.
It’s MIND, can easily believe lies, wonder, doubt truths, and change often what it believes.
A natural human, “natural truth”, with a consistant Truth, “is the Natural SPIRIT of man”…. Which is his “true belief in his HEART”.
That natural truth / spirit in a man’s heart, is what God “circumcises”, before God gives that man, a new Seed (Gods seed), which rebirth a mans, Spiritual Spirit, and thereafter, Gods “Spirit of Truth”, dwell IN that man, called, “IN Christ”…
(saved soul, new Seed, new heart, Gods Spirit of Truth, (Jesus), Gods Spirit of Power (Christ)…keeps such a man WITH God Forever. OSAS.
Anciently men KNEW, human body’s dust of the Earth, their soul from God, dead bodies buried, return to Dust. Living souls depart dead bodies, with Abraham’s Soul in Comfort , as Abraham’s appointment was Father of many Nations
Unsaved Departed living souls wait in hell, in Torments for Judgement Day.
Yes, ancient men knew human body’s, ARE body, soul, spirit…three things.
The mortal body, that Shall Die.
The soul that will be saved or destroyed.
The spirit that will be born again or die with is mortal body.
When a body dies. It knows nothing…
However the departed living soul, knows everything the body knew.
If a departed soul returns to. dead Body, the body resumes living…as documented in Scripture…
And even today, some people are clinically pronounced Dead…yet revive, which some call a near death experience, but in fact they experienced death, their soul departed, their soul experience strange events, then returned to their body, and their body resume living.
Every departed living soul, shall return to its body for Judgement DAY otherwise …
How will every man SEE Jesus at His return, bend down their knee and worship Him?
No body, no knee to bend and bow!
