Question / Issue

where will the souls of people who die go until the final resurection and judgement? also will people even die during the millenium?

Answer / Solution

The place where souls went after death before Jesus came is described in Luke 16:19-31. "Abraham's bosom" is where the Old Testament saints went before Jesus' resurrection. When Jesus came to this place, He took away all these saints to be with Him in Paradise when He left, so that any Christian who dies now is with the Lord immediately.

The same passage describes the place where unsaved souls are after death. Sheol, the Old Testament word for the grave, or Hades, in the New Testament, are different words for the same place. It is divided into 2 parts, Abraham's bosom (now empty since the saints are all with Jesus), and the place of torment where those who have rejected God await the judgement day. So the unsaved who are in the grave are waiting for the judgement, after which they will be cast into the lake of fire according to Rev 20:15.

The people living on the earth during the millenium will die: Rev 20:7-10 relates how the devil will again deceive many of those who have lived during the millenium and they will be destroyed. But the raptured and resurrected church will also be with Christ during the millenium, and we will not die.
