Where is the Spirit World? --- Is he here? It is not beyond the sun, but is in this world that was organized for people who have lived and live and still live. No other person can have, and we can not have another realm until we are ready to inhabit forever. 3:372.
When you leave this tent, where does it go? The World of Spirits. Will the bosom of Abraham? No, not at a place like that but the world of spirits. Where is the spirit world? It's here. Are spirits good and bad together? Yes, they are. Do you live them in the same realm? Yes, they do. Do they go to sun? No. Are they going beyond the border of the land? No, do not. They are brought on this earth, for the express purpose to inhabit for all eternity. Where else are we going? A nowhere else, only if it is allowed. 3:369 ...
But where is the spirit world? System is built into heaven. Can you see with your natural eyes? No. Can see spirits in this room? No. Suppose the Lord to touch the eye can possibly see, could see the spirits? Yes, as clearly as now seen the bodies, as did the servant of Elijah. If the Lord willing, and outside their own that was made, you could see the spirits that have departed this world as clearly as you see now bodies with their natural eyes. 3:3638.
The Prophet has left his body, has left his life, his spirit is the spirit world, the persecutor of the Prophet dies, and goes to Hades, the two go to a place, and are not separated yet. Now understand that this is part of the great sermon that the Lord is preaching in his providence, just as the wicked go together to Hades.
If we were to our mother country, the States, we find there the righteous and the wicked, if we went to California, we would find there the righteous and the wicked, all dwell together, and when we go beyond the veil, and leave our bodies were taken from the mother land, and must return, our spirits pass beyond the veil, we'll go where saints and sinners go, they all go to one place. 3:94.
