One of the case studies in Ancient Israel comes from Psalms 88.In the anthropology of the dead, the nephesh is inviolable and makes the journey to Sheol (Psalms 30:3). The beginning of Psalms 88 is of a man praying to God about his afterlife, because he knows his death is coming in the near future. He prays for “salvation” and the man nephesh is still currently on earth but he is aware that he will be going to “the pit” when he dies (Psalms 88:1-4).

The angel tells him to be “strong and courageous” and to fight the Prince of Persia (Daniel 10:18-21). Chapter 12 of Daniel begins with Michael, the great prince, arising and promising to help the Jews by delivering Daniel’s people and “everyone who is found written in the book” will be saved when the time occurs to bring everyone back …show more content…
