This is for believers in Jesus Christ. As for others, I have no interest.

If upon your deathbed, you are cognizant and recognize your spirit is leaving, What would your final statement be?

As Moses said, and our Savior said Have Mercy, Forgive them for they know not what they do, for those that have yet responded to Your Gift of Salvation. It is written that God would that none were Lost, I believe that My last words would be for the World to Repent! Sorry I have no Family left, only to Hope for others. Yes Moses stopped God from Smoking Israel, also Stephen asked that their sin be not laid upon them.

If I have the luxury of conscious time and my spouse still was living, my heart would speak these types of words….

"Into your hands I come to you my Lord Jesus, to be in yours and our Father’s service. My wife comes shortly. Protect her while on the earth. Glory be to our God, our life."

I would probably say to them around the bed. "Praise God, No regrets...don't weep, I am the blessed one..you all have to stay here....I will be waiting for you with open arms. " :)

And I hope I am smiling at the angels who have come for me.
I believe that they are always present at a Christians death bed, to do their job.
( you know...I saw them the night my dad died)

I don't think I will have any words for this world.

Not words for 'this world'...What about those with you in the room?

I like what William Wilberforce said 1833 :-
“My affections are so much in heaven that I can leave you all without a regret; yet I do not love you less, but God more.”

All good and honest answers. I think forgiveness would be on my mind, remember me, and Father into thy hands I commit my spirit.

Used to, there were many death bed statements, as 'ByGrace' mentioned of Wilberforce. And people would write them down knowing they were important. I find them very interesting. I know one of my grandmothers. She woke up her husband and asked him to raise the window to get some air. As he was doing it, she said, 'I'm gone'. And she was.

It is recorded of Robert E. Lee, that he was muttering words unintelligible as he was in a state of unconsciousness and delrium. But then spoke clearly his last words, "Strike the tent". Which was the command for moving on.

Also, Stonewall Jackson, another Christian man, last words were, "Let us pass over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees."

There used to be a Christian tract with the dying words of believers and non-believers. It made quite an impression on me back then. The peace and quiet resolve of the believer as opposed to the restless fear of the non-believer was placed in contrast.

Nancy,I was in an emergency room and they were working on me to keep my heart going.
I left and found myself in a green field and saw 3 small angels and one large one walking towards me.
All the grass was the same size and the same colour, bright blue sky, no clouds, no sun.
No wind. Very peaceful.
When they got closer to me I was pulled back into the emergency room, and saw a big crowd around me, doctors, nurses.
I was really disappointed to come back.
My wife did not share my disappointment. :)
After that I was wheeled into the operating room.

Can you and ByGrace describe what you saw?
I find this very interesting, I worked in the Medical field for 23 years, seen and heard allot from those patients!

I have shared it on this Site a couple of times..so hope no one is bored :)

The night my dad died ( I had been looking after him at home, he did not want to go into hospital) We knew that he would go sometime that week, the doctor had told us that.
We put to bed at 8 pm. At 9pm I walked passed his open door and he was gasping his way through Psalm 86. He was amazing.
At 10pm after checking on him again I fell into bed, so tired and worn out after weeks of looking after him. ( he was 90..heart failure)
When I lay in bed worn out I said " Lord please look after him and let me sleep for a few hours ."
With my eyes closed in the pitch dark, I "saw" 4 angels in our bedroom. two my side and two by Dave's. Then there was just a "knowing".
I knew that if I opened my eyes I would actually see them with the naked eye.
So I did, I sat up and there they where standing right where I saw them in vision.
Then I thought..."Wow if we have 4 in our room, I wonder how many my dad has in his. I sat up and tried to see into dad's room...all I could see what a bright white mist. It was almost as if God was saying " Mind your own business".
Then I just fell back on the pillow saying " Thank you Lord, I can rest, the angels are here tending to dad. ( Dave did not wake up)

Two hours later I woke...I "knew" dad was gone. The house just felt so empty.
I got up and went into his room, and yes he had gone.
I woke Dave and asked him to come and check him too, just to be sure before I turned off the oxygen.
I kissed my dad and said " Dad, you have done what I haven't done yet...you have gone through the valley of the shadow of death, and you are out on the other side!" Then I raised my hands and danced around his bedroom.
I knew that he was happy and free.

I did say to Dave while we waited for the funeral people to come and take him. " Oh darn, what a missed opportunity, I had four angles in the room and I never asked them any questions!! " I was so annoyed with myself.
But Dave said..."If you were supposed to talk to them or they to you, you would have 'know' that...they were here for dad, not for us."

That made sense and it gave me peace...I knew I had not "missed" anything that I was supposed to do. :)

Many many years ago a friend of mine told me that she walked into her mothers room in a hospital and she too saw two angels standing by her mothers bed.
She also , had the assurance that they had come to escort her mother Home.

After dad passed, a couple of nights later I had a vivid dream.
Dad walked into the living room..alive and strong. In the dream I was shoked to see him.
He sat next to me on the couch for a few moments, then he kind of slapped my thigh and said..well I can't sit here with you, I am far too busy, I things to do and people to greet, so I'm off now.

That gave me a real blessing and peace. :)

As you know, I don't believe anyone has made it to the Heaven of Heavens yet ( save Jesus) ...but I have assurance that God's people are somewhere Lovely and happy...until that time.

Thanks for sharing this rich and uplifting experience Helen.

Well my Father-in-law died in a local hospital and my wife said that a bright light shone through a glass angel sitting in the kitchen window sill of our home and it created a rainbow...and the grandfather clock suddenly stopped. We knew he just died and he did at that minute.

Stranger, I’ve thought a lot about your question. I don’t know what would be my final statement. But as one who has struggled with anxiety, panic, and fear; the thought of those final moments have been on my mind for decades. I was certain that death would be frightening and all I could imagine was what kind of epic fear would take over as I fight to hold on. So, I can’t give you a final statement I’d make, but I can tell you I no longer dread it.

BTW ByGrace ,
"...asked them any questions!! " I was so annoyed with myself.
But Dave said..."If you were supposed to talk to them or they to you, you would have 'know' that...they were here for dad, not for us." Yes, it does sound like the Angels were there for your dad but I also think they were there for your comfort too as they at least let you see them <3
