What does the Bible say about seeing Christ before death?

The Bible illustrates that having a view of Christ before death is fundamental for believers. Luke 2:25-26 recounts Simeon's experience, where it was revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before seeing the Lord's Christ. This expectation led to Simeon's peace, famously stating, 'Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.' Such a perspective is vital for Christians, as seeing Christ through faith diminishes the fear associated with dying and assures them of eternal life. Similar to Simeon, who waited for the consolation of Israel, believers today must seek a revealed Christ to navigate the inevitable journey of death.
