Where are these souls?

[jacorian]

Specifically where is the soul of say Daniel, King David, all those who have perished from Man's iniquity? Why did not God save Peter a second time & why did the apostles have to perish by bloody deaths?

I dont think a soul is something separate from the man. If the man is dead, there is no soul (no person) hanging out somewhere.

Genesis 2:7 KJV — And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man (the dust in the shape of a man) became a living soul.

Peter, in Acts 2, specifically said David was still dead and buried, and NOT ascended to heaven yet.

Acts 2:34 KJV — For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

Ascension into heaven seems to require a person be alive.
