His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
The dead do not know or perceive it when their sons come to honor, and they are brought low but they do not perceive it of them. They know nothing of earthly events or anything done under the sun, including the joys and sorrows of those they loved most and who were dearest to them on earth. They have no part in anything done under the sun. At death thoughts perish and the dead know not anything, lying in silence in the grave.
They sleep unconscious in the grave until the resurrection. They do not go immediately to heaven, for neither do the righteous go at death to their reward nor the wicked to their punishment. For the weary righteous the time in death, whether long or short, is only a moment of blessed rest until they are awakened by the trump of God to glorious immortality. This exposes the lying claims of Spiritualism as at war with Scripture, since the dead cannot know earthly events or return to communicate with the living.
