Will I See My Deceased Spouse Again? :: By Daymond Duck

The death of a loving spouse can be tragic.

I had a loving wife.

Things were going well for us.

We had a good income, a good place to live, a good family, a good Church.

My wife and I were both Christians.

Almost five years ago, she was told she had Covid-19.

She died seventeen days later.

I quickly learned what life without my wife was like (what it is to live alone, eat alone, go places without her, have no one to talk to, to go home to, etc.).

Through the years, several people have asked me if they will see their deceased spouse again.

Be aware that I am referring to Christians.

Whether or not both were saved by grace through faith in Jesus makes all the difference in the world.

As a Christian, will I see my deceased wife in heaven?

I believe the answer is “Yes,” and here are some of the reasons:

• When Jesus was raised from the dead, people saw Him, touched Him, knew Him, etc.
• When Jesus was raised from the dead, many Old Testament saints were raised with Him.
• When the rich man saw Lazarus in Paradise (a true story, not a parable), the rich man knew Lazarus.
• Following their departure, Moses and Elijah appeared unto Jesus and talked with Him.
• When the Rapture happens, the deceased Christians will be raised from the dead first, and all Christians will be caught up into the air at the same time to be with Jesus. Paul said God doesn’t want ignorance in the Church about this and that Christians should comfort one another with this message.
• When Saul got the witch of Endor to call Samuel back from the dead, Saul and Samuel knew each other.
• When David’s son by Bathsheba died, David said, “I shall go to him, but he shall not come to me.” David could go to his deceased son when he died.

The separation of Christians by death is just temporary.

We have a Christian spouse for a while, then we’re separated by death, and then we’ll see them again.

With God, all things are possible, and His Word must be fulfilled.

(BTW: When we see our spouse again, both of us will have a new immortal, incorruptible body and will never get sick, or die, or sin again. We can’t imagine how wonderful that will be.)

Here are some recent events that cause me to believe that it won’t be long until living Christians see their deceased Christian spouses again.

One, concerning wars and rumors: here is a continuation of my update on the Israel-Iran war.

Day Seven of the Israel-Iran war (Thursday, June 19, 2025):

• Israel believes they have destroyed about half of Iran’s missile launchers.
• Trump’s envoy to Iran, Steve Witkoff, has delivered a proposal to Iran to de-escalate the war that he says is completely rational.
• Trump’s Press. Sec. said Pres. Trump will decide whether to attack Iran or not in two weeks, pending negotiations with Iran.
• Israel said if Pres. Trump doesn’t attack Iran’s heavily fortified nuclear facilities at Fordo, Israel will.
• A senior IRGC commander claims that all enriched uranium stored at Iran’s nuclear sites was secretly relocated to hidden locations before Israel’s bombing campaign began.
• S. officials said they are confident bunker-busting bombs can destroy Iran’s Fordo facility, but the use of a tactical nuclear weapon remains on the table as a contingency.
• Israeli jets are striking many targets in Iran.
• The U.S. has confirmed that China is delivering military aid to Iran.
• Massive amounts of military aid from the U.S. and Germany have arrived in Israel.

Day Eight of the Israel-Iran war (Friday, June 20, 2025):

• Israel has discovered several concealed missile launch sites and is beginning to take them out.
• Israel destroyed three Iranian missiles on the ground before they could be launched.
• More than 60 Israeli jets struck sites in Tehran.
• Iran said it is willing to discuss limits on its uranium enrichment, but it is unwilling to accept zero enrichment (My opinion: discussions with Iran accomplish nothing. World leaders need to require zero enrichment.)
• Iran launched about 20 missiles at Israel. At least twenty Israelis injured, three in serious condition.
• An Iranian missile hit a mosque in Israel.
• An Iranian missile injured 45 Israelis (two are serious, one is moderate), and damage is extensive.
• There was a terrorist attack in London, and captured suspects are Iranian.

Day Nine of the Israel-Iran war (Saturday, June 21, 2025):

• Israel killed two Iranian commanders and attacked Iran’s nuclear research center in Isfahan (Iran’s largest nuclear facility).
• Trump indicatedthat his June 19, 2025, two-week timeline for a decision on US military involvement in Iran is the maximum amount of time, and he could make up his mind sooner.
• Fourteen of Iran’s top nuclear scientists have been eliminated.
• Israel is not trying to start a new war. Israel is trying to end an old war that has been going on for decades.
• Six U.S. B2 stealth bombers that can carry the MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) are on their way to Guam in case Pres. Trump decides to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordo. Iran’s effort to enrich enough uranium to make nuclear bombs cannot be stopped until Fordo is taken out.
• Israel claims that it has already set back Iran’s ability to build a nuclear bomb by two to three years.
• On Truth Social, Pres. Trump wrote, “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordo, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran’s airspace. A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordo. All planes are safely on their way home.”
• Initial estimates are that Fordo was destroyed, but no one knows, and we will have to wait to see.

Day Ten of the Israel-Iran war (Sunday, June 22, 2025;

• The U.S. notified Iran that it is not planning any more attacks on Iran and it is not seeking regime change.
• Russia’s former Pres. Medvedev said a number of nations are now ready to supply Iran with nuclear weapons. He added that the enrichment of nuclear material and the production of nuclear weapons will continue.
• Iran’s Parliament voted to close the Strait of Hormuz. The Supreme Council is expected to approve it before this day is over. It would be illegal and likely lead to more conflicts. 20% of the world’s oil goes through the Strait; it could cause the price of oil to soar, possibly cause economies to collapse, and more.
• Israel destroyed two Iranian jets, eight missile launchers, and other Iranian assets.
• A terrorist attack on a Church in Damascus killed at least 20 Christians and injured dozens more.
• Prime Min. Netanyahu said Israel has interesting information about Iran’s relocated enriched uranium.

