Proverbs 6:9 How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?

God is calling the spiritually dead to be born again, to awaken to a new life. Sleep is a metaphor for being spiritually dead.

Luke 8:52 And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.”

Those who like to sleep are sluggards, they hold tight to old beliefs, titles, and privileges.

John 3:4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”

All those who were in the world only had visions of earthly kingdoms but Jesus was showing them the everlasting kingdom. John 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Those that are asleep dream of ruling their own world. Vanity of vanities!!!

  • John 18:36
    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”
  • James 2:5
    Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?
  • Revelation 11:15
    The Seventh Trumpet
    Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”

Wake them up! They need to be warned.

Proverbs 6:10-11 English Standard Version

10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
