There are a number of kinds of death in the Bible such as the second death (eternal death). Notice our study in 4:13 to the end of the chapter. That passage says that the body that "sleeps" (dead) will be raised from the dead to be rejoined to soul and spirit at the Rapture. 2 Co 5:8 says that to be absent from the body is to be instanteously "face to face" (literally) with the Lord.
