1 | let us not sleep, but watch. | 1 Thess 5:6 | Scribe | 54829 | ||
When I read this passage in context I cannot escape the idea that he is saying live a life so that if the dreadful day comes upon us suddenly today, you will not be found in sin and as such unprepared. So if living holy and in faith (which are inseperable) or being awake and ready by living holy as if it could come today, then I will be blessed and not suffer the wrath of God, however if I were to fall asleep (as many are doing) and live in sin I will not be ready and that day will come upon me as it will all the children of disobedience. Does this teach whether we will go through the 7 year time of tribulation? I dont think it mentions that here, it does teach that the one awake will not suffer wrath , but the one asleep will. | ||||||
2 | let us not sleep, but watch. | 1 Thess 5:6 | Scribe | 54830 | ||
Also as a follow up, we know from numerous other passages that to watch is to pray. So we are told that if we find we are falling asleep we should start increasing our prayer life, if we see others falling asleep, tell them to increase their prayer life. | ||||||
