Subject: I have a problem with Mat 27:53 |
Bible Note: The explanation I gave would be in harmony with Scripture. Otherwise how could it be said that Jesus was "the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep [in death]." - 1 Corinthians 15:20. And again in Colossian 1:18: ". He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that he might become the one who is first in all things." Jesus was the first of the saints, or holy ones to be raised from the dead, and even Paul understood that after he was to die there would be a period of time that he would have to wait before he was raised to heavenly life with Jesus. |
