Bible Question (short): Do we sleep , awaiting Jesus' return? |
Question (full): 1Thessalonians 4:13 to 18. These verses refer to those who die in Christ. The words "those who have fallen asleep" are mentioned here and other passages. Does thia mean when we die that we are in a state of sleep until the coming of the Lord. For some this is called grave sleep. I am aware that no matter if there is grave sleep or as Hebrews 9:27 says "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgement." NASB Even this verse can mean that AFTER, which who knows when after is, could mean when Christ returns, then it is after. Please answer this only with scriptural back up. This is important to me, and please take time in answering it. Thank you for your answer. justme |
