The answer to this question, which is: Where will we live after our death? The first Book of The Bible, called Genesis has this to say.

Genesis 2: 17 reads: "As for the tree of knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die."

( Death was never part of God's plans for the human race. It is the consequence for not sticking to the source of life)

Adam knew that if he did not eat from that particular tree, he would not have died. That command would have made no sense if he was meant to grow old and die anyway.

Genesis 3: 1-5 shows their choice, and Genesis 3: 19 describes the consequences of that choice in these words. " In the sweat of your forehead you will eat bread ( food ) until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return. Genesis 2: 7 confirms that we were made from the dust from the ground.

So the answer to your question according to what was said to Adam. The dead return to the ground, where they were taken from.

Mankind's hope in the future is in the resurrection provision set by God and confirmed in John 5: 28,29, where we can read that we are held in God's memory.

The meaning of the word resurrection literally means " standing up again" and it refers to a rising up from death.

Psalm 37: 29 shows us where we will live in these words. " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.

Adam and Eve were placed on earth to take care of it according to Genesis 2: 15. God's purpose has not changed, it has only been postponed.

2'000 years ago, Jehovah God sent his precious Son to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage caused by Satan, confirmed in Romans 5: 12.

When Jesus was on earth, he told us to pray for his Father's kingdom to come in Matthew 6; 9,10 where his Father's will, will be done as in heaven also on earth. Jesus would never have told us to pray for something that will never come true, would he?

God's kingdom is a government that will undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done.

It will provide: A perfect health for all those who take their stand for him, peace and security, and a clean environment, which was God's purpose that has not changed. Read John 17:3
