Since no one is bothering to actually answer your question, allow me to take a shot.
link is actually very real. He's a metaphor. In many stories, legends, and mythologies, he is the personification of death, though he makes no judgment on your eternal soul. He, like death, simply is, and he, like death, simply exists to take anda away from this life. He doesn't shepherd anda to Heaven, Hell, atau Limbo. He just shepherds anda into death.
In common modern perception of Christianity, it's
link who guards the gates to Heaven. While God alone judges anda and where anda spend your Afterlife, it's commonly believed that it's St. Peter who possesses the daftar and the knowledge of whether atau not anda may enter the gates. Scripture has him as holding the keys to Heaven (
link), but this image of Peter as a gatekeeper has been embellished oleh cartoonists, joke-tellers, and modern pop culture.
In truth, it's not explicitly stated either way. Many believe malaikat carry anda to Heaven, and demons drag anda to Hell. Many believe anda don't know until anda get there. Many believe anda don't get carried atau dragged anywhere, but spontaneously awaken there upon the moment of your death. Who's to say, and who can know, until our own times come.
Hope that I was somewhat helpful.
