1 | Do you mean some people will live twice? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 4512 | ||
Are you saying the tribulation saints are going to live twice? I think the scenario you suggest is that people would become believers during the tribulation, be killed for their belief and go to heaven but then they will return with Christ to live and die during the Millennium. I don't think so, if we look at Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,". While I know Hebrews 9:27 was written to cast down the belief in reincarnation I think it is still very applicable to this situation. |

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. 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 (emphasis mine) (e.g., Lazarus and the multitude who were resuscitated at Christ's resurrection died twice; compare John 11; Matt 27). "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)" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word, 1997). |

Let's not split hairs, Heb 9:27 is a general rule, and I think it was to counter any teaching on reincarnation. Obviously everyone didn’t die I can think of two Enoch and Elijah and there are many that died twice, all those raised from the dead either by Jesus or a servant of God’s. However I also think it is safe to assume that it applies in this situation. I can not believe God would allow a group of people to experience heaven (even in very limited basis) and then bring them back to earth to live a length of time. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment! I know Jesus did just that but isn't that what makes what Jesus did even more amazing? Jesus laid down the glory of Heaven to come to this earth because of love for us. Let’s assume it isn’t the tribulation saints that were martyred and brought back to life, is there anybody else left to go through the Millennium? Is it possible we have the wrong idea about the millennium? |

You do bring up a good point. No matter what happens we must be willing to do as He bids. The more important question is what is your final destination? At least one group could be wrong ... maybe all are. Each can point to a passage, supporting their view. |
