The thing about sleeping is it's used as a euphemism for some one who's flesh body has died...
Using the word sleep, and using it also, to describe life after death; dose not fit into the biblical description, of what happens to some one who has passed away.
You can be dead physically, but you can also be dead to the truth ( spiritually speaking dead, in that way) .
Christ also gives eternal life, and if you have not obtained that, then you can be spiritually/figurative considered " dead "because of a mortal soul.
So its a play on words that has many confused about figures of speech. But, if we follow the Bible closely, the subjects show us how these words are to be taken.
1 Peter 4:6
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
You can be spiritually dead to truth, and be preached to, but consciously dead, no. But we know, God is not the God of the dead; but He is the God of the living.
Christ during the Lords day is doing something for a 1,000 years. It is not to let people sleep. But to wake them up to the truth. The priest that reign with Christ, is not there to worship, but to minister to the lost. It follows the subject, because the "dead" had been deceived buy Antichrist just prior to Christ return at His Lords Day.
