W.T.M. — It is evident that the spirits of those who die in the Lord are immediately present with Him (see Phil. 1:23; Acts 7:59; Luke 23:43), and this must mean bliss for them, even though they remain in the disembodied state until the coming of the Lord, when their bodies will be raised in glory (1 Cor. 15:43, 51-53).
It is also clear that those who die without Christ are in the place of torment (Luke 16:23 and 24), though they await the last resurrection when at the great white throne they receive their final sentence to the lake of fire (Rev. 20:11-15).
