Bible Question: scripture that say all will taste death |
Bible Answer: A general rule for all mankind ____________________ '*to die once*. This is a general rule for all mankind. There have been very rare exceptions...' ____________________ And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, (NASB Hebrews 9:27) In his Study Bible, John MacArthur comments on Heb. 9:27: '*to die once*. This is a general rule for all mankind. There have been very rare exceptions (e.g., Lazarus and the multitude who were resuscitated at Christ's resurrection died twice; compare John 11:43, 44; Matt. 27:51-53). Those, like Lazarus, who were raised from the dead by a miraculous act of our Lord were not resurrected to a glorified body and unending life. They only experienced resuscitation. 'Another exception will be those who don't die even once, but who will be "caught up...to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thess. 4:17; compare Enoch, Gen. 5:24; Elijah, 2 Kin. 2:11).' (Emphasis added.) |
