Matthew

SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR CONTENT THREADS.
Bible Question:  Here is something that has puzzled me for some time now and i hope someone can provide some good answer for what I am about to ask.I will use the NASB text.

(just after Christ yielded up His spirit (Mt. 27:50)
Mat. 27:51-53 says: "the earth shook; and the rocks were split, and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep (meaning they died) were raised; and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered and appeared to many.

Now my question is this:

With such an unusual event such as this happening in Jerusalem, wouldn't you suppose more would have been written about this?
I mean here were many bodies of dead saints raised to life and they entered Jerusalem and appeared to many.
I can vididly imagine if that were to happen today, CNN, FOX and CNBC would be there with live coverage
So why don't we find more written on this. Or has any one come across any historical writtings that might have mentioned this event?

In Christ

Bible Answer:  You have a sixth sense! However I respond in part from an commentary that is too great to include here, it states; This matter is not related so fully as our curiosity would wish, for the scripture was not intended to gratify that.
We may rise many enquiries concerning it, which we cannot resolve..
To whom they appeared (not to all it is certain,
but to many), whether enemies or friends, in what manner they appeared, how often, what they said and did, and how they disappeared, are secret thing which belong not to us; we must not covet to be wise above what is written. The relating of this matter so briefly, is a plain intimination to us, that we must not look that way for a cofirmation of our faith, we have a more sure word of prophecy. see Luke 16:31
So now you know in part as to why there is not much written on this subject. Hey with all that excitement you have, why don't you go pray for some of those dead people walking around out there, some need reviving! God bless you!!
P.S. Contact me if you like to have the web site, for its complete commentary.
