Subject: Where did the dead go prior to Jesus |
Bible Note: Sheol is the grave. Haven't you read Ecclesiastes 9:5? Where was Lazarus then before Jesus called him forth from the grave? "John 11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead." Jesus said to them plainly, Lazarus is dead. The dead go to the graves and are buried. Remember that there are those that are dead in Christ and those that are NOT. But the thing that they have in common are that they are BOTH DEAD, in the graves (sheol), until the harvest meaning the end of the world. |
