(Rev. 6:14, 16, 17) Therefore, the Bible answer to the Bible question, “When man gives up the ghost, where is he?” is this: He is asleep in the grave until the trump of God awakes the dead; until the voice of the glorious Son of God calls, and all that are in the graves hear His voice; for it is God who gives victory over death, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?" (Ps. 88:10-12). Here the grave, the place of the dead, is called "the land of forgetfulness." This is strictly in accord with that which we read under our last question, that "the dead know not anything, neither 17
