My quote above is mine in response to this statement of yours.

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
I believe we have soul, or "essence" which departs the body when we die, not lying in the ground till the Second Coming.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

Of course our souls don't stay in the ground with our body.

And "the Second Coming" or "the Rapture" is even "more at hand" than it was 2000 years ago.

"Come quickly, Lord!"
