Bible Question:
Matthew 27 52The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. Is there any more information on this verse? Who were these people, and what happened to them? Have they shown up in other religious studies? |
Bible Answer: There are five other stings for Matt 27:52 - look there. We do know ... - Bodies of many (but not all) Jewish saints came back to life - They come out of the tombs in which they had been buried. - They went into the "holy city" (Jerusalem). - They became visible to many people (but not all). we do not know - if they rose with natural (like Lazarus), or supernatural bodies (like Christians will have). - how long they remained on earth - who they appeared too - the exact number or the names of those raised I am not aware if they shown up in other religious studies. I'd be careful -- it may not square (plumbline) with the Bible. Hope this helps, Searcher Hope this helps, Searcher |
