Subject: I have a problem with Mat 27:53 |
Bible Note: Thank you Psalm 25 for your answer, perhaps what is written bellow will help you to see my problem. Matt 27:51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. Matt 27:52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; Matt 28:2 And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. Have a look at the verses above, and tell me do you think that the "severs earthquake". referred to in verse 2 of Ch 28, is the same one described as "the earth shook", in verse 51 of Ch 27, or are they two different events? Also, if the saints were not raised until after Jesus was raised, and assuming that Matthew was describing events in chronological order, then why does he refer to this event as happening at the time of the death of Jesus, and not later on in Ch 28, at the time of our Lord's resurrection? Thank you ebrain. |
