Ezekiel: God who travels Chapter 15

 "For every living soul belongs to me."

What the Lord speaks in Ezekiel 18 is all about souls. That being discussed means the soul is truly real and all "living" beings possess it. Can the dead still have a soul after it dies? Good question can we look to Islam or Reincarnation to understand our God even better?

In many religions, souls have different states and own places to depart or stay. For example: Islam teaches what Allah taught the Angels to assist a wicked soul whether to depart the body and drag them to the wrath of Allah or to the contented soul to depart by mercy of Allah and receive full soul care from its Angels and carry them to the 7th heaven.

I also appreciate these lines from Islam: Good and contented souls” are instructed “to depart to the mercy of God.” They leave the body, “flowing as easily as a drop from a waterskin” and are wrapped by angels in a perfumed shroud, and are taken to the “seventh heaven,” where the record is kept. These souls, too, are then returned to their bodies.

While reincarnation states that in Hindu a soul undergoes a process of karma until it reaches Nirvana stage. In Buddhism, I certainly don't understand but it follows the ways of reincarnation of the soul too.

But reading Ezekiel 18 God answered all of man's questions about the life and death of a soul very, very personally. I love how God put it: "Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?"

Then God says a few passages then wraps it up this way: "For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!"

Here, it is clear. We all have EQUAL chances to make our soul worthy of God. If you have sinned, repent while you still have the time. Our God of the Bible is very personal. No mention of heaven or hell or whatever complicated ways to earn your soul's good journey after death. Just focus on how you live and God will surely award you what you deserve the most and not based on what you did but through Jesus Christ, we will all come to meet God's Glory one day.
