"We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
And, read Luke 16:19-31 KJV, the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. When a person dies, they are in "heaven" so to speak, but there is a gulf, between those who believe and those who did not Luke 16:26. In 1 Thessalonians 4 when it says:
13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
By saying "will God bring with him", it means they are already in heaven, and when God returns, He'll bring the saints with Him.
Thank You
