a temporary overnight stay

Psalm 91:1-2 (JDV)

Psalm 91:1 The one who stays under the protection of the Most High stays for the night in the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:2 I will say concerning Yahveh, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust:

a temporary overnight stay

In the Bible, human life is described not as eternal unending life, but as a temporary overnight stay. The theologians can talk all day about how we have immortal souls that even God cannot destroy. But God’s word puts us in our place. If we are looking for permanent life, we need to look to Jesus. He offers that permanent life through the resurrection.
