The Ark Hive
That speaks of the 'firstfruits' resurrected, which was explicitly mentioned in the previous response, post 8, which said:Also found this one, the scripture is immediately after Jesus's death.
Mathew 27:52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus' resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
What did they just go back to sleep after they appeared to these people? I don't think so!
"Grave/dust. We all go to Heaven together, as Paul, Job, and so many others say, as Jesus said, He has to return for us all. [Jesus, Enoch, Moses, Elijah and the firstfruits are the typological and only exceptions]."
The group of the 'firstfruits' were resurrected from the grave, dust of the earth. They were not in heaven beforehand. They were resurrected when Jesus was resurrected, and Jesus ascended to Heaven with His trophies of victory, but it was not everyone in all the graves of the world, but only a select group ["many"] around Jerusalem, where the earthquakes [at Jesus death, and at His resurrection, from Gabriel descending from Heaven to roll away the stone] took place.
They do not need to go back to sleep, they are resurrected permanently as Moses was, as Jesus was. Only those in the grave, sleep.
The text you have cited demonstrates exactly what was presented to you.
The 'firstfruits' are mentioned in several places:
Exo_23:19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
Lev 23:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
Lev 23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Isa_26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Psa_68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
1Co_15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1Co_15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
Eph_4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
They could not enter heaven before the fulfillment of this Feast by Jesus and could not ascend on their own without Christ Jesus.Lev 23:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
Lev 23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Isa_26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Psa_68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
1Co_15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1Co_15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
Eph_4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
