2 | Searching for the truth | Heb 9:27 | Radioman2 | 89490 | ||
And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, (NASB Hebrews 9:27) If one means to interpret Heb 9:27, as many honest and sincere folks do, to mean that every individual must die once and only once, this is easily refuted by our general knowledge of the Bible together with common sense. In his Study Bible, John MacArthur comments on Heb 9:27: '*to die once*. This is a general rule for all mankind. There have been very rare EXCEPTIONS (e.g., Lazarus and the multitude who were resuscitated at Christ's resurrection died twice; compare John 11:43,44; Matt 27:51-53). Those, like Lazarus, who were raised from the dead by a miraculous act of our Lord were not resurrected to a glorified body and unending life. They only experienced resuscitation. 'Another exception will be those who don't die even once, but who will be "caught up...to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thess 4:17; compare Enoch, Gen. 5:24; Elijah, 2 Kin. 2:11).' (Emphasis added.) |
