FATHER SERAPHIM ROSE =THE SOUL AFTER DEATH

The soul has its senses and, consequently, feels

The latter decision is not an act of overthrow, the decision of the soul at the moment of its separation from the body, but rather to realize a union with the transformed, resurrected body with which the soul will continue to live forever. After separation, the soul has its senses and, consequently, feels, perceives, and generally exercises all the energies of the soul (Revelation 6: 9-10, 7:15; 1 Peter 3:19; Hebrews 12:23; Luke 16: 27-28). The word "sleep", which characterizes death, does not refer to the soul, but to the body. At Matthew 27:52, we read that many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. The final decision will take place regarding the second coming of Jesus Christ, a strong belief of the Church recorded in the Creed that "He (Jesus Christ) will come again in glory to judge the quick and the dead." The time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is unknown and, according to Revelation, can not be guessed by any means.
