Who was resurrected with Jesus?

[thankfulttt]

Mat 27:52-53 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Who, do you believe, were these people?

they are simply the ones Yhvh chose. why?

I don't know, but a guess might be the 144,000, since they would be considered the firstfruits.


Rev 14:4 "These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb."

Moses and Elijah. Jesus has a job for those two.

Could be. It says many arose, and they were called saints. Nobody ever seems to talk about who they were. Just thought it might be an interesting subject.

The realization just came to me that both Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus out of the grave prior to the death of Jesus.

it is clearly not 144,000 people, -
check again and see how many people were raised from the grave (AND SEEN BY OTHERS AROUND YERUSALEM) when Yahshua was raised by Yhvh.

Brother was there a number given, and why not the 144,000?

And many have them as the Two Witnesses of Revelation.

I believe it was the emptying of Abraham's bosom. The old testament saints, David, Daniel, Joshua ect... this being the first resurrection.

In Christ

Even the most learned servants of God cannot agree on whether the people who were raised from the dead by the Old Testament prophets and by the Lord Jesus on earth, as well as the saints in Matthew 27, were all resurrected with a spiritual body. Hence, it is difficult to say anything definitely. Since this point does not have much to do with our spiritual life in our present experience, we can only let it go.

Concerning the 144,000. More is said of them in the book of Revelation. There are obvious dis-similarities and also there is no apparent connection, nor has any been made as far as I know by the emissaries of Yahshua.

Perhaps. John the Baptist could possibly be one of the two. John was beheaded, and Jesus said, if you will receive it, Elias has come. All speculation.

Dan greetings,

Could have been the emptying of Abraham's bosom. Would be afraid to call it the first resurrection, because it would seem that happens just prior to the millennium.

Christ is the firstfruits. 1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

The 144,000 were also called the firstfruits. Rev 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Notice that they follow the Lamb wherever he goes. Could they be with him now?

the 144k, the 2w, and john, all are described in Scripture in enough detail to essentially rule them out.
besides, john was the only one who had already been born, lived and died. too obvious!

Shouldn't we treat all scripture equally? 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Concerning the 144,000. More is said of them in the book of Revelation. There are obvious dis-similarities and also there is no apparent connection, nor has any been made as far as I know by the emissaries of Yahshua.

What are the dis-similarities? The apparent connection would be that they are the firstfruits, and that they follow Christ wherever he goes.

Love you as a brother, Terry

Who's treating any Scripture not equally? although it doesn't matter on the internet, per se, or on this site - if all Scripture was understood and obeyed(Yhvh Willing !), there wouldn't be any denominations ! or catholicism ! or (a whole bunch of other things!) . If the Father does not grant understanding of something, it is not to be had in any way.


good, you ( bolded) listed one of the most obvious dis-similarities, which is sufficient by itself, but(just in case it's not understood that way, then) there are most likely several others, as you might find by reading Revelation .
some of the points may be opposed to religious ideas held by some parties, so I won't list them - they will have to be found , Yhvh willing, by searching/reading.
