The living know that they will die, but the dead do not know a thing. Their love, hatred and envy die with them.
The dead have no work, wishes, knowledge nor understanding - for they are dead. The dead praise not the Lord. He breathes his last and is buried; in that same day his thoughts die also. The dead will never arise to haunt, and will never return to his house. They will never know if their children are honored, or if they fail or face disaster. They do not know about it. Because they are dead!
Can the living learn the future from the dead? If there is a [false] prophet among you or one claiming to foretell the future, and if his predictions come true, but he says, "let us worship other gods," then do not listen to him/her! These are false prophets, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ's apostles! For Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light!
The Holy Spirit expressly says, "In the last days some will leave the faith and will believe evil spirits and doctrines of demons." So watch yourself lest you are weighed down with life's worries and cares, and Christ's Coming catches you off guard. Watch and pray at all times so you will have the strength to keep yourself from evil.
