| Is there a difference between the Old and New Testaments concerning death? | ||
| Event | Old Testament | New Testament |
| We die | Gen. 2:17 | Rev. 14:13 |
| We sleep | Job 14:12 | John 11:11-14 |
| Change comes on last day | Job 14:14 | 1 Cor.15:51-54 |
| Spoke, though dead | Gen. 4:10 | Heb. 11:4 |
| The person: | Job | Jesus |
| Gave up the ghost | Job 14:10 | Luke 23:46 |
| Did not go to heaven at death | Job 14:14; 21:32 | John 20:17 |
| NOTE: Job would wait until his change would come. His change comes when Jesus returns again. | (NOTE: Jesus did not go to heaven until after His life returned.) | |
