Once again the theme is emphasized. The boasting rich man will die, and he will be gathered to his forefathers and receive a place in their grave. To put it differently, he enters the darkness of death and will not see the light again. This is not about eternal life but about that which people experience every day. Generation upon generation dies, and they enter the realm of darkness, and therefore they see no light.
19 his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light.
