God knew that the human race would be div to make a great ado about exit from this world, and so he Inspires Job mid David and Daniel and John and Pr.ul to call that condition "sleep." When at Bethany ihe brother who was the Mipi>ott of his sisters after their fa? ther and mother were goOS had him? self expired. Christ cried out In regard to him. "Ile ls not dead, hut sleepeth."
