Family Death

In Shawn's teaching, he addresses the significant impact of death on Christian families in this age of fulfillment, emphasizing the distinction between how death was perceived under Jewish law and the apostolic church awaiting Jesus' return, compared to today. He explains that, historically, death often led souls to sheol, a place of separation, until Jesus' resurrection and return, which altered the afterlife experience by transporting the faithful into the presence of God and establishing the new age with a new heaven, earth, and New Jerusalem.

The teaching emphasizes that the Kingdom of God reigns within true believers, and at the physical death of a believer, they transition to a heavenly existence with God. All humanity, regardless of faith, will eventually experience God's love and light after death, with the ultimate victory of Christ ensuring that hell and eternal punishment are abolished, offering an opportunity for all to enter realms of understanding and spirit.
