Genesis 25: 8: Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
Abraham’s being gathered to his people upon dying by no means implies that he was buried in a family burial ground. Abraham had been called out of Chaldea in Genesis 12, and journeyed far from his family burial ground in that land; furthermore, the Bible tells us that he was buried next to his wife Sarah in the cave of Machpelah near Hebron (Genesis 25: 9).
Abraham went to Paradise when he died. Paradise is what Jesus would call “Abraham’s bosom” (Luke 16: 22), because Abraham, as the father of the Jewish Church, would receive into the Kingdom all the Old Testament saints that had died. So when Abraham was gathered to his people, he went to Paradise where he would be numbered among the Old Testament Jewish Church of sleeping saints.
Fast-forward to 1960, and the prophet’s experience of crossing over the Curtain of Time, it was there that he saw many saints come running forward to greet him. When he asked if all these people were Branham’s, the Voice responded that they were the converts of his ministry on the earth. So we learn that when Brother Branham eventually died on December 24, 1965, he was gathered with all those who were connected with his ministry on the earth.
The same principle applies for each of the seven church age messengers, that when they died, they went to the Region of the Blessed in the sixth dimension, and were there assembled with the many that came to Christ under their ministries on the earth. This is the reason why Brother Branham did not see the Apostle Paul and the saints of Ephesus or any other age, because although they too were in the Region of the Blessed, yet each group was separated in that dimension by varying planes of existence within that world.
