The Holy Spirit said:

" The body without the spirit is dead ..." This is a scripture: James 2:26

This shows us that when a person dies, the spirit leaves that body at the moment of death!

Where does the spirit of the person who believes in Jesus go?

We know from the Bible death is described as "falling asleep". (John 11 & I Thessalonians 4:14)

And we know from I Thessalonians 4:14 that spirit of the person who is of God and died is asleep in Jesus.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.

This causes me to believe that at the time of death, the spirit (soul) of the person leaves the body and falls asleep in Jesus when they belong to Him.

When Jesus returns to earth "with a shout" that spirit that has been sleeping in Jesus awakens and is resurrected and taken to the new heaven and new earth which has been created by God for HIS people!

This is a description from the Bible of that new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God HIMSELF shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

And HE said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

(So why visit graves? The soul, spirit, of the believer is not there in the dead body, but is risen and sleeps in Jesus!)
