Solomon & Psalmist On Death

"The clearest and most concise inspired definition of death was written by Solomon, “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave itEcclesiastes 12:7.


The psalmist describes death in these words, “Thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are createdPsalm 104:29, 30.

Here the order is reversed, and their breath returns to God at death.
Solomon said the spirit returns.
Here God gives the spirit to create,
but Genesis says He gave the breath to create.
It only makes sense when we understand that the two words are used interchangeably and mean the same thing."