(Note: Iran’s threat to close the Strait of Hormuz is why a large port, called Al Faw Grand Port, has been built at Iraq – the ancient land of Babylon. Construction started in 2020, and it is now complete. Billions of dollars have been pledged, and there is a plan to build a canal and a road to bypass Iran’s threats to close the Strait of Hormuz and the Houthis attacks on shipping through the Red Sea. Global traders are anxious for an alternate route. This threat may lead to the fulfillment of Rev. 18.).

Day Eleven of the Israel-Iran war (Monday, June 23, 2025;

• Iran fired a barrage of fifteen missiles at Israel (no major damage).
• The U.S. said Iran is building a new underground nuclear reactor.
• Israel attacked Iran’s underground nuclear reactor at Fordo again.
• Iran accused Russia of not doing enough to help Iran. The Ayatollah Khamenei had his Ambassador to Russia take a letter to Putin asking him to take a stronger stand against the U.S. and Israel.
• The U.S. said closing the Strait of Hormuz would be a serious mistake.
• Iran launched ten missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar. There are no reports of damage yet.
• Iran warned that all U.S. bases are a target.
• Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran beginning about midnight Eastern Time in the U.S.

Day Twelve of the Israel-Iran war (Tuesday June 24, 2025;

• Netanyahu said Israel has met its objectives in the war and Israel agrees to a ceasefire.
• One missile was launched from Iran, breaking the ceasefire.
• Israel ordered intense fire against Iran for breaking the ceasefire.
• Iran first denied, then admitted to and apologized for breaking the ceasefire.
• Israel retaliated by striking a military site in Iran and said the strike was before the ceasefire took effect. (My comment: Although there are different opinions about when the Battle will take place, the Bible clearly teaches that Iran will submit to Russia’s leadership in the Battle of Gog and Magog, and they and other allies will try to destroy Israel. Iran’s request for Russia to take a stronger stand should not be overlooked.)
• Iran vowed to renew its quest for nuclear weapons.
• The U.S. warned Iran to stay away from its destroyed nuclear reactors and not try to recover enriched uranium.

Two, concerning God’s promise to bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel: on June 21, 2025, Pres. Trump addressed the nation about his decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear reactors:

Here is how he closed his message:

• I want to just thank everybody.
• And, in particular, God.
• I want to just say, we love you, God, and we love our great military.
• Protect them.
• God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel and God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you.

 

Three, on June 21, 2025, Harbingers Daily reported that Franklin Graham said:

• Iran wants Jews erased from the earth, and that’s exactly what they would do with an atomic weapon.
• Israel has had no choice but to defend itself.

Four, on June 22, 2025, Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu, his wife, and several others went to the Western Wall to pray and thank God for America’s help with taking out Iran’s nuclear reactors and to pray for Pres. Trump and ask God to bless him for helping Israel.

Five, concerning hatred for Israel and deceit at the end of the age, a Muslim, Zohran Mamdani, is running for Mayor of New York City, and he refuses to acknowledge that Israel has a right to exist.

On June 20, 2025, it was reported that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is funneling money to Mamdani’s campaign.

CAIR blames Israel for the Hamas attack on Israel that started the current war.

Some Arab nations have designated CAIR as a terrorist organization.

(Update: On June 24, 2025, Mamdani won the Democrat nomination for Mayor of New York City. He has been described as a very extreme, foreign-born, anti-Israel socialist.

Six, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: following Lebanon’s call for Hezbollah to stay out of Israel’s war with Iran and Hezbollah’s refusal to do so, on June 20, 2025, Israel’s Defense Min. said:

• Israel has lost patience with terrorists who threaten it.
• If there is terrorism — there will be no Hezbollah.

Seven, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on June 20, 2025, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said,

• The whole of Ukraine belongs to Russia.
• Where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, that is ours.

Eight, concerning God’s promise that Israel will never be destroyed again: on June 24, Elie Mischel wrote,

• Israel has brought Iran to its knees—a small nation dismantling a powerful regional enemy in just days. Then came President Trump’s decisive action, halting Iran’s nuclear ambitions. These are not ordinary military victories; they feel like miraculous reversals that our ancestors could only dream of.

(My opinion: It is a miracle and it is evidence that God keeps His word.).

Nine, with Iran threatening to retaliate against the U.S. for bombing its nuclear reactors, concerning illegal immigrants entering the U.S. from Iran: on June 22, 2025, it was reported that the Biden administration:

• Apprehended 48 in fiscal 2021 and released 12 into the U.S.;
• Apprehended 197 in 2022 and released 40 into the U.S.;
• Apprehended 462 in 2023 and released 229 into the U.S.;
• Apprehended 797 in 2024 and released 448 into the U.S.

These numbers do not include gotaways and other Iranians that were apprehended at ports of entry.

On June 22, 2025, the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security issued a national terrorism advisory in the U.S.

One U.S. official said America’s open border has left the U.S. vulnerable to sleeper cells that can be activated by Iran.

(More: On June 25, 2025, it was reported that ICE arrested 11 Iranian nationals suspected of having terrorist affiliations or criminal histories while living illegally in the United States.)

Ten, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: the National Weather Service (NWS) has warned that Montana could get 12-24 inches of rain and wind gusts up to 45 mph on June 20-22, 2025, at elevations above 6,000 ft.

The NWS warns of the potential for slick roads, reduced visibility, sudden whiteout conditions, downed trees and power lines.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
