The Book of Wisdom, one of the most important sapiential books from the Bible, begins its narration by teaching about the nature of the two mentalities; the wise and the foolish are in opposition and conflict between each other, and God according to this spiritual book has a destiny, not only in this physical life by the ethical laws of the universe but also in the afterlife, reserved for men depending on whether they behave with common sense or not.
And among the interesting spiritual teachings of this mysterious book, one quote deserves to be highlighted about this spiritual issue: "But the righteous one, though he die early, shall be at rest" Wisdom 4:7. The Book of Wisdom tells us that no matter how much righteous men suffer the persecution and harassment of the impious men, there is an ultimate spiritual retribution for the righteous man, the rest in God.
It could be said that this rest in God is the continuation of the spiritual gift of immortality, in other words, this rest in God is the rest of souls in communion with God after the physical life in the world. And about this there is also a similar statement in the Book of Psalms, when God rejects sinners and the hardness of the heart: "So I declared on oath in my anger, ´They shall never enter my rest.´" Psalm 95:11.
The Sacred Scriptures says sinners are rejected from this spiritual rest, because God, by his perfection, does not coexist with error or evil; it must remembered that the abyss is reserved for sinners according to the Bible: "He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him" Revelation 20:2-3.
The Bible does not talk much about life after death, but ultimately, rest in God and the abyss are the destinies of the human soul according to the Bible according to the path that men have chosen, righteousness or sin.
