As a paramedic, I’ve seen people that looked like they were breathing, but alas they were dead. On the flip side, I’ve observed people I thought were dead, but their eyes opened and they were a living being. You just can’t tell sometimes. Does the Bible mention this phenomenon? Glad you asked.
Therefore, He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”
These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;
Twice dead is really dead. Look in the mirror of God’s Word. Are you alive or dead? Give it some careful consideration.
