Isaiah 57:1

Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time.

But no one seems to care or wonder why.

No one seems to understand, that God is protecting them from the evil to come.

Psalms 91:2

I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

2 Corinthians 5:8

We are of good courage and confident hope, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

Alexander is rejoicing with the Angels in heaven, he is home.
