EXIT STRATEGY: How to Die with Your Documents — and Dignity — in Place

Psalm 90:12:“Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

“100 years from now, no one who is currently alive will still be alive.”

2024: Approximately 62 million people died globally.

Assuming a gradual increase from 62 million to 80 million deaths per year over 25 years, the cumulative deaths from 2025 to 2050 would be approximately 1.7 billion.

As of 2025, approximately 172,824 people die each day worldwide. This equates to: 

7,201 deaths per hour

120 deaths per minute

2 deaths per second

Proverbs 13:22 “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.”

Proverbs 20:7 “The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.”

“There is nothing evil about dying—for believers.”

“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” — Psalm 116:15

“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” — Philippians 1:21

“Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.” — John 11:25

“The last enemy to be destroyed is death.” — 1 Corinthians 15:26

“I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far.” — Philippians 1:23

We must help Believers speak about death not with denial, but with peace and preparedness. Death is not the monster under the bed—it’s the doorway to the wedding feast.

Death:

·       Is no longer a punishment,

·       Is now the doorway to presence with Christ,

·       Can be a final testimony of faith.
