His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
Death is the king of terrors. It roots out the confidence of those who deny God. Such persons may banish all thought of God from their minds and boast through life that there is no God. Atheism sheds no light into the grave and gives no comfort at death. When brought face to face with death, its holders are forced from unwilling lips to confess that the boasts of a lifetime were a delusion. The faithful dead rest in the tomb until Christ calls them from it at the resurrection.
