No, the Bible does not teach that the soul sleeps after death.Instead, the Bible describes death as a sleep-like state for the body, while the soul is immediately present with God.
The Bible uses the word "sleep" metaphorically to describe death, which is temporary.For example, in Acts 7:60, Luke describes Stephen's death as "falling asleep".
The Christians soul and spirit will be with Christ in Heaven and it will be awake and alive when they die.
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to beabsentfromthebody, and to be present withtheLord.
Apostle John saw in a revelation the 144,000 saints singing. The souls are not sleeping but awake and alive.
Revelation 14:3
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
We know that God rested on the 7th day, but did not go to sleep.
Genesis 2:2
AndontheseventhdayGod ended his work which he had made; and herestedontheseventhdayfrom all his work which he had made.
The fiscal body of this world sleeps both ways, life and death , but not soul sleeping in the spirit.
May we all sleep good tonight in the Lord Jesus Christ without having any bad dreams.
Ray, in Christ Jesus 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 the gospel of grace that never sleeps
