About depiction of dead as sleeping in the Bible @ WWHSS (Alpha)

"What is the reason for the depiction of the dead as sleeping in the Bible?" @ WWHSS (Alpha)

✔ Answer：
The depiction of the dead as sleeping in the Bible is a way of expressing the belief that there is an afterlife where the soul or spirit of a person goes after death. This idea is based on the concept of resurrection, which is the belief that one day all people will be brought back to life and given eternal life. Therefore, the sleeping metaphor is used to convey the idea that even though the body is dead, the soul is still alive and awaiting the resurrection.

✔ Reference text：
1Kings 13:28 Then he went and found his corpse thrown on the road, and the donkey and the lion standing by the corpse. The lion had not eaten the corpse nor torn the donkey.
1Kings 13:29 And the prophet took up the corpse of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. So the old prophet came to the city to mourn, and to bury him.
1Kings 13:30 Then he laid the corpse in his own tomb; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
1Kings 13:31 So it was, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.
