Old Testament and the Jews.

According to the Old Testament, what happens to people when they die?

Do they just sustain an eternal unconscious death?

Death is as much a mystery to the human mind as life itself and perhaps more so.

We can't think through the minds of the dead as living entities in the flesh.

We can't see the world from the point of view of the dead.

We can't hear through dead person's ears.

We can't ask the dead of their death experience and expect to receive an answer from the dead person's lips. We can't ask the dead, "What is it like to be dead?"

Are the dead temporarily or permanently conscious or unconscious?

We living really know not much of the dead for a fact except what we can observe with our own senses. DEATH is a presumed state in the minds of the living anyway. No heartbeat, no breathing: the person is legally declared "dead". We can only observe the physical aspects of what we presume to be "death" and not the spiritual aspects.

Tom Berenger's sergeant character really posed a profound question his soldiers in the film Platoon, "What do you know about death?"

What is DEATH really?

The question is,its not What is Death,
But who is Death?

Seeing that Christ Jesus cleared it all up as to where people's spirit goes after the body of flesh and blood dies.

In the great gulf fix, Luke 16:26

Jesus was a human like the rest of us. His ideas on an afterlife were mere speculation, just like those of anyone else who believe in a life after death.

The ancient Egyptians sure went to great lengths to insure a pleasant afterlife.

Why Does the Brain Need So Much Power?
Scientific American
The brain uses a lot of energy.

The body also uses energy. This energy is electricity.

First Law of Thermodynamics - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Science Direct
"The First Law of Thermodynamics is a conservation law, which means that the energy in the universe can neither be created nor destroyed."

So, where does our energy go when we die? It still exists. It cannot be destroyed. The only question is does it disburse into the universe or does it stay formed as a being? Then we would be spiritual beings. I believe the later. What is my evidence? The interactions I have with God. It is also believed by almost all cultures that there is a God or gods. This has been the case since the beginning of man's time on earth. Cave paintings depict this. Why would billions of people throughout time believe that they have interacted with God or the gods? Are they all mentally ill? Or is there a justification for this? Have they, too, interacted? I believe that they have.

The only part of Jesus that was human,
Was the body of flesh and blood,
Other than that Jesus is the Almighty God.

How do you know for sure what lays over in the unknown, seeing no one has died for any amount of time, to come.back and say what lays over in the unknown

Not even the scientific world can not disprove or prove anything about the Unknown.
