You were good right till you said Lazarus spirit was sleeping.
Sleeping … Napping … regarding the BODY, is with the EXPECTATION, the BODY shall arise awake.
Jesus using the TERM “SLEEP” “regarding Lazarus” when speaking to his Disciples…was a “HINT”, (Jesus was going to RAISE UP Lazarus)….
The DISCIPLES, didn’t get it…
The DISCIPLES, didn’t yet KNOW Lazarus was Bodily DEAD.
Thus…Jesus FLAT OUT SAID…Lazarus IS DEAD…(regarding his BODY).
So they ALL arrive at the town. Lazarus’ sister sees Jesus coming, runs to meet Him, is weeping because Lazarus is (bodily) dead and buried, and. SHE believed “IF” Jesus had arrived sooner, He could have prevented Lazarus’ Death.
Lazarus’ sister Mary was busy making ready (neat / tidy) for Jesus’ visit.
Jesus goes to the tomb where Lazarus’ dead body is buried and been buried for 4 days).
A crowd of mourners are present.
Jesus’ orders the rocks covering the tomb entrance to be removed.
Some of the mourners “gasp” full well knowing the horrific stench of a rotting dead body.
The rocks are removed. Jesus calls to Lazarus, by name, to rise and come forth…
AND HE DOES…
NOW, at that TIME…Jesus’ disciples get it…
Lazarus’ wasn’t taking a nap, then going to rise up. Lazarus was dead and going to be risen up BY THE POWER OF God, to resume LIVING his bodily life.
What one “should” have learned…IS God returned Lazarus’ Living Soul, BACK into his dead body, and his dead body RESUMED LIVING.
It didn’t take JESUS being there 4 days earlier, for JESUS to call up Lazarus’ to RECEIVE back into his body, his Living soul, and his BODY resume living.
Every man, AT JUDGEMENT, SHALL have his living soul (saved or not) returned to his body…(raised in glory or raised in its natural state)….that ALL will STAND before the JUDGE and Receive their Judgement and Sentence.
With that KNOWLEDGE…the understanding of calling a bodily dead man “SLEEPING”, is precisely BECAUSE…sleep denotes an expectation to rise up awake….and ALL DEAD BODY’S SHALL be risen up…their souls returned to their body’s…and they Fully Aware of the Pronouncement of
THEIR Judgement and Sentence…
Same the US founders provided…
The accused, Face their Judge, Hear their Judgement…Hear their Sentence.
Glory to God,
Taken
