Looking for a particular verse.

[DonnyT]

I remember reading something sometime ago about life being like a dream where people ate, then when they die (or wake from that dream) they will realize they were eating nothing.

Anyone ever heard of this or is it even in the Bible?

 

[InSpiritInTruth]

This one comes to mind....

Isaiah 29:8
It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

Not in the Bible.

In the faith,

Wow, fantastic! TY! Been looking for this for a while. This looks like the closest match but I'm guessing he's referring to the attackers of the City of David and how they will not be able to capture it; and not "life" itself (in the sense that life is like a dream and the afterlife is the reality)
