Why do good people die?

Some people think like this: If there was a God, good people would not suffer...if we can't understand things like death then surely life has no meaning or purpose and therefore we just live and die with no reason...if God really exists He would surely answer the prayers of the desperate. Although these thoughts make sense to many people, it needs to be addressed from a Biblical theistic perspective. This podcast episode does just that. Isaiah 57:1-2 The righteous perish and no-one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints. Ezekiel 33:11. As surely as I live declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die o House of Israel?!
