There is no indication ever in Scripture that there is any delay between physical death and eternal fate. Even if hell is later cast into the Lake of Fire, and if "Abraham's bosom" is merged with heaven, the point is the same: it is appointed unto man once to die, and after that the judgment. To be absent from the body is to be experiencing eternity, and there are only two choices there: with God, or separated from Him.
