Immortality perpetuity of existence. The doctrine of immortality is taught in the Old Testament. It is plainly implied in the writings of Moses (Genesis 5:22, Genesis 1:5; Genesis 1:25; Genesis 1:37; Genesis 1:47; Genesis 1:49, comp. Hebrews 11:13-16; Exodus 3:6, comp. Matthew 22:23). It is more clearly and fully taught in the later books (Isaiah 14:9; Psalms 17:15; Psalms 1:49; Psalms 1:73). It was thus a doctrine obviously well known to the Jews.
With the full revelation of the gospel this doctrine was "brought to light" (2 Timothy 1:10; 1 Corinthians 1:15; 2 Corinthians 5:1-6; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
