The Place of Sleep

"Death is wholly an unconscious sleep, as, in the very nature of the case, it must be when the place of sleep is in the grave. 
 
*Then it is that "many of them that sleep in the dust of the
earth
shall awake." Dan. 12:2
--Then is the time to which David looked when he fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers: "As for me, I will behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness." Ps. 17:15
--This is the time to which Job looked when he said, "Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep." 
*For it is at the coming of Christ and the resurrection of the dead that the heavens roll away."
A.T. Jones
