You first claimed that ALL THE JUST ARE RAISED one time...
ProphecyCountdown writes- No that’s not what the Bible says.
The resurrection of life happens AT HIS SECOND COMING.
Why was only one group OF JUST RAISED over 1900 years ago IN MATTHEW 27:52?
Why was just that group raised FIRST and WHY will there be another RESURRECTION OF THE JUST?
If so, why does the Bible NOT SPEAK OF TWO RESURRECTIONS of the just. That is, the FIRST RESURRECTION OF THE JUST.... MATTHEW 27:52 Took place around 33AD, 1st century
Then after over 2000 years , after the 20th century, ANOTHER RESURRECTION of the just.. that is in our future.
You have some inconsistencies SINCE YOU NOW SPEAK OF TWO RESURRECTIONS OF THE JUST.
IF THE FIRST RESURRECTION Matthew 27:52, took place in 33AD, then the 1000 years followed soon after that.. as you imply.
THE FIRST RESURRECTION is not divided into 2 by 2000+ year gap.
Do NOT erroneously IMPLY that the Bible teaches TWO SETS OF FIRST RESURRECTIONS... you cannot misconstrue the Bible and present it as what the Bible says.
this below is Clearly false
FIRST RESURRECTION step ONE Matthew 27:52 33AD
THEN first resurrection 2 .. after 20th century
The first resurrection is not split into two sets with over 2000 years separating them.

YOU HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD THIS verse BELOW

My reply.
I will repeat the Bible verses so that you can’t possibly miss it!
We were discussing the righteous dead and wicked dead at the time they would be raised.
The righteous dead are raised first one group at His resurrection and the rest of the Saints are raised first then the living are changed and caught up with Him at His second coming, long before the wicked are raised.
That is what I meant by the dead being raised first.
This is what I said.
“Show me in the Bible, where it says the condemned and saved come up together at exactly the same time, as you propose?”
“Some of those that are a part of the resurrection to life HAVE BEEN RAISED ALREADY, so whose assuming?”
“Matt 27:50. At once the curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, and rocks split apart. 52 Graves opened, and MANY of God’s people were raised to life. 53 They left their graves, and after Jesus had risen to life, they went into the holy city, where they were seen by many people.”
“Were any of the UNJUST RAISED in Matt 27:50 ?
NO!”
“When are some of, “the dead in Christ” Saints raised first?”
“Answer. AT HIS SECOND COMING!”
“1 Thessalonians 4:16. For the LORD HIMSELF shall DESCEND FORM HEAVEN with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the DEAD IN CHRIST shall RISE FIRST:
17. Then WE which are ALIVE and remain shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHERWITH THEM in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
“Do the above verses say anything about the wicked being raised “at the same time as the dead or living?”
Answer. NO!”
I was discussing the fact that the wicked dead will not be raised at the same time as the Righteous dead. The righteous will be raised first as part of the resurrection of life.
Atkin’s question.
Why was only one group OF JUST RAISED over 1900 years ago IN MATTHEW 27:52?
Why was just that group raised FIRST and WHY will there be another RESURRECTION OF THE JUST?
My answer.
The answer to that is so easy, I can’t understand how on Earth you missed it!
Not all of the Earth’s population OF SAINTS had been borne 1900 years ago therefore how could ALL THE SAINTS BE RAISED back 1900 years ago?
It is the BIBLE that says they WILL BE raised at different times.
It was a sign of Jesus being the resurrection of life.
FIRST GROUP RAISED WAS AROUND 33AD.
Matt 27:50 And the graves were opened; and MANY BODIES of the SAINTS which slept AROSE, 53And came OUT OF THEIR GRAVES AFTER HIS RESURRECTION, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
The above is what THE BIBLE SAYS!
Now for the next group of SAINTS to come up.
“1 Thessalonians 4:16. For the LORD HIMSELF shall DESCEND FORM HEAVEN with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the DEAD IN CHRIST shall RISE FIRST:
17. Then WE which are ALIVE and remain shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHERWITH THEM in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
The above verse is the fulfilment of Daniel’s prophecies.
Daniel 12:1. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy PEOPLE SHALL BE DELIVERED EVERY ONE that shall be FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK.
