The last word about Moses as a person in the Old Testament leaves him in the grave. But what happened to him; what happens to us after that? The New Testament delivers a glimpse of Jesus transfigured and talking with Moses and Elijah. Soul sleepers are those who believe that the spiritual component of a human being is "asleep" until the return of Christ, yet that theory does not quite fit the story found in Luke 9:28-36. This is a vision, but it is not a vision of a future resurrection. They spoke of what was to take place at that time not in the future. There is no basis in the context for that theory. Most Christians take the verses at face value and do not even try and retrofit them to a half-baked notion. On face value, it is an interesting and encouraging glimpse of life after death.
