Bible Q

Does our soul sleep after death until the return of Jesus?

Thank you for this list of verses that you have provided showing that after death we are in a state of unconsciousness. At Christ’s return there will be a resurrection to judgement of the righteous and unrighteous. “You shall not surely die” is said by the serpent, not by God. Death is real.

  1. As far as I know is the moment we die, the same moment as Jesus’ return… This time, while my grandma is dead and I still live, does not exsist from my grandma’s point of view. So, that’s 1 moment. While I can count the years my grandma is dead, for her there is no time between dying and Jesus’ return and judgement etc.
